Re: amplifier

Went down this route a couple of years back and TBH it not only did nothing for me but made matters even worse. I still have it lying around somewhere and you are welcome to it if you live nearby.

Re: amplifier

An amplifier will give you increased signal strength and increased noise but will not increase the quality of the signal - and that is what you really want! Save your money and have a bigger dish, ensure that it's perfectly lined up and then you will see improvements.

Re: amplifier

If your needing an inline amp then there is only 2 reasons for using one. 1, you have a clone dreambox with crap tuner or 2, your whole setup needs adjusting.

As the guys have already posted not worth the hassle.
