THE CIMPLE CO - TV Antenna Amplifier Kit with Coax - Digital TV Signal Booster with RG6 Coaxial Cable - Adjustable Gain, 24 dB Distribution, NTSC, ATSC, FM, UHF, VHF, 1000 MHz - Indoor Use Only

Worked well in my case --- installed about 15 feet from the antenna and followed by an approximately 60 ft cable run with two TVs. Both good and bad reviews for amplifiers like this should be taken with a grain of salt. The amplification of digital signals can be tricky. I wasn't looking to pick up more channels --- get a better antenna setup for this -- but I was looking to improve the signal strength/signal quality of the weaker channels without "blowing out" the already strong signals. This amplifier accomplished this and is about as easy to set up as possible. It needs to be indoors and powered. Good luck.

I have been having an antenna for about a year. I picked up about 40 channels from around eight different broadcast locations. Only the channels from one of the broadcast locations consistently had great reception. The others were hit and miss. Since the addition of the amplifier seven out of eight broadcast locations have perfect reception. I don’t think I ever had a good picture from the eight location due to the distance from my house. So the amplifier has performed better than I expected. Very satisfied.

I feel sick having wasted money on this thing. Amazon suggested this as an alternative to the Channel Master Titan 2 pre-amp when I was viewing that item. I had that Channel Master item before but it stopped working, possibly from a power surge, so I needed a replacement. Based on Amazon's suggestion and the fact that it was a slight bit cheaper, I got the CIMPLE CO. However, the CIMPLE CO amplifier is NOT an alternative to the Channel Master Titan 2. I am horribly disappointed given this is hardly any different in price compared to the Channel Master. This amplifier is significantly less powerful than the Channel Master, and frankly not suitable to what I needed it for. I have maybe one or two channels that have some problems with reception. With the Channel Master, those channels and all others came in perfectly. With the CIMPLE CO, they are choppy and often still unwatchable. Basically this thing was a waste of money as it doesn't do anything useful for the only channels I needed it for. Amazon should NOT be recommending this item as an alternative to the Channel Master Titan 2.

Out of all the OTA channels we get my wife wanted a particular channel we just could not get to stop fading in and out. after installing this thing and a little adjusting it work pretty good. so far so good.

TL/DR: I added this amplifier to boost the signal on a distant station with occasional pixelation and dropouts. At maximum gain, I could not receive the station at all. I Googled "what happens if an ota antenna has too strong an amplifier" on Microsoft Edge. The AI response indicated the signal can be too strong, which will cause the tuner to drop the station when it struggles to decode the signal. I reduced the gain to about the midpoint and improved the signal. It took a LOT of patience to adjust the gain for the best picture. As a side effect, I lost a group of low power stations in my area, but I rarely watched them anyway. The instructions with the amplifier do not have any information on optimizing the gain. Details: I am using an Antennas Direct ClearStream 4Max with a Silicon Dust HD HomeRun digital tuner for distributing the signal through the house on the Emby app. The majority of the stations in my area are southwest of my home, and there is a more distant station south-southeast that has pixelation and dropouts. I have the antenna pointed to favor the south-southeast station, since it will pick up the closer stations more easily. The HD HomeRun displays signal strength for each channel in the scan, and shows a maximum of 4 bars of different color for signal strength. The best signal will be green bars; yellow bars for a good signal; red bars for a weak signal. I was able to roughly tune the amplifier gain and rescan using the HD HomeRun bars as a guide. I got to 4 yellow bars on the most distant station; the closer stations were at 4 green bars. I then fine tuned the gain to minimize pixelation while watching the station. Some televisions show signal strength level for the stations, which could also be used for tuning. Adding an antenna amplifier is not plug-and-play. This was a time-consuming process, but worth it in the end.

Works Ok for close TV signals. But it costs more than a cheaper model and does not do any better job of reception gain.

