I have analog cable and I seperated a single signal to four TV sets. I have one 61" TV that is high definition and that TV signal is weak, is it better to install another cable line or buy an upconverter?

Radio Shack sells a cable amp for about $30.00 and you install it at the point of origin before the splitter. I have mine split to 5 locations and this made a tremendous improvement in the picture quality for me.

If you only have a week signal on one line then you either have a bad cable (unscrew it and look at the ends, make sure that no wire from the outer braided shield isnt touching the inner solid core), a cheap cable (the ones with the ends molded onto them are crap in my opinion), or you are running a splitter off a splitter (dont do that, get a splitter big enough to handle the number of outputs you need and make sure is handles enough Mhz for your cable system. Last I checked 1Ghz was the highest it went but that was 5 years ago.). Heres a really good HDTV website, but its mostly for over the air signals.

i would install another cable to get the best out of your HD display, upconverting analogue to HD is waste of time unless you have no other option.
