4 PORT CABLE TV / HDTV / DIGITAL AMPLIFIER INTERNET MODEM SIGNAL BOOSTER INTERNET AMP
I purchased this unit because I recently upgrade EVERY television in my house to flat panel HD tvs and they seemed blurry while on cable the large television will even inform you as to how strong the signal is coming in to the tv. I hooked this booster up outside where the cable enters my house i came inside and the 4 tvs looked exactly the same so being more concerned with the large tv in the living room i hooked it up before the cable went into it my signal was 5 out of 10 bars before the booster and no change after i hooked it up my best sugeestion is just have the cable company come out and repair/boost whatever the problem may be

This is a great product however be aware that you need a power inserter in SOME installations. You either have to have a power outlet near the amplifier OR run a coax from power to the amplifier OR purchase a power inserter to insert the power near one of your sets.
This is not a problem except it will hold up your installation if you need one. The company I ordered mine from was great about getting the inserter into the mail in quick order.
The unit works just fine and lived up to my hopes and expectations.

Maybe someone can explain this to me: the last output says pwr/in/rf out rather than just rf out like the other three outputs. What is the purpose of the pwr/in on that last output? There is no explanation anywhere in the literature that came with the amplifier. There is already a pwr/in port on the top left so why have two of them? Does the last rf out port need a power source in order to work? I tried connecting this amplifier to my input cable and out to 3 tv’s. the 4th output went to another splitter which went out to two additional tv’s. The signal was worse than it was before i used the amplifier.

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.

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.
