TV signal booster used for FM radio ?

I have a 4 way TV aerial amplifier similar to this one connected to my TV aerial and only three of the outputs are in use supplying a TV signal to three rooms.
I need to sort out an aerial for FM signal use so I was thinking of running a coax cable from the spare output on the amplifier and use it for FM radio.
I expect it should be a big improvement on the short length of thin wire that came with the equipment ( spend a few hundred on audio equipment and they give you a 10 pence bit of wire to use as an aerial :rolleyes: ) , anyone know if it will work ok or not?

It says you can connect a VHF aerial to the 2nd input so should be ok.0 -
Fine as long as you also connect an FM aerial to the second input.Frequency range UHF MHz : 470 - 862
Frequency range VHF MHz : 47 - 300:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0
