PBD HDTV Preamplifier, TV Antenna Amplifier Signal Booster, HD Digital VHF UHF Amplifier, with 4G 5G LTE Filter, Professional-Grade Signal Booster

Wow, I can't believe the difference this little gadget has made! The PBD HDTV Preamplifier with 4G LTE Filter is a game-changer for my TV setup.Setting it up was a piece of cake. The instructions are straightforward, and I had it up and running in no time. Plus, it's pretty compact, so finding a spot for it was no trouble at all.But what really blew me away is the signal boost it delivers. I used to get those annoying pixelated screens and signal dropouts, especially during the big game or when watching my favorite shows. With this preamplifier, those problems are history. My TV signal is now crystal clear, with no interruptions whatsoever.The 4G LTE filter is another cool feature. It blocks out any interference from mobile networks, so you can enjoy your shows without worrying about signal disruptions.And it's not just about performance; this thing feels solid and well-made. I'm confident it'll last for ages and keep my TV signal in top shape.In a nutshell, the PBD HDTV Preamplifier is a must-have if you want to upgrade your TV experience. It's easy to use, it works like a charm, and it's made my TV time way more enjoyable. No more fuzzy screens or dropouts – this little device is a total winner! I'm super happy with it, and I'd recommend it to anyone who's tired of TV signal problems.

This well-priced device increased channels from barely 20 to 85 (lots of duplicates/repeaters) and put an end to most signal glitches during long term TV watching. I'm only about 20 miles from the metro but live in a forest with hills all around. This amplifier, paired with a GE Outdoor Antenna (29884) mounted just 8ft up on an arbor, performs very well.Over the past few years, I tried 2 or 3 other amplifiers and antennas which sort of worked on a few channels, but after adding this amplifier I get all the channels without glitches.This amplifier works better than others probably because it handles both VHF and UHF amplification better than others. The other improvement is the pre-amp mounts at the antenna with the power inserter / bias tee powering it from inside. So the pre-amp amplifies the signal before it suffers from cable loss back to your receiver. This pre-amp is ideal for people with very long 100+ ft cable runs to the antenna. Though my cable run is only about 30' and it works awesomely!

Only downside is needing to install it close to the antenna - the level of hassle depending on how easy it is to access your antenna. After that, it's working great - paired with our GE 33692 attic antenna, we're now getting strong signals for channels we couldn't even pick up before. I'll be curious to see how well it survives the attic heat this summer.

UPDATE: Lowering to 1 star:I kept wondering why I wasn't getting VHF channels reliably. I even took a laptop and TV tuner up on the roof, hooked it up there, and saw that I was getting okay reception. That's when I replaced the bad included cable that came with the amp. But even though it helped some, it was still not as good as it should have been.Finally I realized I should do a test again bypassing the amp altogether. I left the amp installed at the antenna but instead of going through the power injector, I went straight from the antenna download into the TV tuner. Well, those troublesome channels were now coming in great. I went up on the roof and took out the amp entirely and it's even better (without the extra loss of having the unpowered amp in the circuit of course).Well, to summarize, it was doing okay at first but seemed to slowly get worse. VHF was basically unusable even at the start, but even the UHF channels were starting to suffer.I thought I was getting a decent amp considering the price, but lesson learned. I'll get something with higher quality. I do get signal loss on the cable run, so I do want an amp, but this is not the one.----------------Original review:I have about 90-100 feet of coax from the antenna to my distribution system, and even though it's a good quality quad-shielded RG6, it was losing a lot of signal along the way. I finally got around to adding an amp on the roof at the antenna itself, and this unit seemed like a good fit.I started out by testing signal quality at the antenna directly (took a laptop up there with a USB tuner so I could scan and get the actual signal levels). Then I wired up the amp and repeated the process at the end of 100' of coax. Initially I was underwhelmed. Some channels were fine, but some actually did worse!I got back on the roof and noticed that the short cable that came with the amp (that goes between the amp and the antenna) was kinked pretty bad in a couple spots. Maybe it was a result of the way it was coiled up for shipping, or maybe these cables are just not that great.Whatever the case, I dug out a quality coax cable from my stash and used it instead. Lo and behold, the signal at the end of the long coax run was great now on all channels. I threw the included cable in the trash where it belongs.Remember that an amp like this can't boost a bad signal, so if you're not getting a good signal at the antenna itself, this amp won't help you one bit. But if you have a long cable run like I do, or maybe you're feeding a splitter to run to different TV's, this amp will take that good signal you already have and make sure it gets where it's going at the other end.Summary: Good amp, terrible jumper cable so make sure you have your own just in case.
