Philips LTE Filter to Enhance TV Antenna Reception

DTC3: This was purchased to address a sudden case of OTA signal dropout on one local channel despite nothing being done to the home antenna, cable, or distribution setup. I attributed this to distribution amplifier overload after I took the amp out of the system temporarily and just ran the antenna signal to one set, and since nothing else had changed internally, I attributed the overload to some new cellphone tower change on the upper UHF frequencies (>610 Mhz) previously assigned to OTA TV, a band apparently used for 5G by T-Mobile. This LTE filter eliminated the overload problem.

efb: I was skeptical when I purchased this filter I was very surprised that it worked great. I have had no problems with pixelation and picture quality on my TV. I ordered another one for a second TV in my RV and see how that works out during the camping season.

Sonny Littlejohn: Does it do what it claims to do? Absolutely, it will filter out the noise it claims it filters out.
Will this give you a good TV signal? Very Unlikely.

I give it 5 stars because it works exactly as it should. I'm telling you though, it almost certainly will not help your TV signal.

Fixerman: The filter clears up all my channels that used to be marginal, especially those at a distance. works great with my home built Gray Hoverman antenna. The difference is amazing.

Dave: Hey I like it. It cleared up my TV picture quite a bit. Not perfect, but pretty darn good

Mikee5: We have moved into a rental property while waiting for our new home to be completed; the property only has an older style analogue antenna and we were constantly getting 4g and 5g signal interference making free to air TV stations unwatchable.
We purchased the filter, Amazon delivered it less than a week, it took 2 minutes to install and our reception is interference free.
We are very happy.

Jerry C: I have four stations within a very short distance (3 km), but a number of variables (high rises, trees, terrain and cell towers) give me a less than desired signal. There are eight cell towers in a direct line between my home and three of the tv broadcast towers, so I figured I'd give this a shot. I found a good improvement of signal with all three channels after installing the filter. Happy with the results. Note: I am using a small flat indoor antenna at ground level. Perhaps I'd have a better signal to begin with if I had a larger outdoor antenna at an elevated height, but am unable to do so in my situation.

Anonymouse: Didn't help my antenna setup.

Got this yesterday hopping to clean up some pixelation issues with RF36 broadcasts. Previously had a 6dB attenuator in the the line. Let me explain the setup.

Have an HDHomerun Quad (HDHR5) doing all the tuning, fed by 2 attic antennas facing opposite directions to broadcast towers 17 miles and 52 miles away. No amplifier. 1 antenna is a DB4 and the other is a medium-sized yagi (50+ inches). No amplifier, since the signals are very strong. Both antennas have reflectors, so signals are nearly completely from the expected direction.

The HDHR tuners can report on signal strength, SNR, and symbol quality. The goal is to have the last 2 as high as possible and the SS good enough. Running a report is easy with a little Linux script, so that has been run in the different configurations at different times of the day. A few scans:
