Setting up digiboxes in three bedrooms

A few months ago I had my house re-wired and while it was being done I had tv aerial sockets fitted into each bedroom.
Each of these sockets has enough cable attatched to bring them all together near a newly installed power point with a view to attatching them to an amplifier.

My question is

Will it be possible to link up each digibox (3 of them) to the amp and run them off just one loft aerial. If this is possible (considering I am looking for a powered amp) what amplifier would you good people out there suggest I use.

Thanks Neil

Hi aneray, I have 5 TVs running off 1 aerial some with digiboxes, some have built in freeview and they all work fine. I bought my booster in B&Q around �30. Where I live in Devon it's all Digital now. We did have poor pictures on some of the TVs before the switchover but now much better picture. I had someone to fit new aerial as 1 we had was ancient and he told me that what I had, ie good booster should work ok. He did say though that to try and keep joins in the coaxial to a minimum as the signal can be lost through these and instead of putting the new coaxial into the wall mounted box we did have he connected it straight to the booster to make it 1 less join. Hope this is of help.

Thanks for your reply. It has been a tremendous help. I too live in the South West (Camborne,Cornwall) so knowing that the digital signal has now been boosted, I will pop up to B & Q and buy the same.

Thanks once again
