hey all... i got 2 shaw HD boxes..one is hooked up to the main TV in the living area..and another i JUST got to hook up to a TV in the bedroom. NOW, thing is.. the bedroom TV is connected via a 25ft coax cable.. which 'apparently' degrades the signal to the HD box and so i get that error msg:

"please wait..program will load shortly.. error code s00as"..something along that lines.. Shaw said they would send out a tech to attempt to 'boost' the signal to that line but their techs are heavily backlogged.

Soo.. is there something that can be purchased to boost the signal being sent over the cable? this line is not split at all.. it's just a long cable from outlet to HD box.
