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.

I bought this product on a whim despite some of the bad reviews as I’ve usually had pretty good luck with GE electronic products. My set up was a two-story house that I had installed a big digital antenna in. Our goal with this product was to get local area Houston stations that we struggle to get a good signal for, given we live a good bit out of the metroplex (40+ miles from the signal towers). I had a single TV connected to the antenna on the first floor with a split about 1/3 of the way down to the wall at a junction box. Keep in mind, there was a lot of coaxial cable running through the wall down to the tv. Before installation I would get one of the four major stations (fox) but not CBS NBC or ABC. And the Fox signal was spotty at best. After installing this booster, I now get all of the station pretty clearly when before they did not work at all. Side note, I did install the booster closer to the antenna, which was the recommendation of both the instructions in the reviews. It did exactly what I wanted to do and 100% worth the cost.

Product is not suited to Australian power point. Have been away. Now too late to return. Stick with it. Always double check the product

am impressed, had chanel pixelization and complete loss of signal, now picture is good no pixelization even on bad day where i could not receive some channel.

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.
