In Reply to: TV antenna signal booster question posted by Ray on August 13, 2014 at 12:17:11:

most consumer signal boosters are nothing but junk!!!!!!They create more noise than signal gain. They are worthless and do more harm.

However... there are the professional catv boosters, cost more and work fabulous.. Electroline and PCT drop boosters are the real thing, cost a bit more and will work for years to come. They come in various amount of gain so be sure to buy a higher gain model for at the antenna and you will be amazed how clear the signal will be. You can buy a zero gain splitter for breaking out at vcr, tv and dvr. A regular passive splitter will cut the signal in half or even more depending on how many taps it has. A zero gain splitter will amplify and put the same signal level out and what comes in, so why the name is a bit confusing, it maintains exactly the same level for all of its output taps as what is comming in, so the signal is not degraded to extreame low levels. The higher gained models come in 7 and 14 db gain. I would use the higher level at the antenna to compensate for cable loss coming into the the house and down the the set. Then I use the zero gained splitter to send all over the house and to all the dvrs, vcrs, tvs to get a high quality catv grade signal for digital tv. Use a quad shield rg6 coax as well and do not use crappy rg59 at all.

This type of system will run with no problems for 20 to 50 years...
