Wool over my eyes !!

Dear All,

I have a TV aerial man coming to sort out the following problem.

I have two media centre PC which in different rooms but sharing the same
freeview aerial feed. However one of them cannot find channels ITV 1, ITV 2,
ITV 3 and the odd frozen picture on channel 4. I assume that the signal
strength is the problem, as if I just connect one media pc to the main
aerial feed all is ok.
What I would like to do, is have TV feeds into four rooms from the main
Freeview aerial, but with no loss of signal strength. Is this possible?

I don't want to throw more money at this project if its not going to work
and we are going to have picture freezes. Any advice would be welcome.

Cheers
Andrew

You will need a "distribution amplifier". One in, four out; mains
powered, but sometimes can be remotely powered, up one of the output co-ax
leads, as opposed to needing a mains supply at the ideal site for the
amplifier.
