Have a cable box connected via 3-way splitter, 1 output to box &amp; 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 you are replacing a passive splitter, this should help. Only trying it will tell for sure.

Yes, that is exactly what I am using one of the two I bought to do. And, yes, an amplifier will help you be able to tune in weaker channels as well. I am using an amplifier to do that as well, without it sometimes one of my weaker channels will drop out ... and if that happens at the beginning of a show time it will cause my DVR to skip recording the entire show. So I use the combiner to connect two OTA antennas pointed in different directions and then boost the signal strength. Hope that helps you to solve your problems.

I have cox Cable and used it to split the signal and it worked great. This should do the job.

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.

The one I purchased works well for cable. I don't think it is designed to boost the signal for satellite systems.

The box doesn't know if you are watching the output from it or not. Thus, you can split the antenna signal with half going to the box and half going to an alternate antenna input on your TV. This way you can watch one show and record another. I don't have this exact box, but I have the HDMI output from the box going into my TV and the (split) antenna signal going in the coax input on the TV. Then by choosing the source: HDMI gets me the box output (whether live or playback), while ANT gives me the live OTA signal. Of course, this works because my TV has a built-in tuner and I am just using the box as a primitive DVR. Since you stated that your TV is newer, it most likely will have a built-in ATSC tuner.

No it only works for over the air signals (OTA). And DO NOT buy this box! The company has shut down the DVR service and abandoned all its customers.

Hmmm, I am pretty sure my Set840 is plugged into the Audio Out of my AV Amplifier. So I control the headset and others the sound from AMP. Also my DISH DVR is using the AMP to put its signal through. I would guess that if your Cable box doesn't have an Audio out --- your outta luck. Buy a cheap AV system.

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.

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

Yes, this will help if you have a low signal level getting to your modem. If you don't have too low a signal level then it will do nothing useful. In other words if your signal is lower than about (negative) -13dBmV this may help. If it's higher it won't.

Yes. This unit is basically a single line booster followed by a balanced splitter. Like other splitters, you should terminate unused outputs.

This splitter only works with the SWiM network. If you have 2 runs to each box then you don't have a SWiM network. With the SWiM network, you only need one coax run to each receiver, while still being able to record two shows at once.Without a SWiM network, there is no way to split the signal. There must be one cable for each tuner.

Robert, this amp does not work for cable box to cable box communication. The boxes use the spectrum above 1 Gig to communicate with each other. The reverse on this amp is between 5 and 54 Meg. It is designed to exit your property and talk back to your Cable provider. If you attach this amp to all your boxes, it can actually make it worse because the amp is not designed to push above 1 Gig. It would be best to have your cable company balance all of your outlets so the boxes can communicate best with each other.

Yes, the output level is more than sufficient for a receiver's line-level input. In fact, that's how I use my Mpow. You don't have to worry about level matching on the Mpow as it is fixed. You would adjust levels using your source device. I would advise keeping the cable length as short a possible, however.

In using this I found the best setup is the cable feed enters the house. Put in a 2-way splitter. One leg of the splitter run directly to the cable modem (I have Comcast), run the other leg of the two way splitter into this Booster. From this booster run to a single splitter with enough ports to supply all your televisions. If you have unused ports put terminators on them. I used this splitter from the Motorola Amp to my televisions Calrad 75-713-8 8-Way 1GHz Digital Splitter.They make smaller splitters, but this one had the amount of ports I needed. If you use multiple splitters you degrade your signal a lot, that's why one large splitter with all home runs of cable is best.Good luck.
