Try Argos - I use a cheap multiway amplifier with one of my DVB boxes
(even using passthrough between cards) and experience no problems. I
don't have an external aerial (loft mounted digital aerial) so am
quite happy this I manage to get all DVB channels as it is!

My last system was based on FC4 - I just stuck two V-Stream DVB Xpert
cards (cx88_dvb driver) in the system and was up and running in
minutes.
