In looking at the picture of the signal amplifier, there appear to be three coax cable connections. I had assumed (mistakenly) that this would equate to one input and two outputs. I was quite surprised when I received the unit and one of the coax inputs was intended for DC power. Instead of a normal DC adapter with a chord that plugs into the unit, this device requires a use of coax cable in order to send power to the unit. I cant imagine that a significant amount of money was saved by implementing this convoluted engineering shortcut. As to the function of the device itself, it seems to work fine, even when used with a splitter.

I purchased this signal booster to push the cable signal approx 300ft from my house to the garage. Before installing the booster I was unable to receive any channel that werent snowy in yhe garage. Now all the channels have a great picture. I could not believe my eyes when I saw the dramatic change in picture quality. This device is amazing and I highly recommend it to anyone having trouble with a snowy picture or trying to send the signal to multiple TVs. I have not tried it yet with my Comcast Cable WiFi due to there is only only one output. I am planning on purchashing a second booster for this purpose. Also this booster is very simple to install and comes with everything required to install a single signal boost. Buy this and you wont be dissapointed !! Also note that it is bi-directional which allows you to use this booster with a cable modem.

Picked this up on the strength of the reviews here. The DTV is working fairly well at my pad, but two stations are weak (drop outs), and I never could pick up one that I knew existed (58). Plugged the unit in (no more than 3 feet from the DTV converter box and immediately picked up 7 new stations. Cant see any signal degradation either. (Zenith DTV converter box, sony vega TV, and the old style roof antenna, one that never received UHF signals well). Great little amp!

This Drop Amp works great! I have a two story home with a several TVs at the far end of the house that never had clear pictures. They have always been grainy and just never looked right. Well after talking with the cable company they told me they could come out and put an amp on the cable to boost the signal and it would cost me a service fee plus the cost of the amp which would be a total of $150 bucks. I would have thought they should have fixed it for nothing. Luckily I talked with a friend of mine who had once worked for a cable company and he told me that I could get an amp myself and recommended one of these. So I bought one and installed it myself! It took maybe ten minutes to get this thing up and running! I also found "thanks to the cable company" they had extra splitters in my cable run in the attic that was not needed "this will also degrade your signal". Now my TVs have clear pictures and look great all for $35 bucks!

I ran wire in my attic to provide the coax power supply which I really enjoyed. It gave me a sense of accomplishment. Next, I connected my internet and cable box. Then the trouble began. The cable modem started to malfunction so I disconnected that line. Finally, the cable box went out. It just had zero on it. I guess the cable company thought I was using my box inappropriately. But I am not. The signal on my bedroom television was weak and this amplifier solved that problem completely. It is awesome, but you cannot use a cable box or internet modem. I actually bought the 4 way splitter but the hardware is the same so beware.

I have tried signal boosters in the past with limited success. This is the first one that works fantastically well. The improvement in picture quality is astounding.
