Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The cable signal entering my house is somehwat low power (we live at the end of a long line), then it gets split 2 ways to a cable modem and a main distribution amp, each getting -9dB of signal (per the cable modem diag page). Then one of the legs from that DA gets split another four ways. The lines directly off the DA had an okay digital and analog signal. The lines off the 4 way splitter had a rather noisy analog signal but no digital TV would detect any of the digital channels, much less attempt to pixelate.
I connected this amp just before the initial 2-way splitter. The cable modem indicated +3dB and the SNR of the digital signals were improved on the lines directly off the DA (although there was no visual difference of course). The lines off the 4-way splitter now have a very clear analog signal as well as sufficiently high signal to receive the digital channels.
Excellent amplifier and easy to install. The retail versions may include a coax cable for power, but this one doesn't but it provides for remote powering if you want to put it even closer to the pole (the closer the better, so you aren't amplifying the noise too) [you'll need a power inserted to do this].
