GE 4-Way HD Digital TV Antenna Amplifier, Low Noise Antenna Signal Booster, Clears Up Pixelated Low-Strength Channels, Supports Multiple HD Smart TVs, AC Adapter, Black, 34479

This review is for the 4 channel amplified splitter. Hooked this up to my rotating antenna to try to help boost the signal. You know the $25 Chinese rotating antenna that a bunch of people selling under different names. The antenna worked great but for whatever reason I have a hard time getting abc where I live with any antenna so I figured I’d give it a shot. The picture on every channel dropped out and had no signal with this amplifier plugged in. I’m assuming since the antenna is powered through the coaxial cable, the amplifier is interfering with the signal or just cancelling it out. It does say for passive antennas only but figured I’d give it a gamble and lost. I also checked the GE website and found absolutely no info on it so I wonder if they even make it or someone using their name? Anyway don’t waste your money if you have an amplified or powered antenna of any kind because it won’t work.

Used this unit to amplify the signal from an outdoor antenna so I could distribute it to two television receivers (one a small flat-screen, and the other a very old CRT television with a digital converter box). Worked fine for the purpose -- a reasonably-priced solution, easy to use, and resulting in a clear, usable signal for both receivers.

I purchased a Winegard amplifier to use in conjunction with this GE amplified splitter to boost free reception channels from my RCA roof top mounted exterior antenna, which is a 45 mile range unit, however my nearest towers are about 70 miles away as the crow flies according to Tower finder websites. With that said, using the Winegaurd amplifier with the GE splitter, I could not pick up any channels on my samsung TV when checking for air channels. However, Using the winegaurd amp with a standard non-powered 2150mghz 4 way splitter, I was able to pick up 76 channels crystal ear. Using the GE splitter connected directly to the antenna, I was unable to get any channels. Using the GE splitter connected to the winegaurd amp coming off the antenna, I still Could NOT pick up any channels. Not sure if the GE unit is faulty or what, but I certainly couldn't get it to work. I tried using the GE splitter in several other variations, but still never could get it to work. However the winegaurd unit is working almost flawlessley. I say almost because my limitations are due to My antenna. I have ordered and will be installing a longer range directional antenna tonsee if that “holds” our freebie channel reception. For reference, our Exterior antenna is connected via roughly 50’ of RG6 quadshield spliced via f-connectors and a barrel, once at the antenna, and again at the AV closet where in runs into the 4-way tap. So it is relatively a close run from the antenna location to the 4-way splitter which then feeds all the TV’s in the house through RG6.

I connected this amplifier to a brand new RCA ANT705 antenna from Walmart that I installed in the attic and was able to pick up about less than half the channels available here in the greater Los Angeles area. I later decided to move the antenna outside to the roof instead and picked up a few more channels but not all of them, too much pixelation and signal loss. I removed the new RCA antenna and installed an old Channel Master 3010 that I had before and with the amplifier was able to pick up ALL the channels available with almost 90% signal in most of the channels. The worst ones showed 2 out of 5 bars on my TV but the image quality was flawless. So yes, it really depends on the antenna quality (you get what you pay for), where you set it up and potential interference from nearby buildings, trees or cell towers. The amplifier really improves the reception though, if I power it off the antenna by itself doesn't do much. The RCASignalFider app helped a lot with fine tuning the orientation towards Mount Wilson (26 miles away from my house), where the TV towers are located in this area. BUY A GOOD QUALITY ANTENNA LIKE CHANNEL MASTER, don't expect the amplifier to do miracles. It takes some work to find a good spot for reception, it's trial and error and very time consuming but rewarding since I don't have to pay for cable.

The amplifier I received did not work. Am giving it three stars on the chance I just got a bad one. Used this to replace an old amplifier (which worked pretty well) thinking it might be even better. I went from 50 channels to zero after installing according to directions, using new coax, and rescanning several times. I then replaced the old amplifier and it still worked. Good luck.

I am an RF engineer and was reluctant to purchase this item as there were not any specifications about the gain. After reviewing a few reviews I figured for 20 bucks and free returns why not try it. This device is awesome. Best RF splitter amplifier I’ve ever used. Would buy again.

Signal strength increased and pixilation reduced on all weaker OTA channels.

Workes great for long cable runs. My antenna is on the end of the house, and the coax enters at the middle of the house. I have three TV's in the house and the one farthest would only pickup 17 channels. Now with the amplifier installed all three TV's will pick up 56 local channels!!

Funciona bien lo único es que se filtra un poco de ruido no se si sea la cálidad del coaxial

No funciono lo estoy devolviendo

Si incremento la señal de los canales lo cual es lo que estaba buscando Lo volvería a comprar de necesitarlo

El amplificardor me funciono tanto para una antena interna como externa, el único pero es el precio.

El producto llego en perfecto estado y cuando lo abrí me pareció bueno, pero al utilizarlo no ayudo en mucho para mejorar la señal de mis TVs, si divide la señal en 4 salidas, pero desafortunadamente no ayudo en mucho a mejorar la calidad de la señal.
