Review on Boost Your HD TV Antenna Signal with Chaowei High Gain Amplifier: Up to 50 Miles Range and 25dB Gain for Crystal Clear Reception! by James Auzenne

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Didn't do much. - Accessories and Consumables

I am 35 miles from HD broadcast antennas down low. I had an RCA powered antenna in my patio at ceiling level and it worked fine except at certain times of the day. I tried another antenna highly recommended by Revain and it worked just as well (but no better) than the RCA antenna. However, the new antenna sits on the "fence" of my patio, not in the air. I tried the Chaowei High Gain TV Antenna Signal Booster on both and couldn't tell any difference. This allowed me to select more channels (which I don't watch) but the ones I have still have the same issues. I'm not sure if Booster is worth it in my situation. And it was delivered 24 hours before the actual delivery. It's frustrating.

Pros
  • DO NOT recommend using this signal booster when you are near a broadcast tower and the signals are already strong, otherwise the USB booster may cause self-oscillation and you may receive fewer channels than without it
Cons
  • Long delivery time
