Amplifier, Cable TV RF Broadband 8dB Gain Four Output 5-1002Mhz w/ Power Adapter

I purchased this unit to share an outdoor antenna with the several TVs I have in my house. It has worked flawlessly since it was installed. I receive about 60 channels on every TV with virtually no distortion or pixelation. It’s mounted in a watertight box outside and doesn’t seem to be bothered by the range of temperatures and humidity in the mountains of Georgia. The whole setup: antenna, cable, amplifier, hardware, and tools set me back around $200. Well worth the investment.

Really improved my OTA reception. Bought a fairly inexpensive antenna and mounted it on the roof split to 2 TVs and one FM radio with very long lines. The antenna came with an amplifier that didn't do anything and I had trouble getting any VHF channels. Removed the stock amplifier and used this as both amplifier and splitter to each device and the VHF problem is 90% solved (getting channels 2 and 12 now and 6 most of the time) and I am also getting even more UHF stations than before. Also pulling in more distant FM stations. Great buy!

Should have ordered a more powerful booster but this one will do. Didn’t pick up the local channel that I was targeting but it still works fine for the other channels

I had a strange issue with my Xfinity service where I use TIVO and cable card. On certain HD channels I would see pixelation and channel degradation to the point where it was un-watchable. I thought it was my TIVO Bolt or even the cable card which Xfinity provides but since the signal problem only affected specific channels I determined this had to be the incoming signal. So, as a last resort before calling Xfinity (ugh) I decided to try this amplifier and install where it comes into my house. I also bought new 6 foot coax cables and some 75ohm terminators to cap off any unused ports around the house as well as on this amplifier. If you don't cap the empty ports off they can act as an antenna and could result in more noise on the channels or even a visit from Comcast due to excessive broadcasts into the air. FCC requires Comcast and others to prevent this as it could interfere with other users systems. I figured for a few bucks I would just purchase a pack of 5 terminators and cap off the unused ports and avoid any issues plus do the job correctly. They simply screw on to the coax port....nothing complicated. I removed my existing splitter and installed this amplifier (which is also a splitter), a couple of terminators for unused ports and connected the incoming Comcast cable and the power adapter. This amplifier DOES REQUIRE an OUTLET nearby as it is powered to help deal with less than ideal incoming signals from Comcast (or whatever service you have). I've seen a lot of posts about this issue from many people using various services so this is NOT just a comcast issue. Keep in mind, this will boost the INCOMING SIGNAL to compensate for signal loss but it CANNOT FIX AN ALREADY BAD INCOMING SIGNAL. It will simply boost whatever is coming into your house. If the signal is low or poor for other reasons like bad cabling from their incoming box to your house then this likely won't do much other than boost a bad signal. For our issue, it was specific HD channels during evening hours when usage was likely higher on Comcast's systems and there was no indication the signal coming into our house was bad across the board. Only for a handful of channels. I don't know if Comcast can do anything about specific channel's signals or not but I didn't want to deal with them if I could avoid it as involving them is always a headache and they rarely make anything better and often create other problems in my experience. They always want to blame our cabling or router or whatever and I can do the same things their technicians would do in order to troubleshoot issues. In this case, I seem to have found the solution thanks to other postings so I wanted to detail my issue too. Ideally, it would be nice if customers could call Comcast and get them to fix it but in many posts I've seen their solution is to do exactly the same thing...install this amplifier, terminators, etc. to resolve the issues for customers. Clearly, they want to avoid having to run NEW OUTSIDE CABLING and digging up a yard and so on and I am sure most customers don't want that either unless the cabling is found to be truly bad, broken, cut, etc. Then it is worth it but for this random pixelation issue on only certain HD channels at certain times of the day this seems to resolve it. So far we have not seen any additional pixelation issues on the problem channels and our HD channels are as clear as ever. Again, buy this amplifier, a 5 or 10 pack of 75 ohms terminators to cap any unused ports in your house (i.e. where cable ports are in your rooms) as well as on the amplifier itself and make sure you have an outlet nearby to power the amplifier. The best location is where it comes into the house. Good luck!

I thought it would increase the signals a bit more than it did. I was struggling with NBC bay Area with a 68% signal on my Dish receiver and it brought it up to 70% thought it would be 75% or slightly higher. It did however stabilize the signals at all the sets

Using the signal from an attic mounted second largest outdoor classic antenna (dual UHF-VHF) from the Shack into this amp and then temporarily even through a 200' roll of Phat brand RG6 to a TV. I'll cut it all up when I can get into the attic to do it. This amp also splits that signal to four other televisions with excellent pictures on all at same time. I recommend it.

So the previous owner of the house left 4 cables drawn from the roof to a dish down to areas of the house. This amplifier seemed a good for it. I would prefer just a single output line I could split 4 ways after entering the home, but this seemed the best bang-for-buck. I used one coax cable to push the 5V power up to the aerial I put up, and 3 others to drop down. I wasn't disappointed. The signal comes in clear to all the TV's in the home. We love it because there's something special about local channels and news. So far have it mounted outside in the elements and performing good. If you're interested, I used the ClearStream 4 antenna.

One day everything was fine, the next day, no channels on any of the TV's. If lights up, so I know it is getting power, but it no signal from the antenna gets through. Remove it and hook up one TV, and everything is back to normal. This was under warranty and the seller did replace it. I had to pay shipping back, but that was still much less expensive then buying a new one. Hopefully that was a "one off" and the new one will not fail. Had to get a 2nd one of these because of a lightning strike to my house. It lasted less than a year and quit working. I would not buy these.
