    Have a cable coming from the back of my NTL Digital box to the tv.

    Whats the best way to split this multiple times? A 4/8-way box? Multiple two way splitters?

    Anyone recommend good quality products?

    You should be able to buy the same quality splitters as ntl use in Maplins Off parnell st or at the blanchardstown center. Use the kind that you screw the cable into rather than plug into. Splitting it 4 ways at the source is your best bet.

    do it in one go, not multiple ones back to back - that way you'll get less noise.
    avoid the stuff you get in woodies/b&q etc - it'll introduce too much noise.
    We use "Global Communications" stuff here in work.... expensive though
    edit : sorry not so expensive actually
    found this for example
    SPLITWB4PF for a 4 way passive wideband splitter for 10.18 sterling on their website: http://www.globalcom.co.uk/acatalog/Splitters.html
    here's another one that you can get in Maplin

    about a tenner sterling also.

    Thats fantastic, thanks a million.

    I was going to go out to B&Q and buy one of those plug in ones (booster) but didn't think they would be up to much.
