Sue Archambault: Works great

D. Jenkins: I bought this to replace an identical one that had failed on one of the 4 channels after 7 years. It had operated flawlessly after being "on" 24 hours per day for the entire period. Compared to the price of satellite or cable, antennae TV is the only sane solution.

Thomas Tobin: My mother-in-law just cut the cord to cable, so I set her up similar to my wife’s and my setup. Started with a nice antenna (Winegard HD7694P) in the attic of her one story house. 42 channels detected - not bad, although some channels occasionally pixelate on her living room tv (where she watches tv 99% of time). Ordered the four port CM 3414, but before installing I wanted to do some testing, so I picked a room with the longest coax run (25’ of RG59 from the antenna to a 1:4 coax splitter, ~50’ of RG6 to the wall jack, and then 25’ of RG59 to the TV). Tuned to a weak channel that was pixelating badly. First, I was able to replace the 25’ RG59 cable between the antenna and the splitter with a 15’ RG6 cable. Based on the specs of these two cables, this should have cut the signal loss over this segment by more than half. Sure enough, the pixelation was almost gone and when I rescanned I picked up 5 additional channels. Next I replaced the signal splitter with the CM 3414. Pixelation gone and when I rescanned I picked up 9 more channels for a total of 56. Nice!

James H.: When I first installed my OTA antenna, I already had the signal going to two TVs and got reception of 37 channels. According to TVFool, I got all the nearby signals that I was aiming for (CN Tower and Buffalo broadcasts), but not two Hamilton stations. When I split this into three TVs, I lost most of the Buffalo stations due to weakened signals.

To resolve this issue, I got the 4-way distribution amplifier from Channel Master and hooked up the three TVs, leaving the fourth port unused (on a side note, I am using the pre-existing coax setup from my long-ago cable TV provider housed in an outside plastic case to pull in the OTA signal).

The net result of this was that I got all of my stations back, and I got the two Hamilton stations too! So the Hamilton stations were likely too weak when I split it into two, but were restored when I used the distribution amplifier.

The amplifier itself is sturdy and heavy with a smooth painted finish, so it would last even if it were completely exposed to the elements. I love that the input power is provided through a coax cable because you can use your existing coax cable installation to provide power to the...

Q'master: Like-everything
Dislike-the power plug takes up a plug and a half if you're using one of those 6 plugs-into-2-wall-sockets type of plug.

Got this 2 port out booster unit as I just "cut the cable" . Hooked it up this afternoon. Main floor tv (where my wife watches) is closest to the exterior antenna and she got 8 channels without this booster.

With it, total went to 30 channels. Only2 are somewhat pixelated (can be corrected adjusting the antenna).

With my tv (basement, of course) it is hooked up to the same antenna (just reversed the antenna channel feed through the existing cables in the wall). Before the booster, I was lucky to get 5 channels.

With the booster-->15 channels. And the ones I don't get I don't really care about (for example, 3 shopping channels. Really, they need 3?)

ANYWAYS, this is a fantastic option to get additional channels. When scanning for channels, the tv always said it could "see" 30 but I only ever actually got 5 or 6. Same on upstairs tv.

Well worth the investment IMO.

Cliente de Amazon: Tengo el servicio básico de televisión por cable y suele llegar débil la señal de los canales, y siempre se ven con estática o como si se encimara un canal sobre otro (se ven imágenes opacas de un canal en otro canal), por ello decidí comprar este amplificador de señal y realmente mejoro la calidad de la señal, ahora se ve sin la estática y sin imágenes encimadas, sin embargo, para que funcione el Amplificador se debe mantener todo el tiempo conectado a la luz eléctrica porque si se desconecta la señal se ve mal y con mucha estática pero cuando se conecta se ve muy bien, ademas no afecta el servicio de Internet por el contrario parece ser que ligeramente lo mejora un poco (el servicio de Internet es por cable). Si tienes interés en mejorar tu señal de televisión sin afectar tu Internet por cable considera comprar este producto, porque realmente es útil y funcional como Amplificador.

Ventajas:
-Mejora la Señal de Televisión (la Amplifica y se ve mejor la imagen del canal)
-No hay perdida en la señal de Televisión o Internet por cable y ligeramente mejora esta ultima un poco (No es un divisor/splitter por lo que no disminuye la...

Ranjit: I am using it to boost then YOU Broadband RF cable signal before installation my broadband internet connection was very bad and use to get disconnected frequently cable modem hated specifically near the RF cable connector. On installing this product now I get 4 to 5 mbps uplink and downlink speed and no disconnection problem and no cable modem hating problem.

Mad Doggerel: This device is nice and heavy, with screw holes that let you bolt it to something. The screw holes are too small to accommodate standard drywall screws, which is kind of dumb. I have it screwed to a 2x4 in my attic, which is where the HDTV antenna is.

The power cord is only 6 ft. long, so look at your setup before you decide. The power cord APPEARS to be just a length of coax, but I sure couldn't swear to it -- I dunno whether one could substitute a longer cable. So I ended up wiring an AC outlet in my attic right near the antenna. But if the cable you want to amplify comes in the house right near an existing AC outlet (hardly a rare setup), this thing will install really, really fast.

When I was shopping, it took me a long time to figure out what kind of amplification I was looking for. This device seems to be designed to solve the problems of people who get good reception, but have to overcome splitters or long cable runs; it does NOT appear to be for those trying to compensate for poor reception.

I had great HDTV reception, pulling in over 100 DTV channels locally. But there wasn't enough signal to make it to both of my TVs, each of...

Chester Kim: I started TV antenna project more than a year ago but was stuck with Ladder. I initially ordered Antennas Direct C4 ClearStream4 Outdoor Digital HD TV Antenna. It gives me pretty good reception even just facing window in the room at upstairs but my wife hates to see the huge thing in her cozy office room and I wanted to completely replace all tv connection to timewarner cable to air. The only problem for me was ladder. My two story house is small but tall and I needed a tall ladder which may cost $200-$300 (or more) to reach roof and I wonder if I needed it again after installing antenna. So, this nice antenna collected dust in my garage about a year and finally I decided to hire someone has ladder and experience which costs me $150 for labor and guarantees the result (save me from the risk to climb up to the roof).
Installation seems pretty straightforward with just one additional cheap mounting kit (Skywalker SKY32812) and a 3' long strong pipe I bought from home depot. I actually asked him to install this antenna by side of the roof since the pipe is long enough. It's same place with satellite antennas installed on every other house's roof in my community....
