Review on πŸ“Ί GE Outdoor TV Antenna Amplifier Low Noise Signal Booster Clears Pixelated Low-Strength Channels HD TV Digital VHF UHF Mounting Hardware Included Coax Connections Black 42179 by Jaime Bustamante

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Failed after 2 days

Update: Amplifier worked fine for 2 days then failed. I can use a PCT distribution amplifier or channel master. My house is 20-35 miles from the transmit antennas and I have an RCA Yagi in the attic about 20 feet off the ground. roof tiles. I used a 4 port PCT distribution amplifier that failed after 5 years. Installed an old DirecTV 4-way splitter as a workaround, but the signal was weak and some channels were pixelated or gone. I installed a GE amplifier in front of the splitter and now the reception is better than with the PCT setting. Many stations are full. The DirecTV splitter has a power pass-through that allowed me to place the PSU and PSU at the bottom where it's cooler. I am very happy with this little amp. Incidentally, the DirecTV splitter is available from Revain, B00BW60R68. Cheap and good reviews. Be sure to install 75 ohm terminators on unused ports.
