We have three cable boxes from Comcast. Strangely, the one closest to the cable inlet to the house could not get our NBC affiliate (and no tivo either) along with a crappy picture. Our HD channels would not show a menu. We replaced the box twice, no change. We tried several passive splitters, none worked. We ordered this drop amp splitter, installed very easily, now the signal strength is excellent. Labels on the device made it very clear how to hook it up. One thing not mentioned, you need an extra coax cable to attach the power supply (AC adapter). I recommend this amp if you have one or two locations that have bad reception.
Great HDTV for my Windows Media Center
Was getting many "low signal" errors on my media center. Installed this and never had the issue again.
Great product!

not quite what I wanted
I checked the signal strength as indicated on my converter box before installation and after. There was no difference. However, I was able to send the antenna feed to another TV with no loss in signal strength.
I had hoped, based on the other reviews, that there would be an increase in signal strength. That did not seem to be the case.

Works as expected; a little steep pricewise
This is not standard Radio Shack. Quality all the way. I have a bad cable signal. This little amp helped somewhat. Found 3 new channels. With decent cables, just maybe I will have a great picture. The unit can not work miracles; but I am very pleased. I think this amp would be perfect for multiple TV's or long cable runs. As for making a bad signal good; I just don't think it was made for that. Something about a silk purse out of a Sow's ear.

Misleading Description
The picture shows 2 PWR in ports. To use the 2nd port you need the supplied AC/DC adapter and the optional power inserter, not available through Amazon.
