3 out of 5 stars Motorola Signal Booster   October 6, 2008
Great for boosting incoming signal.
However I was under the impresison this would allow signal back through for things like On-Demand or 2 way communication needed for a cable modem. This was not the case.
Neather Cable Modem or On-Demand would work through this booster.



1 out of 5 stars Did not work with roof antenna   October 6, 2008
This product may work well for some people in some situations, but it did not work at all with my cable TV service transmitted to my rooftop antenna in Barbados - I got 0% improvement in signal strength. However, a tiny cheapo signal booster from the cable company did the trick in the end...kinda makes you go hmmmm.


4 out of 5 stars This seems to be working quite well!   October 3, 2008
I purchase this to use with my DTV antenna that I am installing on my roof. I have to split the signal 8-ways, so a signal booster is called for. This booster seemed like a good one since it did not have any gimmicky splitters built in like others I have seen. My house has a big central wiring panel and I have a very good splitter in the panel.

I know that putting the booster when there is only one cable/TV unit in the line and the signal is already good is not going to help; it actually can deteriorate the signal. This did exactly that. But, once I hooked up this amplifier to the exterior antenna and then to the house splitter (I only have 3 TVs hooked up, but since the splitter is an 8-way splitter it is still dropping the signal) everything worked much better than I expected! I have no signal loss at my DTV receivers. I find this hard to believe, but that is what the meters say on the receivers. There is no difference between having the antenna cable hooked up directly to 1 TV and having the booster, the splitter and the three TVs/receivers.

I should remove the booster and see what happens, but since everything is working so well I don't want to mess with it.

I guess I lucked out.



3 out of 5 stars Might work, might not   October 3, 2008
I read reviews that said this thing worked great but it didn't do much for me. Not saying it doesn't work at all, because I did get a couple more channels on my Comcast digital cable but it's still far from perfect.


5 out of 5 stars A must for a multiple TV household   October 3, 2008
This power amplifier worked exactly as described, was easy to set-up and is great value for the money. If you live in a home where you want to have HD reception on more than one TV than this product is a must.
