Sorry for the elementary level of this question, especially if it had been
asked before in this newsgroup...:

I get at home a standard cable TV signal, which I'd like to split among
various TV receivers.  (Actually, the signal may also originate at my VCR, and
goes through a switch box, but that's not relevant.)  If I just use a
splitter, the signal seems to be too weak.  I bought an amplifier (10db, if I
recall right) from Radio Shack some time ago, but that didn't seem to help
much.  Any suggestions?  (The setup is such that the signal that comes into my
house eventually gets split into about 6-8 coaxial cables, some going into
TV's, other to the VCR, and some to outlets that I installed for future use.)

(By the way, by "suggestions" I mean relative inexpensive off-the-shelf
gadgets, or at least something that I could put together with little effort.)

Thanks in advance,
