Distribution amp for output of Virgin+ box?
 

I have Virgin cable at home, with their V+ PVR box. I want to take the
output from that (coax) and distribute it around the house to several
rooms - I know that means you can't control the channels or PVR output
in the other rooms, but that's OK.

Cabling to most of the rooms are already actually in place from a
previous TV distribution system, and I know it does work, using an old
existing cheapo Maxview 3-way amp thing which I already have plugged in
upstairs in the airing cupbiard, however (a) I'm sure better picture
quality is possible with a decent amp and (b) I need a new one with a
minimum of 7 outputs.

Any recommendations for a suitable bit of kit?

Thanks
David

If you use the HDMI option on the V+ box you will lose the RF output
