    I would have changed the splitter first as recommenced in your last thread http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...rambled-34540/ Looks like it was just a splitter fault.

    And if you are still connecting through a faulty splitter you will still have the same problems even with the booster. Before using the booster do as you have done before.

    Take the splitter out and leave it on the direct feed for a while. If its OK then you do not need the booster just change the splitter.
