mic,

your description suggests that the cable lead in wire is leaking the good
cable wit the radiated crapo outside so try better cable..
then if no better,


add the amplifier of your choice in front of all splutters,, gain up front
is way better than gain in the back end

I have an ati tv wonder card and want to improve the signal. I have a so
so
picture on all channels. There is no snow but the picture is not clear
either. This is a problem I experience with some tv's also. Are there any
suitable cable tv amps that would help? I have a cable modem also so I
can't
use a normal catv amp. Do you think my catv provider (comcast) would
provide
an amp free of charge? (yea right)
