    Signal Boosters

    Do you guys know any shops/stores that sell signal boosters that I can use on the dreambox? (as I dont want to buy online). Preferably the yellow brick konig one...

    Get off ebay you'll be fine, don't know any shops that do the konigs there are others available like skywonder who do a 3 way signal booster that has a bi-directional output for broadband or CC box. But most peeps prefer Konigs

                it says aerial booster, you sure it will work with my dreambox? I thought it was meant for digital tv through an aerial? Also it has coaxial connections, so I assume it cant go before the splitter right?

                both say for satellite signals. Would they still work for cable signals?

                  If you read the details it says
                  "For digital and analogue TV's and DAB radios.
                  Gain adjustment up to 20db"
                  It goes between the splitter and box and you can get the rf adaptors from b&q 98p

                    Thanks Fergal, It's cool mate have used them myself not as good as konig but will boost signal slightly and as I said if it don't work they have a money back guarantee so you can't go wrong
