Review on Winegard LNA-100 Boost TV Antenna Amplifier - HDTV Signal Booster with HD Digital VHF UHF Amplification - Indoor Ultra Low Noise Amp (USB Power Supply) by Kevin Bucher

I don't have sophisticated test equipment. However, I have been studying and experimenting with radio signals for almost 50 years. In the 1980's I had a communications company that installed both VHF/UHF terrestrial antennas and satellite dishes. I currently have 3 large VHF/UHF antennas pointing in 3 different directions with 8 splitters installed in my attic. Access to 8 rooms. Each antenna has an Alphaline Super Low Noise Amplifier SEA-100 installed BEFORE passing through the first splitter. The output of the first splitter is fitted with an ultra-low noise Winegard LNA-100 boost amplifier before being output via an 8-output splitter. Very important note: I tried the Alphaline Super Low Noise Amplifier SEA-100 to boost the signal before an 8-output splitter BUT ONLY the Winegard LNA-100 Boost Ultra Low Noise Amplifier WORKS! I had good reception with over 60 channels from all TVs. But the solarium TV (50+ feet) continued to hand some channels with signals 75+ miles or more. So I set up the Alphaline Super Low Noise Amplifier SEA-100 about 25 feet or halfway up. It helped, but I still had issues on bad weather days, so I finally spent the extra money and bought a second Winegard LNA-100 Boost Ultra Low Noise Amp! Not only did this fix my weak signal issue, I get about 20 more channels, all about 100 miles away. Now also consider that TV signals going to my Channel Master DVRs go through 3 SETs of splitters before finally reaching my TVs. , but tune in to 72 channels (40 channels are 100 miles apart in Knoxville, Tennessee and Atlanta, Georgia). I understand that very few people have experience with electronics, so I have some basic advice. To receive VHF/UHF signals you must have a direct line of sight to the transmitting antenna from your antenna. Just a small hill, building, etc. can block the signal and reduce the effectiveness of both the antenna and the amplifier. So do not give an antenna or amplifier a 1 STAR if it cannot receive a signal initially.
