RG-59 & Amplifier?

Crypt · 2005-03-09T07:25:23+00:00

Hi all,I have cheap RG-59 cable running through the house. (I'd say maybe 200ft total) It is also split 4 ways with a 120db isolation 5-1000mhz splitter. The TV's and cable modem at the end of the cable have a lot of shadowing and other noise. The cable modem also occasionally will lose it's connection.If I were to install a single port electroline 15db amplifier, would it resolve some of these issues? I have read RG-59 cable is cheap and there are better cables, but I'd prefer not to re-wire the whole house if possible...Thanks for any info!

Yes, a rather interesting history behind Channel 1. For a bit more detail, go to and download "Whatever happened to Channel ?" Some other good downloads there, as well. Some pretty good stuff on the "Links" page, also.

CIAO!

It is true that using 5-65 MHz as return channel will block several lowers channels on the cable. And indeed here it does that. But that's not too much of a problem, because those are generally to much used and there are lots of channels on the higher frequencies.

Yup, I believe Electroline sells 2 version of this amp, but I haven't seen the 5-65mhz model before... I believe most that are on eBay are the 5-42 MHz version.
