Can you use those little in-line TV signal amplifiers for a composite signal?

The amplifiers I believe you are referring to only work on RF signals. The amp you want needs to be designed to boost the composite signal, which is unmodulated. These are sometimes called "Distribution Amplifiers", like THIS one. (No endorsement, just an example.)craiggsmith wrote:Can you use those little in-line TV signal amplifiers for a composite signal?
