    Being pretty big into video capture as a hobby, i've read in many places that the shorter the cable to the decoder box and from there to the capture device the better.

    So heres the scenario, i want to put the box literally five feet away from the disk(it its on the other side of the wall), and split (such an ugly word) the feed from the decoder box to the tv (about 20 feet away) and to the pc..(3 feet away).

    Ideally i want to be able give the feed to one exclusivly at a time so as to preserve maximum signal integraty, so the splitter device has to be of high quality, or if possible a splitter that will split the signal without any loss of quality..(presumably will need to be a powered device for this) to both points at once.

    Questions are these..

    1) Where can i get this stuff, is there a place based in Ireland (hopefully Dublin) ?

    2) What splitter and what cabling would you recommend?
