Review on πŸ“‘ Antennas Direct SM200 HD Digital Signal Booster by Katie Pearce

Revainrating 1 out of 5

No rooftop help for me

I've never been able to get this article on aligning a rooftop antenna to work. I bought an RCA roof antenna to mount to an existing satellite dish mount (the antenna was removed but used the mount as it was already permanently attached to the roof and protected from water). I've never been able to get this to count a signal, even after a few 360 rotations. The Power LED came on and stayed on. I know the device is receiving something because it was near the cable modem (no cables connected) and the lights came on and got progressively stronger as I moved it closer to the cable modem. although it's no use to me. The TV received signals and displayed channels when routed appropriately, but I was never able to optimize the signal strength until I used the signal strength meter available in the TV menu. I only had to walk up and down a few flights of stairs and finally found a second person saying the signal strength when I changed direction a bit (which was the original reason I bought this item - to avoid tripping up the stairs ). .
