THE CIMPLE CO - 24db Distribution Amplifier | Digital TV Antenna Booster Signal Amplifier, Adjustable Boost/Gain, NTSC, ATSC, FM, UHF, VHF - 1000 MHz - Includes RG6 Coaxial Cable

جيد

I was using an 18dB amp that came with an external antenna, basic plastic thing, that seemed boastful at 18dB, it was pretty weak. Temporarily using this antenna indoors for testing as I set up my new house. Figuring if it can do well inside, it will almost certainly do better when I mount it high up outside. This amp being 6 dB more at 24dB did the trick for FM signal. Cleared up the bits of static in the signal right away and I picked up a couple stations that would not lock on stereo loud and clear. I have it cranked all the way, but when I backed it off a bit, signal was still good. Have not used this one yet for HDTV/Off air channels, but original amp actually handled this frequency segment well enough, it was more the FM Radio signals I was trying to boost. Radio signal can be tricky, radios with built in antennas placed upstairs in one corner of the house are all good, downstairs in the opposite corner...static, weak, won't grab some stations at all. I went around with a battery powered radio outside and inside and found the sweet spot locations, but it's really about the number of walls, etc. between the radio and the tower transmitter out there. I live in a more remote area now and am sort of old school, I like having good old FM radio available for NPR and any radio stations I can pick up. This did the trick. I'm using apps more on smart TV's for some stuff...still wanted good strong FM/TV antenna infrastructure at the ready. I'm considering adding a second amp in line to boost the heck out of the signal, probably don't not need it. Previous owner had satellite TV (shudder, ripped that out immediately), so in house cable distribution is all over the place in virtually every room. Will take advantage of this for TV/Radio now as it's any easy swap/add. Some negative reviews here had me scratching my head, sounded like they might have hooked it up wrong or have a weak antenna/poor placement? Or it could be defective I suppose, but there is not much to fail with this basic amp. This amp does appear to have every bit of the power described. I've tried it with a smaller window mount antenna and a large modular exterior antenna (again temporarily inside), both had good to great results respectively. General rules of thumb: -Place an amp as close to the antenna as possible, this can make a big difference. If you place it way down stream of long meandering wire runs and splitters, might not perform as well. -Some even mount the amp right to the antenna pole outside and run power to it or an amp is integrated in the antenna. If you are within about 20 feet to the amp from antenna, should be all good. -You can stack amps in line, to push that dB power up there, although I doubt most people will need this. -If you are using existing coaxial cable TV infrastructure (and you are using cable TV boxes still over smart TV apps), caution when loading up amps in line with it, generally it's fine to share signals here, but too much can interfere with one signal or the other. Plus if you have cable TV, you probably don't need an off air antenna for HDTV/Local channels anyway. -Survey around the house for best antenna placement. -Invest in a quality antenna, remote steerable ones are really cool for dialing this in.

Good signal booster- the adjustable gain control is a nice feature but since we are in a fringe area I set it to maximum. You still need a good antenna pointed correctly for best results. It helped our large TV which doesn’t have a very sensitive tuner, but did nothing for our small one that does have a sensitive tuner.

Me funcionó muy bien

Works Great! I was having problems with my old TiVo Romeo's weak signal. In the 50, which is bad. This brought those into the mid 60s. My other channels were in the low 70s are now in the mid 80s. Perfecto! Not too weak, not too strong. Yay!!! This won't solve every problem, but a weak signal is deadly. My old TiVo would simply stop recording anything at all. No warning or obvious errors. Just missing programming. Ugh!
