I ordered this splitter/amplifier because I am a nerd and built my own DVR with 4 tuners which meant I needed to split my comcast cable connection a bunch of times. I was getting some serious analog signal degradation and my HD signal was at times too low for my tuners to pick up. After missing 24 and Heroes one monday night I hopped online and bought this beauty. I have been using it for nearly a month and have nothing but praise for it. Works as advertised, I am completely satisfied.

Bought this to help pick up some stations that my over the air tv antenna was not picking up. It accomplished that and more. I actually picked up several more stations that I didn't expect. It was easy to hook up. It boosted channels that I already had and picked up those I was looking for, and picked up ones I didn't expect to get. I also split my signal to three different tv's and this made it easy. I would recommend this product to anyone.

I've been shopping around for a good Amp for some time, and decided to buy this because of the good reviews. I was not disappointed.

According to my DirecTV AM21 Off-Air tuner, this Amp improved my signal by at least 20-30%. Stations that I was previously receiving signal at ~70%-80% they are now reaching signal levels at or near 100%. Two particularly bad stations (13.1 [VHF] and 22.1 [UHF]) are now coming in better than 90%, with no pixelation. I even pick up a new station at ~40% that I wasn't receiving at all before I hooked up this product.

Overall I'm very happy with this product, I can now watch all my favorite network shows with no pixelation in crystal clear HD.

My main interest in buying a splitter was more for maintaining my cable internet speed and less about television quality. So when we moved into a new temporary house I was concerned because both internet and cable came from the same jack. Our previous place of residence had a cable line which was dedicated to the internet. My wife called the cable company and was told to purchase a "splitter". Since "splitters" can range in price from a few dollars upward, I attempted to research this further with less than definitive results. I finally decided to give the 4 Port Cable TV / HDTV / Digital Amplifier Internet Modem Signal Booster Internet Amp a try.

I initially did my broadband speed test connecting the cable modem directly to the cable jack and connecting the modem to my computer using Ethernet and recorded the results in kb/s for download and upload. I then removed the cable from the modem and connected it to the HDTV amplifier and then connected the HDTV amplifier to the cable modem. The speed test showed no reduction in speed. I then connected the cable modem to my Airport Express with the same results. I then turned on the television in the family room with no changes. For my last test I went to the farthest point in the house away from the Airport Express and the speed test maintained the same upload and download speeds. I feel confident in saying that a consumer can use this product at the same time other cable requiring products are in use with no loss in their internet signal strength as measure by the broadband speed test. This product showed no evidence of boosting the internet speed but maintained the internet speed while using the television and transmitting the internet signal over a wireless network. I hope this review will help others whose main goal is maintaining their current internet connection speed.

This signal amplifier worked well for my DTV setup. We have an antenna in the attic with long cable runs to individual rooms in the house. The signal strength was greatly improved to overcome the signal loss of the long cable runs. This thing is also built like a tank: heavy, solid, and sturdy.
