This device is worth double what I paid. After swapping cables, which the cable provider claimed the problem was, and then swapping TV's, it was clear my problem was my TV. This device solved the issues of freezing and pixelating several times an hour. It was very frustrating and annoying. Every time it happened I'd have to switch channels and then back again and all was well for a few minutes or so. Since my issue was my TV, I had doubts something like this would help. After about 5 hours with this device I noticed just a couple times where it showed a quick flash of pixelation and if I'd have blinked at the time, I'd have missed it. This device does come with 1 cable but if you have just one other coming from the wall jack to the TV, you'll need 1 more, but they're cheap. Also, I had a question and called the company and they actually answered the phone within 5 minutes.

Excellent product, very easy to use. I had installed an OTA antenna some time back and was able to pick up most stations in my living room just fine, however, in my office I was missing several stations completely. Since they all run off the same antenna and I could get some stations in my office, I found this to be odd. So, I went ahead and purchased this unit along with a "PCT Series PCTMPI1G Power Inserter for Distribution Amplifiers" and had it up and running within a few minutes. Not only was the signal much stronger in my living room, but it was good and strong for all stations in my office also. Still need to run more cables elsewhere, but I'm positive this will handle them just fine.

You might ask why I got the "Power Inserter" mentioned above? This box is very well made and weatherproof, so I located it outside under my eaves where I split off antenna signal to my different rooms. However, the power supply that comes with it is made to hook directly in to the box and be plugged in right next to it, but I didn't have a power outlet there. The power inserter allows me to insert the power right before my TV where I do have power and use the same cable to go back to this box. Normally the power alone would go into the top left input shown in the picture, which is clearly marked. When using the power inserter, the bottom left plug is clearly marked as being available for both power and antenna combined. The two work great together.

That might be my only complaint is that I was a bit cautious trying to figure out what to use. It's not clearly documented in the descriptions. I was cautious in getting a different brand power inserter for this, had a "Channel Master" version been available on Amazon I would have gone with that. With some research I felt fairly comfortable going this way though. I would have gladly spent a bit more money to get a channel master distribution amp that included the power inserter with it though!!

IMPORTANT: Most people have no idea what this does, hence the bad ratings. It doesn't "boost" your antenna signal. It takes the signal your antenna received and then amplifies that so you can send it along the wire inside your house to your various TVs in different places. You might only get 10-20 feet from your antenna to your TV with a high quality cable. And you still may have signal loss as you go further away from your TV. This makes sure that you can put your antenna in the best place possible (highest and pointed at broadcast towers) and then you connect this device near to the antenna and run up to 4 cables out to the various places in your home that you need the TV signal.

Well built and solid piece of equipment. Glad I didn't buy the cheap ones and save just $3-5. This came with a cable and I've got it running at least 50-60 feet if not more to an TV input and it works extremely well. Without it there is absolutely no signal at all. I have 3 ports that I'm using and all are working perfectly for HDTV in various ranges, over 30 channels.

Brilliant. My Comcast cable feed was pixelating my wife's favorite HD Hallmark channels (e.g., blocky, choppy, broken picture and sound). The major HD channels were fine (NBC, ABC, etc.). We watch and record channels using a home theater PC (Ceton InfiniTV4 tuners + cablecard + Windows 8.1 Media Center + Samsung 40" LED + Harmony remote). The signal on the hallmark channels had dropped to about -10db. The major channels were about -6db. Months earlier I had dealt with a Comcast db drop and pixelation and had gotten these channels to -3 to -4 db by reducing my household cable splitter from an 8 port to a 4 port by disconnecting unused cable runs. Now the db had again dropped more and I was out of options. Comcast (and other "experts") had always said that amplifiers didn't work and usually just made things worse. I took a chance and first bought the 4 port version (adds +8 db to the signal) thinking that would push my worst signals to about -2db. Nope. All channel were now in the +db range with my major HD channels pushing +10db and they started to pixelate. I then got the 8 port version (+4.5 db) and now all my signals are in the +1-5 db range with no hint of pixelation and all channels checked worked fine (including my internet connection, which comes through the cable). Also, since it was an 8 port, I was able to reconnect all the cable runs to the rest of the house in case we ever wanted to use them. My biggest worry is Comcast will decide to fix their signal and then I'll be overpowered, but for the moment everything is working very well.

I have a roof-mount HD antenna pointed at our nearest tower 33 miles away. I just used the house cabling and splitter that DirecTV had left. The antenna was great for a while, but we started getting pixelated channels and others that were too weak to display. We're hosting a Super Bowl party Sunday and I couldn't chance the channel not coming in with 15 impatient viewers.

I installed the Channel Master amplifier outside our house where the old splitter was. The housing is nice and weatherproofed. I purchased a longer 25' coax cable to power the unit so that it would reach an outlet on the outside of our house; I plan to permanently power it via an outlet in the crawlspace though.

Immediately after connecting everything up, all of our weak and pixelated channels came in clearly! I'm amazed at how such a simple fix resolved all of our issues with weak signal and poor-quality splitters. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking to overcome degraded signal due to splitters or too many TVs hooked up to the splitter.
