if the fuzzy tv channels were the result of low level outside your house, then the amp is a temp solution until the outside levels are adjusted. there is a chance that when they are adjusted, the amp could cause internet issues (max out receive levels). the amps themselves are designed for 2 way communication, so i doubt they would inherently cause any kind of problem. |

| Usually an amp is a last effort. If the signal is bad it usual means something else like a degraded drop that cant be replaced right away, or maybe you have so many outlets in your house that the needed signal is not enough (rather then increasing the signal outside and messing things up for a lot of people they just give you an amp)
There are lots of reason to give you an amp and not to, depends on the situation. On a side not IF you do get fuzzy channels again or the internet drops out the amp probably died (it happens) if this does happen bypass the amp until Shaw can come out and replace it, but unplug it first or you could get a good shock. |
