Review on πŸ”Š Unbeatable Amplification: The Ultimate Portable Digital Reception Powerhouse by Bernardino Suazo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The best reception is now out of work!

So I cut the cable (Fios TV) few years ago and now it's the 4th year. I bought one of these flat antennas back then. While this worked, I also had to move it around depending on the channel I wanted, although my address according to the FCC card allowed me to be in broadcast range for all my local channels (yes, I understand other things can take a hit). Regardless of whether I wanted to watch different channels or not, I had to shift things. This process was tiring for me, especially my wife who wanted to watch some of the shows on the air and refused to fiddle with the antenna. So I contacted Revain to see if I could find a better model. What led me to this device. I see that there is a new trend in design and most of them have very similar characteristics in promised reception. So I tried this device. I've been using it for a few days now and immediately noticed a massive improvement over my previous antenna and importantly they're both in the same location (inside, next to the ceiling next to the huge south facing bay window). What is in this device can therefore receive a signal much better. I have changed connection several times to see if I have no luck with a clear day and as soon as I connect an old antenna I lose 2 channels (fox and cw) and my CBS starts to flicker. This unit comes with a 36 foot cord that cannot be trimmed. So keep that in mind if you only need a few yards (you'll need to roll it up). This allowed me to route the cable much more neatly, to route my old antenna the same way I would have to add extension cables, which according to some reports reduces the signal quality (don't entirely agree, I know that signal separation causes problems). The ability to watch crystal clear HD TV without having to reposition the device. I'm even thinking about maybe running the device offsite as I have a chunk of cable for it and might get more channels (but I have everything I want today so there's no rush). Well finally it comes with a basic set of items to assemble it (screws or double sided sticky stuff but I ended up using my stash of command hooks simply because I'm used to how they work. I highly recommend you a Slightly more on quality antenna since you save a lot more by cutting the cable!Update note: FYI for outdoor planners, I've found that a non-removable amplifier requires me to make a much larger hole in the Wall of my house needs to be drilled. In order to hook this up I would like (over 1". The good news is they have a version with this [B089NFLZSD] on it. I would recommend buying this model if you are planning on using the unit outdoors or laying coaxial cables on the floors.

Pros
  • 36 feet HIGH QUALITY CABLE
Cons
  • Obsolete model
