Using to feed digital cable to 6 rooms and broadband - 1 input feeds HT, FR, 4 BRs, and cable modem. In a recent service call by the cable company, the tech complimented on how excellent the signal was coming from the amp, as indicated on his tool. Would highly recommend over cheap passive splitters.

I was feeding my comcast digital box and 3 PC tuner cards. It worked great for 3 weeks and then wouldn't power up any longer. I noticed on the day before it died that a progam recorded on Win MCE was very noisy. Next day.......dead. They are slow to replace a product and ship back to you Fedex ground from South Carolina. That takes 5-7 business days. So the turn around will be over 2 weeks. What worries me is that the tech ask me to do some odd things to prove it was dead. Not use it close to a plasma TV. Not have all the outputs used. So I am concerned now that this amp is touchy and not up to powering the 8 outputs is has.
I will report back when I get the replacement unit.

I would have rated this thing higher but neither I nor Channel Plus Support could tell me how to make it work. It's a great idea -- split your main signal into eight isolated signals with no splitter loss and get rid of all of those old 2-way splitters. Unfortunately, I could not get anything usable to pass through the Channel Plus Bidirectional Distribution Amplifier. I suspect that my incoming cable signal was overloading the amplifier input, but have no way to measure or test the results except to watch the TV, which got sound, but no picture. I did reduce the input level by running it through a 2-way splitter to the Channel Plus, but no change. Customer support asked me to "cold boot" my set top box and my cable modem after connecting to the distribution system, which I did, and they never responded after I reported negative results. I guess I was beyond helping.
