LPF-608M LTE Filter for TV Antennas USA 2020 Standard 600/608/618MHz

The filter was easy to install however, since I was installing it at the TV's, I had to use a short coax cable because the diameter of the filter was too large to attach directly to the TV's limited space. I was hopeful that this device would improve my TV reception and I was very pleasantly surprised. My home was wired for cable or OTA TV reception. Unfortunately, the coax cabling is not shielded so it picks up random radio frequencies. My OTA TV reception was deteriorating, and I wasn't sure why. I have a VHF and UHF antenna up in the attic of our one story home. We live about 39 miles from most of the UVF and high VHF transmitting towers north of Indianapolis. We were getting around 40 channels but some of the ones we really liked, would come in pixilated, intermittently or not at all during the day. My most recent rescan for OTA TV channels was getting more limited, like around 20 channels My wife recently got a 5G phone and there are now phone towers transmitting 5G signals and, after doing some research, I thought that the RF used for the 5G as well and RF being transmitted by LED light and our microwave might be an issue with our OTA reception. Upon installing the filters on our TV's and rescanning for OTA stations, I was amazed that the number of channels on the TV's that had the shortest coax cable runs of around 30 feet increased to about 80 channels. Even the TV that has about a 60-foot coax run now receives over 50 channels and I am no longer losing stations during the day or getting any pixilation. In fact, I now receive some Louisville, KY TV stations which are about 90 miles away, albeit with some pixilation. I would highly recommend this device to anyone that wants to find an inexpensive way of getting more OTA channels without purchasing and experimenting with various OTA antennas, some of which are close to $200. Just an FYI, I currently have a very simple high VHF antenna with a combiner for the small flat panel antenna that I use for all other stations. the VHF antenna gets the few VHF Indianapolis channels I want since I have it pointed fairly accurately in the right direction. I also have an 8-way splitter/amplifier to increase my reception which helps a lot.

Excellent, in my case it solved all the signal interference problems I had, it even improved the picture quality and reception of some TV channels that are a bit far from my area

Seems to work. Not sure I have cell phone interference. Not any close channels in the 30s. Low power channel 36 has been coming in on my vhf only antenna in wrong direction. Some 20 miles away. No other station in that direction. Another 36 is 90 miles away. NBC. L.A. Not enough signal on a 35 at 90 miles. A 34 often comes in from Mexico at 50 miles. 33 seldom at 50 miles. 32. 31 on meter at 90 miles. Have got 30 at 90 miles.

Before I installed this simple little 5G LTE Filter I would get irritating 2-3 second pixelation interference from the many cell phone towers in my area. So I installed an Antennas Direct ClearStream 4V TV Antenna, 70+ Mile Range, UHF/Vhf, Multi-Directional, Indoor, Attic, Outdoor, Mast W/Pivoting Base/Hardware/Adjustable Clamp/Sealing Pads, 4K Ready, Black – C4-V-CJM in my Attic along with a SiliconDust HDHomeRun Flex 4K ATSC 3.0 NextGen TV: 2/4 Tuners HDFX-4K & SiliconDust LPF-608M LTE Filter for TV Antennas USA 2020 Standard 600/608/618MHz (5G LTE Filter) “NO pre-amp or any type of Amp or booster” and this was thr results on my first try setting all of them up -- Signal Strength 100% - Signal Quality 100% - Symbol Quality 100% on channel CBS (WRGB) in Albany, NY area. At a distance of 19-22 miles pointing to the middle of 4 Broadcasting Towers. Everything Runs through my Synology NAS DiskStation DS1520+ Server running PLEX Server software. This is the perfect setup for me. I could NOT be happier. 5-STARS for All Hardware & Software.

I live about 25 miles west of Philadelphia, and have a GE Attic Antenna, 50 ft of quad shield coax, a 15db GE amp, and a three way splitter. I get about 15 digital channels from channels 2 to 35 (2 vhf low, 2 vhf high, and 11 uhf), and 97 virtual channels. At my TV, the signal strength of the various channels varies from -73 to -43 dBm, and the signal quality (or MER) from 17 to 36 db. A few of the channels have a non-zero bit error rate (BER). There are several cell towers within 1.5 miles of my house. Anyway, I tried this filter at the antenna, before the amplifier, before the TV, and without the amplifier. I also tested it with a Phillips Rabbit Ears indoor antenna. It had not effect on the signal strength, signal quality, or bit error rate of any of the channels. This includes channel 35 (located just below the 5G n71 band), which is one of my weaker stations. It may be a defective unit, or I just don't have any LTE interference.

This is a very well made filter. I installed on the cable just before it enters into the TV, but I still had really bad sound on one of my VHF channels within the range of this filter. I tried several filters and all gave the same results. As it turned out, the Roku TV has a bad tuner on that channel. Ended up installing a SiliconDust ATSC Tuner and fed the channels through my network to the TV via the FireTV Stick and no more sound distortion on that channel.

This unit seemed to work fine, but after only a few months the label started to discolor even though it was inside. I'm not sure if this was related to the powered antenna I had in the system (this was installed before the amplifier according to the label) or if it even affected the performance of it. It seemed to work and not impact performance negatively at all. After some changes on my end, I just omitted it entirely. My new antenna has a 4G filter built in, and given this seemed to be heading down the road of failure I left it out of the system entirely.

Unlike some of the less expensive filters, this Silicon Dust filter works outstandingly well, no matter the weather or other atmospheric conditions. Live within 500 meters of 2 cell phone towers, and get now get NO interference from 5G at all on all UHF channels. Channels 15Global and 17CityTv in Montreal were unwatchable and now perfect. One problem being the transmitters unfortunately have VERY low power and have difficulty competing with the adjacent cell tower 5G 600mhz frequencies. Found one other review with spectrum analysis pictures, helpful in choosing.

Greatly improves reception and clarity.

I had OTA reception for a few years and recently was seeing signal break-up, audio-video separation and pausing even on a channel that I could have the antenna laying on the ground and still get signal. We had a 5G antenna go up recently not too far away and read that could be the problem. Decided to give this brand a a go as they have some other great products I had used and they specifically referenced Canadian cell signals. Installed and all the problems are gone. Greta signal once again.

Silicon dust I have install on my system and do not work at all

I tried the "Philips LTE Filter 4G 5G LTE" first; went from 11 channels to 13... but things were just slightly better. With this SiliconDust LPF-608M LTE Filter, I went from 11 channels to 16, and they all were more stable, even channels with 30-50% signal strength came in well and with no visual issues. I'm using this with a SiliconDust Quadro Network Tuner + 1 connection direct to TV. All of this with a standard antenna booster (-7db input, many +8db outputs). Clear winner for me is the SiliconDust. Slightly more expensive (5-7$), but worth it. Your mileage may vary. All I think it did (for me) is filter out the interference that block long-range channels that I couldn't get before. I might just adjust my antenna direction a bit...
