Apologies if this is the wrong forum! I receive digital tv through a "digital" ariel to a set top box, can i split this signal to two or more set top boxes??, if so what effect will the splitter have on reception ?? I,ve used splitters on analogue but don,t know if it will work on digital regards dave  | ||

Moved thread to appropriate section. Llew

Not advisable to have a 'set top' version if your digital signals are on the weak side. Llew

My System: 43cm Dish, Sky Plus V2, Thomson DSI6210 Sky+160, Thomson DSI4214, FRACARRO PENTA 85cm, Invacom Twin, Moteck SG2100a H-H DiSEqC Motor, TF5000CI, TM-5200D, Sling Media, Rover ST-4, Rover SDM-1s, 57E to 58W, Tecatel 1.35m fixed on 28e, Pace D5430-N | You can get a 4 way version of a pre-amplifier rather than use a splitter. This will require a 12V line feed. Amp goes in main aerial feed, power unit can power on any leg of the amplifier. Avoid splitters as you get a loss on them unless you have a massive amount of DVB-T signal

Blog Entries: 3 My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum. | Easier to use an active splitter, use the one satelliteman suggests, it can be powered from any one of the TV points.
