I'll give you a heads up, you won't find an amp as good as the one WOW is going to provide for $20. Most amps that customers can buy are $50+ and they are garbage.
I know; I did some research and saw that it was top of the line. The thing is, I'm not sure if I moved it before the split it would be adequate for all three TVs. Here's what they gave me:



And here's the splitter:

Well I called WOW to upgrade to Digital Value ($11 cheaper than basic analog) and asked him about the "125 foot" issue. He said that didn't matter and they'd do whatever it took to ensure I got a strong signal. I then told him specifically about the pixelation issues I get on HD channels and he said that's because the tuner in my TV is getting the local HD channels "over the air" and it's not something they guarantee. Now, I'm not sure how I can get anything OTA since I don't have an antenna hooked up to my TV but what do I know. He *did* say though that if I paid $6 a month extra I'd get an HD box with a "true" HD signal. Not sure what the difference is though. If I've got a weak signal now, what would good would a little box do unless it had an amplifier? Guess I'll talk to the tech when he comes out this Thursday.
