![]() Spanish channels, Asian channels, Indian channels, religious channels, shopping channels, and yes – even network channels. I was able to get many, many, many channels, but not my favorite – Channel 2. I used my handy compass, and along with Antennas Direct direction finder, figured out the direction the antenna would need to face.Īfter installing the Clearstream 4 antenna in the attic, I first tried running the TV auto program WITHOUT the powered amplifier. My house is more than 30 miles from Houston Texas TV towers, in a somewhat wooded area. I talked to very helpful guys at Antennas Direct, and ordered Clearstream 4 antenna, and 8 Output Distribution Amplifier (powered). I just moved into a 2 year old house, and wanted to “cut the cord” to that ugly dish on the roof. ![]() ![]() You should also use 75-ohm F-termination caps for any unused outputs (sold separately). If installing outdoors, you will need a power inserter to allow the included power supply to share the coaxial cable connected to the designated output shown on the distribution amplifier. For indoor and outdoor use For outdoor use, it is recommended to use a watertight F-connector along with weather boots to protect the connections from the environment. Split the signal to eight TVs or digital converter boxes Designed for both home and professional use, it can also be used when 50′ or more of coaxial cable is used between the antenna and the TV or converter box.īoosts the signal Boosts the available signal from the coaxial cable coming from the TV antenna to counter the signal loss resulting from splitting the signal to multiple TVs or converter boxes. Antennas Direct eight-output HDTV distribution amplifier It is commonly used in homes and businesses where the TV antenna needs to distribute signals to as many as eight TVs without impacting the signal quality. Capable of supporting up to eight displays or converter boxes, this amplifier improves picture quality by boosting signals from TV antennas.Ī compact design lets this Antennas Direct eight-output TV/CATV distribution amplifier fit comfortably in small spaces. Split signals without sacrificing quality using this Antennas Direct eight-output TV/CATV distribution amplifier. Just put amplifier at short run from antenna so you not amplifying noise and signal that not there in the first place to get best results. I did the cheaper route with not much improvement as to noisy and no band filters and finally just ordered this one as lower noise floor and has band filters and surpass my expectation. Yes won’t pull in something antenna can’t get in the first place as max you get is about 60 miles even with roof outdoor antenna and yes you need Cooper core RG6 quad shield to get best results but is antenna position correctly and tune to frequency needed in area, this amplifier will outperform most. This amplifier did the trick and no more pixelation at all even in bad weather and literally pulls in everything can pull in my area. I tried cheaper amplifiers and did work but would still pixelate at night, or raining but fine during the day. It pulls in everything even a state away from me. This one pulls a weak signal from about 60 miles away from tower that was unwatchable as pixelation and freezing up to reliable and good picture quality. This amplifier using pretty much as a pre amplifier as have it coming short RG6 quad shield cooper core cable from antenna in attic and then running to runs going to DVR and TV and definitely better then most. None of my gripes are deal breakers, though, and I’m happy, so far, as this works fine for my intended purpose. And failing this, at least make the one they do provide long enough to make it from the wall to your TV set. ![]() it still uses special connector, you have to keep track of, instead of doing us the favor of powering it via a universal USB. That no HDMI is cord included, is understandable, but having the ones they do provide be different lengths, when the expected run is the same distance for both, begs explanation.Įven though the Power Supply to the unit has a bulky adapter. The quality of the components used just isn’t there, to withstand multiple connect and disconnect activity. So, why the four stars? Well for the money, I don’t have a lot of confidence in it lasting very long.Īnd would plan on including it with a portable kit if any kind. So, i was presently surprised to find this converter delivered a picture with no noticeable drop in quality from what the HDMI provided before it failed. And, as I exclusively use this as a large monitor for streaming content through my computer, without a solution to bring it this video signal would render it useless, a drop in picture quality was both expected, and acceptable. I specifically sought one of these out to solve the failure of the HDMI port on my aging 50”plasma. ![]()
