One of the tv,s is a 1080p Sony HDTV. First booster arrived defective but replacement is working perfectly and has met all my expectations. It provides 15db boost thru splitters to 4 tv,s with no visable distortion or hum in the pictures. Very satisfied. Bill M.
This thing does exactly what it's supposed to do. Used it on a weak cable TV line ahead of a splitter and it cleaned up the signal beautifully.Some amps with higher noise figures will just increase the noise along with the signal. Not this puppy. if you have decent SNR coming in (only weak), you should have a nice, clean signal coming out.Kudos to Motorola for a great design.
Very easy to install and does what it claims to do, which is make a cable signal which was borderline unwatchable on some stations to ghost free. Be sure to install it where the cable feed comes into the house so it handles all jacks.
Made sense. And simple to install. A 99.00 machine for 38.00. A use that some kind of "pro" would appreciate.But it appears that one of Motorola's claims is not "true": it will not boost antenna signal. A signal booster might be a good thing to buy along with a better antenna. Wow. When I was shopping for a stronger antenna, this device came up as something others buy along with an antenna. for something having to do with cables, signals and TVs.
In which case it is "true" that some are "good", but also that many are not--or are only so in an expert implementation unable to be appreciated by the hoi polloi.Amazon is great about free postage on returns, but Motorola is costing Amazon money by their false advertisement and/or crummy workmanship. (It was--only three steps).The machine might be "good"--. If Motorola wants to make another misleading claim I have a suggestion: "The 484095-001-00 Signal Booster also works well as an attractive and inexpensive paperweight." They could write it alongside their oracular claim that the device is "the same as the one that the pros use". It is. Obviously, and regrettably, many other people people thought it made sense, too. Or if it does, one must hire or be a pro to know how to Gerry-rig the 484095-001-00 Signal Booster so that it will, well, you know, boost signals.
The deal seems too "good" to be "true". The device cut my reception from 25 to 3 channels.I am assured on the package that it is the same device that the pros use. (Not being a pro I use layman's terms).Of course, there is another possibility: judging from other reviews, a great many of which were positive, it may be that some are good even to a novice, but a great number of these contraptions are simply defective, and it is the luck of the draw if a customer received one that actually works as advertised.
I have an outdoor VHF/UHF directional antenna and used the booser to get some of the weaker digital stations to come in better. It's not as strong as I had hoped but better than they were before. It seems the winter weather creates some of the problems because when the weather is good all the stations come in strong with no pixeling.
