How many outlets can I connect to my Epic TV Cable service?

All Epic Touch cable services make provisions for as many as 4 outlets.
Extra (more than 4) can be added with the addition of a device called a CATV broadband Amplifier. This unit is available at electronic supply stores (Radio Shack or other source). The unit is very inexpensive due to current technology.

It should be emphasized that attention to cable signal levels is required in order to prevent signal overload at the television receiver. Although there is no harmful damage  to the equipment,  the picture quality may be affected greatly by signals that are over amplified.  Amplifiers should be the subject of consultation with our technicians before they are installed by customers in order to maintain signal quality in all cases.  Amplfiers should be located as close as possible to the cable entrance cable and do require some form of AC power in order to work. A failed amplifier will cause picture to be extremely snowy or no signal at all depending on the design of the amplifier.
