I have recently installed a new aerial mega booster with a 1 in 4 out amplifier, it comes with a 12v signal booster which has to power it, my question is I'm feeding 4 TVs do i need to signal boost each cable individually?! As on the booster its only got 1 input from amplifier on the aerial, and 1 output to the tv regards Joel
 
There is an amplifier mounted on the aeiral its self which has 1 input from the aeiral, and 4 output ports for 4 TVs off of it, the kit came with a signal booster which only has 1 input from the amplifier and 1 output to the tv its self, this is my kit Toolstation
 
What I'm wanting to know is does each of the 4 output cables from the amplifier requires its own signal booster, I'm in a bad signal area too
 
The amplifier is the 4 way box on the Aerial and the other is the power supply for the amp on the aerial.
Then the TV's plug into the amp and get 10db per channel. I would have guessed it would come with wiring instructions.
although if you are in a really poor signal area then I wouldn't expect amazing results as it does say for moderate signal areas.
How are you powering it?
 
230v socket or a spur I'm going to install in the loft, haven't tried or installed the aerial yet though, so i only need to power the amp and each line will be uprated anyway. ?
 
This type of amp should be more than sufficient to distribute to 4 tv's.

With digital it could be your aerial may need replacing. Only a local TV aerial chap withal signal reader can tell you that.

I'm putting a ring main down the stud walls at height anyway along with the co ax sockets so will be putting a socket in the loft anyway Richard
 
Yeah the amplifier on the aerial is the bit that amplifies the signal, the other bit is just the supply transformer for it.
so power in will give you 4 amplified outlets.
