I have cable TV (unencrypted) in my house. The installer has put a 8.5db 2 way tap (The one below to be exact) but I only use one of the splits. http://www.zinwell.com.tw/pro_profile.php?productsid=285

However my neighbour has a 1 way tap 12db. http://www.zinwell.com.tw/pro_profile.php?productsid=284

Can anyone tell me what exactly a tap is ? (I assume some kind of amplifier/splitter or filter).

Also can anyone tell me the difference between the products ?. Would i be better installing a one way tap to my house ? would this improve the signal strength/quality ?

Also where can I buy one online ?

Cheers

It is against the rules to discuss cable on this satellite forum
