Review on πŸ”Š High-performance Amplifier: Cable TV RF Broadband with 8dB Gain, Four Output, 5-1002Mhz - Includes Power Adapter by Justin Pavelko

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Boosts our signal enough to go from 42 channels to 85.

My antenna is in the attic and this amplifier is in the electrical box in the house. By just hooking up the antenna to a TV, I got 42 channels. I liked it. Since we are cutting the cord I wanted to send a signal to all of our outlets so I bought this amp. It's been a month and it's working great. We have 4 different TVs and we have 85 to 97 channels - depending on the TV. I haven't taken the device home from work (yet) to measure actual gain. Once this pandemic subsides and the office reopens, I will update the rating with real numbers. So far I am very happy with this amp. If you are not using all of the outputs, add 75 ohm terminators to the unused outputs. Your performance will suffer if you don't do this, and the amp may degrade (I won't test that - I like the amp the way it is). add 75 ohm terminators to unused outputs.