I was using an 18dB amp that came with an external antenna, basic plastic thing, that seemed boastful at 18dB, it was pretty weak. Temporarily using this antenna indoors for testing as I set up my new house. Figuring if it can do well inside, it will almost certainly do better when I mount it high up outside. This amp being 6 dB more at 24dB did the trick for FM signal. Cleared up the bits of static in the signal right away and I picked up a couple stations that would not lock on stereo loud and clear. I have it cranked all the way, but when I backed it off a bit, signal was still good. Have not used this one yet for HDTV/Off air channels, but original amp actually handled this frequency segment well enough, it was more the FM Radio signals I was trying to boost. Radio signal can be tricky, radios with built in antennas placed upstairs in one corner of the house are all good, downstairs in the opposite corner...static, weak, won't grab some stations at all. I went around with a battery powered radio outside and inside and found the sweet spot locations, but it's really about the number of walls, etc. between the radio and the tower transmitter out there. I live in a more remote area now and am sort of old school, I like having good old FM radio available for NPR and any radio stations I can pick up. This did the trick. I'm using apps more on smart TV's for some stuff...still wanted good strong FM/TV antenna infrastructure at the ready. I'm considering adding a second amp in line to boost the heck out of the signal, probably don't not need it. Previous owner had satellite TV (shudder, ripped that out immediately), so in house cable distribution is all over the place in virtually every room. Will take advantage of this for TV/Radio now as it's any easy swap/add. Some negative reviews here had me scratching my head, sounded like they might have hooked it up wrong or have a weak antenna/poor placement? Or it could be defective I suppose, but there is not much to fail with this basic amp. This amp does appear to have every bit of the power described. I've tried it with a smaller window mount antenna and a large modular exterior antenna (again temporarily inside), both had good to great results respectively. General rules of thumb: -Place an amp as close to the antenna as possible, this can make a big difference. If you place it way down stream of long meandering wire runs and splitters, might not perform as well. -Some even mount the amp right to the antenna pole outside and run power to it or an amp is integrated in the antenna. If you are within about 20 feet to the amp from antenna, should be all good. -You can stack amps in line, to push that dB power up there, although I doubt most people will need this. -If you are using existing coaxial cable TV infrastructure (and you are using cable TV boxes still over smart TV apps), caution when loading up amps in line with it, generally it's fine to share signals here, but too much can interfere with one signal or the other. Plus if you have cable TV, you probably don't need an off air antenna for HDTV/Local channels anyway. -Survey around the house for best antenna placement. -Invest in a quality antenna, remote steerable ones are really cool for dialing this in.

I don't have time to go on and on about this, but very much want to share that amidst the dizzying array of questionable products from overseas offered, and questionable reviews, I managed to select this distribution amplifier and I am super happy with the purchase so far. It just worked out of the box for my application. Excellent quality, I hope it lasts. I noticed a lot of confusion in the Q&A on Amazon for these types of products. I'll share quickly what I learned. I purchased an amplified antenna on here (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09J1X2J3S), which also works great as a fixed pointing ATSC TV antenna on my roof. My wires all go to my basement, including all the coax to all the room outlets. So, the antenna control box and power injector must be at the other end of the cable from the roof in the basement. That powers the amplifier on the roof (this is a "Preamplifier", meant to amplify the weak signal off the air), which boosts and drives the signal through that long wire to my basement. The control box puts out a lovely TV signal, but that only works for a nearby TV. How, then to get that signal to all the TVs on the other ends of all the coax ends in the basement? That's where this product comes in--a "Distribution Amplifier". meant to take a strong signal and make it stronger so that it can push through a splitter (power divider) and then through more long cables through the house to all the TVs. This product has one output, if you have more than one distant TV you need to run coax from this box to a splitter (1:2, 1:4, 1:8, etc.), and connect all the coax cables to the splitter. Don't use more gain in this product than you need. I find I need the max gain pushing through my 8:1 splitter and long cables. That's it, good luck!

Good signal booster- the adjustable gain control is a nice feature but since we are in a fringe area I set it to maximum. You still need a good antenna pointed correctly for best results. It helped our large TV which doesn’t have a very sensitive tuner, but did nothing for our small one that does have a sensitive tuner.

Me funcionó muy bien

Bon produit et fait bien le travail
