Jimmy Jam Unregistered guest | I bring in a cable line from outside which has both digital and analog cable on it. I split it two ways with a Monster Splitter at the start and the picture is fine on the analog channels. By the time I get to the TV after the VCR with one coaxial split and to the TV after the digital box for the other split. Some of my analog channels have decreased dramatically. Will a Bidirectional Cable/TV Amplifier for One TV from Radio Shack for $30 help this? Will a Recoton V310UL UHF/VHF/FM Signal Amplifier, $15 at Best Buy, help this? |

Jimmy Jam Unregistered guest | Thanks. Do you know of any products like this that are a tad less expensive? I saw a bi-directional amp at Radio Shack for $30, but I doubt it is very powerful. Thanks again. |

New member Username: Project6Post Number: 149 Registered: 12-2003 | yeah, I was looking at that one but I decided on the motorola...better specs, but i really can't judge the Radio Shack because I haven't tried it. I think I paid $40 for the motorola, it was on sale. cheers |

Jimmy Jam Unregistered guest | Berny, Thanks again. I found the one you bought for $41 on the net, but you have to pay shipping and at Circuit City for $80. I will search and hopefully find a deal on the Motorola. Thanks for all of your help. Cheers |

anon903 Unregistered guest | The motorola doesn't work on high channels (up to 1000 mhz only). The recoton doesn't work on low channels (above 950 mhz only). Anyone know of a product that covers both ends of the spectrum? |

leggwork Unregistered guest | the vdm-1001 at http://www.passandseymour.com/ is spec'd for 54Mhz-2Ghz and sells for around $45 I haven't tried it myself. bruce |

fingersley Unregistered guest | The vdm-1001 is unidirectional, which is fine if you only use use the line for CATV. If you use the line for data as well, you need to get something bidirectional |

New member Username: ChainampPost Number: 1 Registered: Jul-04 | What type of amplifier is ok for a setting in which video from a svideo output from a video card is being outputed to a VCR which then is outputed through the VCR RF/Coax line to all the other TV's on the coax in the house. Hope someone can help. Thanks. |

Anonymous | Bruce said "the vdm-1001 at http://www.passandseymour.com/ is spec'd for 54Mhz-2Ghz and sells for around $45 I haven't tried it myself." checked out the site and you must buy from local retail store, put my state and county in and found their products are sold in Home Depot. Think I'll pass on the vdm-1001, I hate Home Depot and the last thing I'd ever buy from them is something electronic, I could swear they sell seconds, many things I bought had to be returned cause it was defective. |
