What is the db increase per port? I have an Antronix ARA4-8 provided by the cable company and still get pixilation, so looking for a replacement

I have mine with THREE (3) ports active--the last "open" port is covered in the 50 ohm pin (ALA RADIO SHACK), if pin not used you will lose signal tot he working ones. I get from 5-6 DB added, and this gets the signal to all the room TVS. DO NOT push the distance--MAX is 75 feet, then you need another power booster, or you just get 2-4 db increase. NOTE-- you do not get more TV signals--but you get more power (db = decibels) to the signal conning into the house. Call your TV cable service--if your cable outside is not in good shape--you lose lots of db ( I lost 9 db die to a tear). They put in a NEW CABLE--and WOW, more signal, less snow--added my booster--snow went away.

I'm not sure. It doesn't say on the unit and if it came with specs, I probably threw them away. We have an antenna on the roof and the unit works pretty good with that. Hooked up a second TV the other day without any signal loss that we've noticed. Picked Motorola since they've been around for many years. Hope this helps.

The analog Co-axil port on my TV is not broken...the TV works just fine. I currently have an antenna and just need to boost the signal. The signal boost I purchased does not work, but is receiving power from the outlet, but the booster itself does not work. I know this because I tested the power cord send with the amplifier with a mutlimeter. I would prefer to have another amplifier sent, not an antenna and I do not want to convert to HDMI because my TV has no available HDMI ports left.

When I researched this subject I found that double cables provide the most bandwidth for your the signal being transmitted. Which leads to better quality and stability. The key however is to make sure the cables are exactly the same length otherwise it will not work.

i have the same issue with a new Syslink router. Just a lot of data moving with four realtime cameras and it probably needs a dedicated network. If the frame rate of the cameras can be reduced it would help,

Ananth probably does not have a cable box. I do not have cable box, and, I was also looking for a similar (coaxial?) input port.From the picture I thought it was for cable, but, soon realized it is for FM.

It is an interesting question that people ignore. The output you get on the screen in totally dependant on what the quality of the signal is going in. In the computer world there is a term, "garbage in garbage out." Consumer guide used to specifically test how TV's interacted with a cable input. I do not see that they still evaluate this signal input issue. The reality is that all signals are far from equal. I have Cablevision in NYC and find the signal abysmal. I am in a apartment building where the signal is being split 90 times and it is obvious the signal is extremely devalued. My brother in NJ gets Comcast directly into his home and his 1080P picture is the best I have ever seen. In general there are two issues which you may not be able to control, the inate abiltiy of the specific TV to process a cable input and the quality of the signal. I hope this has helped. It is my understanding that satellite and Fios are by far the highest quality signal. Cable is a crapshoot.

Displayport cable are not equal get the higher numbered versions .. older cable will bot carry audio, etc A quick search should produce which version will work best for your needs.All the best.

I do not know. I sent the Minix Neo X7 back. It worked fine. However, there was way too much button clicking required to access the internet and streaming was difficult for a variety of reasons. I had hoped to replace the cable box. It did not work out.

You will need to get a 2 ended female BNC adaptor. Keep in mind the longer the cable run the more chances of loosing image quality.

I were having lots of problem when I 1st installed the antena. I also have cable runs all different rooms. Now I got most of the local channels, but I've tried different things. With the amp, it helps with the pictures freeze now and then. But I don't think it helps with getting more channels. You may want to reposition the antena. Here is a website to give you a direction to point it to. http://www.antennapoint.com/antennas/show?id=95120

It seems more flexible than CATV RG6 to me. That could be due to the dielectric used. It's audio cable. Should be 75 ohms.

Thank you. I made the simple change of repositioning the router from the floor onto a cabinet and that made a big difference. Now the quality is HD, except when there's a lot of motion on the screen, when things can get pixellated.

Matt, thanks for posting this. I had the same question and couldn't find an answer. Is it possible that the latency the reviewer perceived is due to upconverting the signal to 1080i, and you are simply converting the analogue to digital signal without changing the resolution? I'm not clear on whether converting implies *up*converting, couldn't really find an answer... but based on your feedback I think I'll give this a shot.

Thanks Justin, I appreciate the feedback.Do you know if the cables are proprietary, meaning that you cannot use a longer cable?

Thank you Roy and John for your responses. Both replies make sense. I wasn't aware that the cable box had multiple "active" outputs. I assumed that the unit only sent signal out of one output at a time. I'll have to run an experiment. Thanks again for the suggestions! Jack

I noticed no signal quality loss in the 100 foot cable that i am using, i have a total of 160 feet of cable running underground to the camera and its still a crystal clear picture.

I sent it back because of cameras gave a weak picture. I replaced it with the ZMODO IP 4 camera system and the system works great for a little more money. The IP system uses cat 5 cable and is much more easier to run and set up. Good Luck
