In Reply to: How does dB apply to a cable amplifier????? posted by Bruce Righter on October 29, 2001 at 16:31:04:
Assuming your cable signal arrives at your home at a 0db point, each spltter will drop this signal by Xdb amount. Average splitters will lower the signal 3db on each new connection. As you can see this will add up fast. As you lower the signal you lower the potential quality of picture at each tv. Amplifiers are used to boost the signal up to a point where you can split it up and not end up with poor pictures at each tv. You would be smart to check with your cable provider and see if they supply amps. They do in our area, (Cox Cable). The amps are not costly and should a problem arrise down the road they will not be pointing at your 3rd party amp as the suspect since they may not support it, and in a lot of cases they would even replace a faulty amp if it was bad, if it was the make and model they supply.
