Aerial Signal Boosters

Need to plug in two things to aerial socket (Freeview box and PC).

The signal is fine and all channels are received, but if the PC is also connected (from the RF Out of the Freeview box opposed to using a splitter), both the Freeview box and PC struggle to find all the channels.

Would a cheapish 2 way signal booster at the aerial wallplate sort this?

    I bought a signal booster but didn't notice any difference in the signal!

    I only need it as a splitter though. I was hoping a powered one would overcome my problem.

    It may do, however it is also possible that it could make the situation worse, only real way to find out is to buy and try.

    Most decent splitters will have a small screw that changes the amplification strength. Have you already tried that?
