The cable guy said you couldn't add another amplifier, that it wouldn't work. Guess I showed him! It works great. i had issues because of the long cable run in my house and needed a stronger signal. This did the job.
I installed this in minutes and was able restore the signal to my cable box connected TVs on a long and split run. (I have 7 TVs not all pre-wired for cable. After splitters reduced the signal too much and the cable company could not help, I bought a 4 way splitter with amplification. This fixed 3 TVs but the other 4 would read signal interrupted message. I place this amplifier and now the other 4 digital boxes work well. Very little if any pixalization occurs.
I live in an apartment where the coax signal is shared by several tenants.
Before this device, I would always worry about sporadic reboots or blaming the neighbors for hogging the signal. LOL After installing it, I never had to make another call for the cable guy to visit.
