Fixed channels that I like to watch

I didn't collect it, it just helped, but it was easy and quick. We live in the country and I haven't hooked up satellite internet to our Roku TVs yet and I really enjoy watching the channel set which includes NBC, MeTV and Mystery and Crime and they get interrupted and cut off a lot, especially in bad weather, but also in good weather days like today. Before my roommate installed this amp, all channels were completely dark. There was no digital divide at all that night, that really helped! Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • A lot of positive emotions
Cons
  • stupid

Excellent TV antenna product

I had problems with the outside antenna signal which was intermittently lost. I need a signal booster so I can watch TV channels without signal loss. I decided to try this product and I am so glad I bought this product. It was easy to install. I rescanned my TV and got more channels than ever with a stronger signal. I live in a low lying city with higher terrain around us but this product has worked great. I also had a long coax cable from the roof antenna through a splitter to the basement and

New channels found!

As others have said, the reviews posted here aren't just for pro amps. Based on some of the best reviews on the amp I decided to give it a try and bought a Revain which has been put to very good use. Although the packaging was open and no instructions were included, the amp and parts appeared intact. I watched their videos and figured out the installation easily. I placed the amplifier on top of a directional antenna on the roof and hooked up the power in my basement between the TV antenna coax

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

It's great if you understand the installation.

A recent thunderstorm burned the old amplifier on our antenna so it was installed where the antenna input went in to avoid working 20 feet above the roof. An old fried amplifier remained attached to the antenna; The internal power supply and power entry key have been replaced with this product. The instructions were vague, but suggested (without mentioning it) some sort of male-to-male connection from the power supply key to the amp. In this case a rigid male-male connection fitting was usedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Damaged like everything before

  • May

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 theโ€ฆ

  • Delivery was very fast

Works great with my GE loft antenna and Fire Recast

It was a special sauce that knocked out my Fire Recast setup. I took a GE loft antenna and pointed it straight at the TV, the signal was good enough so I got a converted DVR but I got problems with weak signal on almost every channel. A lot of what I've read made it seem like the remake wouldn't work well with boosted antenna signals, but this amp had pretty good reviews, so I decided to roll the dice as soon as it became available (because it's not always available is). and it looks like it'sโ€ฆ

Already dead upon arrival! for antennas

amplifier was purchased with a GE antenna. First, they didn't take it as a kit. Get two separate charges. The price stayed the same, so it goes. Package was not shipped as a FedEx package that delivered one Revain package to another. They arrived a few hours apart. It doesn't really matter. The antenna works great. Open the amp box and what do I find? I find that the box is open and everything has already been opened and handed over. This item is now being sold as new and purchased as new. Aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • WEATHERPROOF DESIGN. The rugged design is designed for outdoor installation and placement in the best location to minimize interference from building materials and walls. This amplifier can be used on a pole, on a wall or indoors.

Ideal for reducing channel count

I did some research and bought a few antennas before settling on the GE Pro outdoor/loft antenna that came with the amplifier. I've read 1 star reviews but there are always complaints so I checked out most of them instead. Due to the pandemic I received the antenna earlier (necessary) and the amplifier after 2.5 weeks. I immediately installed the antenna in the attic during a heavy thunderstorm and had 60 channels and no picture problems, even with thunderstorms and streaming on AirTV. In moreโ€ฆ

Pros
  • EASY TO INSTALL - Includes mesh insert, power adapter, zip ties (4), rubber boot (2), and clear, easy-to-read owner's manual and installation guide.
Cons
  • Something else

Simply the most advanced preamp money can buy

Over the last few years I have owned and used the most famous amps on the market: Winegard LNA-200, RCA TVPRAMP1Z, Channel Master Titan and an old Archer variable gain. Some of them had a selectable FM trap. Be an engineer; I fully understood the location of the antenna, gain setting, components used, etc. When it comes to digital broadcasting, we deal with two parameters: signal strength (power) and signal quality. In my place (with the various amps mentioned above); I had no problems with the
