I've no idea what the above means, but on Phil's recommendation I bought a
Global Comms F180 distribution amp and will floow Keith's suggestion of
first routing the aerial through the TiVo's and then through the DA to
distribute it to the other rooms.  At what sort of length should I start to
worry about cross interference if I need to run 2 ct100 cables in parallel
to the same destination?

Q.
