The signal level into the house is anywhere between +15dBmv to -15dBmV per channel and there are about 110 channels in a fully loaded cable system. These signals will generate CSO, CTB, and XM through your amp which will distort your signal. Look on the Mini Circuit's website for their forward cable amp design.
