Home A/V equipment question.

I have a crappy Radio Shack 4 way distribution amp (well, make that two of them), that have annoying visual distortions that vary between the two, and that come and go. It splits a composite signal to 4 outputs. What is a good make/model of distribution amp, and where is a good place to get one? Most of the non-cheapo ones I'm finding are deep in the triple digit range. Hell, I only have a $190 TV, I don't want to blow $300 on a device to split the output.

Channel Master

Look about 1/2 way down or so

Those are RF. I'm looking for composite. RF ones are easy to come by.

What is your source?

found this but it's in England

 

[Demon-Xanth]

I have a PC (TV out), PS2, Gamecube, Dreamcast, and VCR going into a 5 to 1 switch box, and that goes into the distribution amp, and that leads into the VCR, TV, stereo, and another PC (tuner card)

woowoo: those are video only (and I'd need converter plugs)

Whats a converter plug?
Do you mean RCA to BNC adaptor?

Yeah, standard composite is what I have (the red, white, and yellow jacks)
