Probably PF100 is your best option though don't use it to extend the existing cable from the splitter, instead use it to replace the cable.

Replace All cable in the whole house?
There is a short fly lead (approx 20cm) from the wall socket to the splitter. Then 3 outs.
- travels 15-20m to the cable modem,
- 20m to downstairs (the cable I'm talking about in this post),
- and a short 0.75m cable to where the current V+HD Box is positioned.
We are going to move the box from its current position to reside at the end of the 20m cable.
As mentioned, with the cable that is in place and NO splitter at the wall, the box will only just about work, but not fully. The cable modem is fine upstairs, so I might take the box upstairs and see how it behaves. The cable runs are similar in length.
Am I right in thinking that RG6 cable still gives slightly higher losses (even at the 600--700 MHz) region than 100 type cable?
Came across this stuff - hopefully better than what's in at the mo -
