Never had a duff one and I've only ever bought at car boots & garage
sales and not always branded. They seem pretty long lasting things.

Argos or ebay?

You have a TV amp that can block soap operas and the Jeremy Kyle show?

No. I have a brain that does that.

Do you really mean an aerial amplifier - or just a distribution amp that
splits the aerial into several outputs with no loss?

most dist amps have a small amount of gain 3-6dB

They do, but not really enough for where a aerial amplifier is actually
needed.

It makes it easier to give an accurate answer if you understand what the
question means. ;-)

It'll need some gain. He's getting a used philex 6 way amp/distribution thing he's been offered at a very good price, hopefully it'll do the trick. 9dB gain per output.

As maybe but I'm sure as Bill Wright will tell you gain where the aerial
receives the wanted signal is the gain that really matters.

Distribution amps are just that, amps to overcome the splitting losses
and the cable loss from the amp to each outlet.....
