Is it possible to damage a television by using s coax signal amplifier
when one is not needed?
What is the tolerance of a television for recieveing an inconing signal?

NO damage.... but if the cable signal is too strong the picture will just
get worse and the adjacent channels will start interfering with each other.
Boosting the signal to compensate for splits and long runs is obviously
warranted..... but it is a waste of time to boost a already proper signal
strength thinking you will get a better picture.

Agreed! Also, if you are going to boost it, try to do so at the shortest
length from the main coning into the residence. However, do not try to put
it in series with your cable modem, it just does not work! The modem
requires direct connect to the outside cable infrustructure to operate in
its bi-lateral modes. Receive and send.

Unless something is horribly wrong with the amplifier it can not damage
your television. Adding unneccessay amplification will just cause a
degradation in cable reception quality.
If in doubt about the signal strength of your cable signal you should
call your cable company to come and look at what you think is an
inadequate picture. They can then measure the signal strength with a
special signal strength meter..... just a regular test meter can not
do the job.
If you handle this as a complaint they will come out and verify that
your television is getting the signal you are paying for.
