    Loft aeriel + cabling to 2 rooms

    Got a decent ariel and putting it in the loft already tested it and things seem to be good signal wise. What i want is to split it off to two rooms. I know i will need a booster as need a booster already.

    Been looking at argos for cable and booster but what they have cable wise has poor customer comments and not sure the boosters are upto much either. So any advice would be great!

    had a look but after pricing all from B&Q seems a bit expensive.

    What do you think about this:

    No, what you really need is a masthead amplifier...

    plus a power supply

    This will ensure that your signal is boosted at source rather than down cable. This is the best place to boost your signal and carrying it out with this masthead amplifier you don't even need a power source in your loft - power is carried up the cable from near one of your TV sets.
    I hope this helps.
