[QUOTE="Forgotten Illustrator, post: 72826, member: 17564"] Please keep in mind that there are “Boosters (amplifiers)”, there are “splitters” and there are “booster/splitters” A booster will filter (pass band) frequencies then amplifier the signal. Along with any noise that may be in the TV receiving frequencies range. But they can only amplify so much of a weak signal before the information is corrupted with noise being amplify too. They DO NOT split the signal. Plus they use external power to work. A splitter only splits the signal and uses no external assistance to function. So as a result the output lines are equally downgraded in signal strength. To get the best of both worlds they use “booster/splitters” by boosting and splitting and as a conclusion the outs are equally amplified for each line. But IMO I wound just try a cheap T junction ant the HTPC end first. Then if that doses not work go out and buy a new 4 way booster/splitter. P.S love your schematic :) [/QUOTE]
