Hmmm... well.... to put this into perspective... the PVR-350 and PVR-500 are both coming off of the same splitter... and my PVR-500 signal is awesome... so I hooked the PVR-500 to the cable source as far back as I could... and while it looks a little better... it's still VERY bad... it's hard to imagine that it's a signal thing... consider how good the PVR-350 looks...
<br><br>I'll pickup a cheap amplifier... but I'm getting the feeling this won't help.... is there anything else I can check?<br><br>Thanks.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/4/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Michael T. Dean
