Have a cable box connected via 3-way splitter, 1 output to box & 2 output to recorders. Having trouble with cable box channels, will this booster help

Yes it will, but I found the Motorola to be a better product. For me I have a two way splitter from the street with one feed to my modem, the other to the Mototola amp, to a 8 way splitter and have no problems with multiple cable boxes and an HD DVR

If your problem with the cable box channels is signal degradation, then yes. If the problem isn't related to weak signal strength, then no.

John:It will depend on what outputs your particular cable box provides and the services you subscribe to.Suggest you get the model number off your cable box and post this same question (including the box model number) in the following forum which is devoted to the Magnavox HDD/DVD recorders:http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=940657&page;=508

I would expect it too. It did a great job boosting both my cable tv and internet signals. I couldn't get HD channels on my bedroom TV before hooking up this booster, and I was dropping internet all the time until I installed this unit. No problems since!

I tried several different cables and set-ups. If you don't have a booster, this will not work. I recommend getting booster with multiple outs (kind of expensive though)

It depends is the correct answer. If your cable box settings under "audio" has a PCM selection, the answer is yes. See my review for more insight.

I had my splitter hooked up to my phone modem, HDTV, and computer. I never noticed a loss in any of the three. But when I eliminated my land line and had my cable company come out and pick up my phone modem the cable techs said there was some loss in using my three-way, so they replaced my three-way with a two-way. But I still do not notice a difference.

it should this cable has a booster on it and I haven't noticed any drop in signal so far, good luck

I have Dish Network connectyed to 1 input & my cable TV system connected to the other. I get great reception on my TV. If one connects multiple TV sets to the output with splitters, the signal may very well be degraded.

how can you use on receiver, cable box and blue ray would you need 3 way splitter for the male end to go out to 3 different box

This splitter will amplify any signal supplied to it. However, it won't help with reception. If the input signal to the splitter is intermittent or noisy, the splitter won't help with that. In my case, the cable into my house had several splits before it came to my cable modem. Installing this splitter boosted a weak, but otherwise intact, signal back up to a useable level.

If your TW cable box has an optical output, the optical-optical will solve the problem & let you have 5.1 channel sound if TW's box supports that.

I wouldn't recommend it because you'll be amplifying a signal that will be weak/bad/grainy after traveling through the long cable. So it may amplify the "bad" signal. Generally it is best to amplify the "good" signal at the beginning of a long cable run or before you split it multiple times.

yes, I have a cable box from Frontier FiOS and this box, with a coax cable splitter prior to each unit, and they both work great.

Sorry, don't know. I didn't have much luck with it boosting my cable signal.

If your tivo is right next to your antenna source (assuming you use over the air) it will not improve anything. If you tivo is far away from your antenna source, you can use this unit to help recover some of the signal loss if you place it somewhere halfway between your tivo and your antenna source

If your cable signal is digital (most likely), it should help eliminate digital blocks that occur if your signal is marginal. If the digital signal cuts out completely, there may not be enough signal there for the booster to send to your set-top box. (If your signal is still analog, it should definitely improve it.)The booster needs to be installed at the service point where the cable comes into the house so it can boost signals for all televisions. You'll need the Motorola Power Inserter BDP-100/PI Remote Power Inserter to send power to the booster if the service point is outside or not near an electrical outlet, and it isn't included with the booster.

Yes, just keep in mind that each time you split the signal of the antenna you weaken the signal that actual reaches the device (t-v, DVR, etc.). You can probably get by with a one-to-two splitter, but more than that and you need to think about getting an RF Amplifier that has multiple outputs, with your antenna connected directly to the RF Amplifier, and individual coaxial feeds from there to each device. I've learned this the hard way.
