THE CIMPLE CO Antenna Amplifier Kit, Digital TV Signal Booster with Coax, Adjustable Gain, 24 dB Distribution, NTSC, ATSC, FM, UHF, VHF, 1000 MHz, Includes RG6 Coaxial Cable

I purchased on Amazon a Five Star Outdoor HD TV Antenna, and for years I had nothing but trouble with the reception of weaker channels. I talked to an independent expert on TV antennas and decided to troubleshoot by swapping out the amplifier that came with the Five Star for this one. My problems have all gone away. My reception of all TV channels are now crystal clear.

I was using an 18dB amp that came with an external antenna, basic plastic thing, that seemed boastful at 18dB, it was pretty weak. Temporarily using this antenna indoors for testing as I set up my new house. Figuring if it can do well inside, it will almost certainly do better when I mount it high up outside. This amp being 6 dB more at 24dB did the trick for FM signal. Cleared up the bits of static in the signal right away and I picked up a couple stations that would not lock on stereo loud and clear. I have it cranked all the way, but when I backed it off a bit, signal was still good.Have not used this one yet for HDTV/Off air channels, but original amp actually handled this frequency segment well enough, it was more the FM Radio signals I was trying to boost. Radio signal can be tricky, radios with built in antennas placed upstairs in one corner of the house are all good, downstairs in the opposite corner...static, weak, won't grab some stations at all. I went around with a battery powered radio outside and inside and found the sweet spot locations, but it's really about the number of walls, etc. between the radio and the tower transmitter out there. I live in a more remote area now and am sort of old school, I like having good old FM radio available for NPR and any radio stations I can pick up. This did the trick. I'm using apps more on smart TV's for some stuff...still wanted good strong FM/TV antenna infrastructure at the ready. I'm considering adding a second amp in line to boost the heck out of the signal, probably don't not need it. Previous owner had satellite TV (shudder, ripped that out immediately), so in house cable distribution is all over the place in virtually every room. Will take advantage of this for TV/Radio now as it's any easy swap/add.Some negative reviews here had me scratching my head, sounded like they might have hooked it up wrong or have a weak antenna/poor placement? Or it could be defective I suppose, but there is not much to fail with this basic amp. This amp does appear to have every bit of the power described. I've tried it with a smaller window mount antenna and a large modular exterior antenna (again temporarily inside), both had good to great results respectively.General rules of thumb:-Place an amp as close to the antenna as possible, this can make a big difference. If you place it way down stream of long meandering wire runs and splitters, might not perform as well.-Some even mount the amp right to the antenna pole outside and run power to it or an amp is integrated in the antenna. If you are within about 20 feet to the amp from antenna, should be all good.-You can stack amps in line, to push that dB power up there, although I doubt most people will need this.-If you are using existing coaxial cable TV infrastructure (and you are using cable TV boxes still over smart TV apps), caution when loading up amps in line with it, generally it's fine to share signals here, but too much can interfere with one signal or the other. Plus if you have cable TV, you probably don't need an off air antenna for HDTV/Local channels anyway.-Survey around the house for best antenna placement.-Invest in a quality antenna, remote steerable ones are really cool for dialing this in.

It works great, I get channels I couldn't get before. Easy to setup, just attach your antenna and source cables, plug it in and you are ready to go. It has an adjustable gain on it, but I just leave mine set to the max. Can't beat the price, and the housing is made out of metal. It has mounting holes on the flange so you can attach it to the back of a cabinet, etc.

Looks well-made but did not improve my tv reception. In fact, it did not work. Now still using my original amplifier that works intermittently

This amplifier works pretty well. I actually had to turn it down a bit because it was picking up multiple channels on the same frequency which was confusing my TV. I am happy with its performance. Hopefully it will last for a long time.It was super easy to install and the power cord was reasonably long.

I have a TV in a far off bedroom from the exterior antenna and the attic signal splitter so reception in this room was poor. I connected the booster amp directly to the TV and got way better reception. I do need to move it closer to the antenna and signal splitter up in the attic so it will improve reception elsewhere in the home. Easy to hook up everything is included.

Lasted almost exactly one year before dying. Replaced it with another amplifier that I have had for years. Worked well while it worked. Disappointed.

I am so impressed with The CIMPLE CO Antenna Amplifier! It has made a noticeable difference in my TV reception. The adjustable gain feature allows me to fine-tune the signal, ensuring I get the best quality picture and sound, even in areas with weak signal strength.The 24 dB distribution works perfectly for my needs, and I love that it supports a variety of signals including NTSC, ATSC, FM, UHF, and VHF. The included RG6 coaxial cable was a nice touch, making installation quick and easy.Since using this amplifier, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in both the number of channels I can access and the overall clarity of the signal. If you’re looking for a reliable and affordable solution to boost your antenna’s performance, I highly recommend this product!
