4 PORT CABLE TV / HDTV / DIGITAL AMPLIFIER INTERNET MODEM SIGNAL BOOSTER INTERNET AMP
Pulled amp into over the air antenna and got no better reception on both HD and regular channels. Tried on two different tv’s in two different areas of the house. I will try it on Cable signal and revise my comment. I would not waste the money if you are just using this on a regular antenna.

I’ve tried the GE RF amplifier from Home Depot and it is pure garbage. The Walmart RCA flat antenna comes with an amplifier is recommend at the $30 price point.
My Silicon Dust HDTV Tuner measures the antenna signal strength and signal QUALITY.
So the measure measured (and visually confirmed) system consists of the larger $40 flat RCA antenna (that Walmart used to sell without an amplifier) and this 4 port HDTV amplifier.
Both the signal quality and strength measure 10 points higher than the $30 Walmart combination. Superb engineering as the picture quality is crystal clear. I live about 25 miles from the broadcast antenna’s and have the antenna and this splitter located up in the attic. My signal strength and QUALITY is typically in the high 90s!
For best antenna positioning, my wife read the reading off for signal QUALITY using our cell phones while I positioned the antenna in the attic. A ten minute job while noticing that even a few inches can make a large difference.
Incidentally I use the Dish PAL DVR and record the FREE Off-The-Air(OTA) broadcasts. No need to pay for cable, satellite, or Tivo subscriptions – just as it used to be during the analog broadcast days with VHS. Some innovative stations are even broadcasting HD movies, just like it used to be. Very pleased!

I read the other reviews posted and indeed it does what it says. In my case, I have a couple of TVs, one of them an HD in a bungalow separated from my house. I ran a 100 ft coax cable to the bungalow and pretty much got what I expected…lots of snow no HD. I had tried one of the Radio Shack amps but it didn’t do anything but amplify the snow and still no HD. With this amp, I attached the 100 ft cable to one of the ports and attached the power (it’s even daisy chained on a surge protector)and BAM…HD!! I’m very happy with this. It’s got good solid construction for outside or in my case, under the house installation.

I was running my cable with three splitters and it was really impacting the picture. This little device eliminated all of the splitters and noticeably improved the picture. I’ve got the cable modem cable going through the amplifier too. Haven’t noticed a change there, but it wasn’t sluggish to begin with. The amplifier came with clear instructions and was very easy to install.

After having problems all my life with these AMPS i have hit gold with this one.It has preformed well and cleared up all my problems with snow and picture breakup.It has handled all four TVS,including the two high DEFS.i have.Cable had told me the four way splitter should work and handle all four sets.It’s a shame they are the only game in town.I strongly recommend this unit,and at 34.00 it’s a steal.Only one problem now is when they see all the five star reviews they will raise the price.Update 9-2-08 bang all of a sudden their out of stock and they don’t know when or if they will be back.It working so well i wanted an extra one to have around.
