[mythtvnz] DVB-T splitter/amplifier recommendations

[James Gray]

Start with http://www.freeviewshop.co.nz/satellite-terrestrial-splitter-p-55.html
...

get some RG-6 and a few F type connectors (avoid screw type if you can
get your hands on a suitable tool for hex or (preferably) radial or
compression crimp plugs, otherwise screw type will do), and a couple
of F-type to Belling Lee adaptors. I think you can also buy premade
F-type RG-6 leads.

Add an amplifier if you have trouble, but an amplifier will only ever
compensate for gain structure issues (eg cable from antenna too long,
too many splits, signal from antenna present but below reception
threshold)... Adding one where it's not needed will only ever cause
problems. Make sure your antenna setup is appropriate too
