GE Indoor TV Antenna Amplifier Low Noise Antenna Signal Booster Clears Up Pixelated Low-Strength Channels HD TV Digital VHF UHF AC Power Adapter Black 42178

Vivo en un área donde hay poca recepción de señal. Compré una antena aérea para largo alcance y los canales se veían entre cortados y pixeleados. La solución fue este aparato GE*. El cual el 1er paso: Entre la unión del cable coaxial y la conexión de la antena aérea agregue un pedazo de aluminio al rededor y lo cubrí con Termoretractil. 2do paso: Conecté el GE Indoor TV Antenna Amplifier y entre cada conexión del cable que viene de la antena aérea y la entrada del GE *, puse un pedazo de aluminio y el Termoretractil. 3er paso: Conecté el GE* a la TV con el aluminio y el Termoretractil. 4to paso: Alimenté el GE* y en la SMART TV reprogramé los canales. RESULTADO: Todos los canales se empezaron a ver en FULL HD y sin pérdidas, ya va 1 mes y a pesar de lluvias, vientos fuertes, etc. Los canales se ven perfecto. NOTA: Para que sirve: Aluminio: Ayuda a que otras señales ya sea del celular, WiFi, BT, Microondas, etc., Interfieran entre las uniones que no están protegidas, ya que el cable coaxial si es bueno trae por dentro un recubrimiento del mismo aluminio para evitar interferencias. Termoretractil: Es una especie de plastico que al calentarlo se adhiere encogiendose a la superficie donde se puso, ayuda en este caso a que el aluminio quede fijo y cubrirlo del polvo. Además que se visualmente da un acabado uniforme (que no se vean las uniones). Espero les ayude a los que tienen problemas. NOTA: NO ayuda a que tengas más señales, solo ayuda a mejorar la estabilidad de recepción.

Rubbish. When you sell a product in Australia you should sell it with an Australian plug.

I just ran some tests for transmitting UHF audio signal the 250 feet I need for a drive-in show coming up. In-ear monitor transmitters use the same frequency range as DTV broadcasts, in this case 540-660MHz. With a $380 Shure directional antenna with built-in amplifier (and the $740 combiner needed to power the thing), I got about 100'. With this amp, even though you need adapters on the input and output, it got 360' through the same antenna in passive mode. FYI you can use TV splitters in reverse to combine multiple transmitter antenna lines into one, then use this amplifier and a good antenna and you're outperforming pro gear that costs over 10x more. This is made to operate 24/7 for years. IEM transmitters only operate while you're set up for a show, and it's dirt cheap to carry spares.

If you have a powered antenna that turns, I can tell you there will be nothing that works on these. I have tried many different options and styles. It is a let down, but there is good news. If you own an antenna that is stationary your in luck, because this little device will work great. I am using it on another antenna that I have and the reception is very spotty. Plugged this little guy in and it took care of the reception problem.

Before I got this I was running a 70 foot cable from the antenna directly to the TV. Depending on weather I would get pixelation on 2/3 of the channels. After running new electrical wiring just for this thing, I now have a five foot cable from the antenna to this box and then the 70 foot cable going to the TV. So on to the obvious flaw. The part that goes TO the TV is a male connection. Really? Why? This is supposed to be located as close to the antenna as possible. So assuming the antenna is not sitting right on top of the TV you will need to run a cable from this device to the TV. All coax cables are male/male. So that means the very design of this silly thing adds one more connection, a female/female adapter that goes from this device to the cable that ultimately goes to the TV. Now if you've ran a short cable from the antenna to this and a longer cable to the TV you've added an extra cable and an extra female/female connector. The signal degradation you're trying to fight is now hoping over more hurdles. For me, the signal got worse with all the extra stuff in there. Before I had 36 stations and about 2/3 of them would be pixelated depending on the weather. With this thing and the splices I can only get the 5 strong stations and now even those are pixelated. That's with this device being as close to the antenna as possible while still not being outside in the weather. Three strikes. Dumb design. Doesn't work. Makes it worse.
