Decent Signal Boosters? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

I'm looking to buy a decent Signal booster for a family member with a Eurovox, reason being is that his signal strength is about 64% which in my opinion is pretty low because im hitting 94%. Ive been at his house and checked the cables, he has an 1.5Meter Coax gold plated cable connecting directly from his the box on the wall to the Eurovox so i dont think thats the problem.

Hes subscribed box works fine, but the Eurovox is a bit "crashy" at times, not all the time but enough to become annoyed by it.

So im need of a Signal booster, budget isnt too much of an issue aslong as its of good quality, he only needs a 2 Way booster, cause he only has the 1 box and Cable modem on it.

Thanks

I got one in B&Q for €25 and did the job grand. Mine was arond the 75% range and it brought it up to 80%

It was a 12dB booster. Any tv or big hardware shop should have them. Make sure they can handle Digital TV though.
