Improve my signal in additional rooms?

    I have a skybox in my main room and a magic eye in master bedroom that works fine.

    I then have an old BBC analogue aerial and sky hooked up to a power booster that sends a good analogue picture but poor quality skybox signal to all of the other 3 bedrooms tvs. The installer explained many years ago that the sky signal had to be tones down in order for the analogue picture to be ok,

    I see this item for sale http://cgi.ebay.ie/4WAY-SPLITTER-DBOX-NTL-DIGITAL-CABLE-SATELLITE-TV_W0QQitemZ250066829094QQihZ015QQcategoryZ4693QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem and was just wondering do you think it would improve the skybox reception in the bedrooms?

    I don't quite follow what your set-up consists of, ie. how your "aerial and sky is connected to a power booster".

    In any case, you must make sure your bbc aerial feed is plugged onto the "aerial in" on the sky box, "rf out 1" goes to your main tv, "rf out 2" should really go to a distribution box.

    The box in the link isn't ideal - you may just get away with it if the bbc channels are very strong, otherwise you will need a special sky distribution amplifier.
