theres a £20 one in argos does a good job

put from your splitter to your upstairs for best results ok mate

Is there no way i can run it next to the box as the splitter is on a outside wall. I need to install it next to the box upstairs

thered · 28-02-08, 09:51 PM

use it nearest the box thats farthest away from the split will give best results

ok bit stuck ere peeps

I have one main feed outside my house that goes into a 3 way splitter (this is all on the outside wall) of the splitter one cable goes in the wall to feed the box downstairs(that one works perfect) then 2 cables shoot of round the house one to feed modem and the other to the upstairs box. Can i put the booster in the upstairs bedroom next to the box iv got the problem with?

Is it as easy as it looks just split the feed in the bedroom put the booster on then out of the booster into the back of the euro>?

yeah no problem the booster will work however many feet from the box doesnt need to be near or far away from your set top box just whichever place it goes best. as long as its the wire that runs upstairs and not before the split will give the best results

There is an advantage of using a booster early as it compensates for cable loss, but if it has to go behind the box, then so be it. The big advantage of Argos is there 16 Day return policy
