[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 322576, member: 6969"] What you have is known as a "distribution amplifier" It's purpose is not to boost a weak signal, but to amplify it enough so it can feed several sets with the same level of signal you would get from the aerial feeding directly to one set. I would leave it there, and connect one of the presently unused outputs to the new tv in the new room. I don't bother with "tv" coax any more, I always use "satellite" coax such as WF 100, RG6 etc, much better quality than old tv coax and not particularly expensive, Pretty much all of the tv wall plate outlets are rubbish, so not a lot to choose between them. Just get one that matches your sockets and light switches. As for connectors, the cheap "contractor" all metal aerial plugs and sockets are the best. Avoid aerial plugs and sockets that use plastic bits. [/QUOTE]
