Peach

I called Roadrunner a few months ago with a similar problem. I put a splitter between my tv and my computer so I could use my tv tuner card on the computer. When the splitter is connected I lose signal strength to my tv and some channels can't be received. The PC signal is fine. From what I understand, each time you split the signal you weaken the signal. I hope someone comes up with a solution.

Peach and thecow.....as mentioned Radio Shack does sell signal boosters for cable lines. I think they run from $20 to $40 .....I've tried a couple of RS's boosters and never had much luck with them...I've got 6 TV sets. I asked around and did a web search a few months back and found this site: I bought their booster.

smarthome.com

More expensive but it did a good job. They've got other boosters also but their tech guy recommended these to me.
