This one is very good, and not too expensive: http://www.amazon.com/8-Port-Bi-Dire...dp/B000WDR94U/

They are contractually obligated to deliver a clear picture with no visible signs of signal degradation. This includes sending a tech to your house, and potentially installing an amplifier like the one above, at no cost. This only applies of course to the channels you are paying for.
A few years ago, I ask for internet service. The installer notice a very weak signal because of the old cable and series installation. I was allowed one installation only and the technician place a new cable from the box outside the house to the internet outlet. Other installed outlets in the house can be connect by an electrician who will rewire the whole house. After the install, the technician says the signal meets 'minimum requirements' and the transmission wires to the house may have to be replace. Since the utility wires on the street are buried he sees little chance that will happen. Since then I have been getting mediocre service and power off and on the router at least once a week to get back online. I'm going to request that they put an amplifier in, if I can get them on the phone.
