I have a major problem with my video distribution. All the channels look horrible with snow and lines and I don't receive channels 1 - 7. I changed the splitter outside to a better one and put an inline amplifier with gain control. The amplifier did help to view more channels. Without the amplifier almost all the channels are not visible, with severe snow. The distance from the cable box outside to the distribution panel is about 40 feet and the longest run from the distribution panel is about 50 feet. All wiring is shielded RG-6. Do I need to upgrade to a higher powered amplifier? If so, what brand.
I was looking at the Chanel Vision C-0135
