This Drop Amp works great! I have a two story home with a several TV’s at the far end of the house that never had clear pictures. They have always been grainy and just never looked right. Well after talking with the cable company they told me they could come out and put an amp on the cable to boost the signal and it would cost me a service fee plus the cost of the amp which would be a total of $150 bucks. I would have thought they should have fixed it for nothing. Luckily I talked with a friend of mine who had once worked for a cable company and he told me that I could get an amp myself and recommended one of these. So I bought one and installed it myself! It took maybe ten minutes to get this thing up and running! I also found “thanks to the cable company” they had extra splitters in my cable run in the attic that was not needed “this will also degrade your signal”. Now my TVs have clear pictures and look great all for $35 bucks!
Picked this up on the strength of the reviews here. The DTV is working fairly well at my pad, but two stations are weak (drop outs), and I never could pick up one that I knew existed (58). Plugged the unit in (no more than 3 feet from the DTV converter box and immediately picked up 7 new stations. Can’t see any signal degradation either. (Zenith DTV converter box, sony vega TV, and the old style roof antenna, one that never received UHF signals well). Great little amp!
I have tried signal boosters in the past with limited success. This is the first one that works fantastically well. The improvement in picture quality is astounding.
