  • It replaced an old RS unit that did a good job for years but was getting weak.
  • Boxing was a piss poor job
  • I am in a difficult area for signal reception and the preamp and high end antenna do a good job.
  • Did a really good job of cleaning up the signal on my HDTV antenna
  • Does a nice job of improving the signal strength of our antennae

Reviews around picture (4.14 of 5)

  • so it is on a desk behind the tv pointed in the direction of the stations and the picture is crystal clear on all the channels we pull in which are many!
  • I set it up and it seemed to interrupt the connection so the picture was actually worse.
  • Really makes viewing TV nicer now that we can get a clear picture and lots of channels
  • I believe it helped the antenna I installed it in the attack and it picks up all the stations and my TV has the best picture it has ever had!
  • When one of the heavier showers came through, the picture finally froze

Reviews around work (4.08 of 5)

  • went from 13 channels to 40, very happy with the booster, was skeptical at first but works.
  • Some cheap F connectors from China cross thread or whatever, these work
  • Amplifier works very well with my Clearstream 2v Antenna
  • So ,I've got this antenna with the amplifier working very well
  • Although this works the first time I installed it, the signal strength on the impacted channels reverted back to the level they were before installing the amp.

Reviews around product (3.85 of 5)

  • This antenna is awesome , very fast shipping , great product !
  • and now they are clear with a decent signal, not a bad product.
  • this product did not work for me...actually fewer channels after install than before
  • This product didn't work until I put it's power source between the antennae and the amplifier
  • Product may be fine but it may just be a weak signal coming to the antenna.

Reviews around quality (3.57 of 5)

  • I've used cheaper RShack amplifiers before and dealt with poor signal quality or dropouts from oscillation
  • The TV transmitter is about 55 miles from my house, and without the preamp I only get around half of the available channels with around 75% signal strength and intermittent quality.
  • With the preamp, I get all of the available channels from the transmitter with 100% signal strength and perfect quality.
  • The HDHR software also allows you to see the "signal quality" which is very important b/c if you have a high signal strength, but the quality is poor, it won't make any difference in viewability.
  • It is important to note that this does not improve the quality of the signal coming from the antenna.

Reviews around strength (3.56 of 5)

  • My first thought was signal strength or noise level might be too high due to the amplification.
  • A must for areas where signal strength is hard to obtain.
  • Prior, I was receiving 7 channels and the signal strength was marginal to poor
  • I read up on weak signal strength and having a long coaxial run to your
  • Not only didn't improve my NBC signal strength, it actually caused issues on other channels that worked fine before I installed it.

Reviews around tv (3.45 of 5)

  • But to get free TV with this quality, you can't beat it
  • The Winegard antenna delivers a very stable signal at low strength (4 bars of 10) for the eight subchannels of the one weak TV station without any pixelation or image drop-out.
  • The Boost XT preamplifier works with any passive outdoor TV antenna
  • For my situation, the signal from the one weak TV station is more stable and at maximum strength without a preamplifier in the circuit
  • I did install and test the Winegard LNA-200 Boost XT HDTV Preamplifier with the HD7694P antenna, but it did not improve the reception signal strength of the weak TV station in my

Reviews around amp (3.04 of 5)

  • but no way to really know if the amp itself is working.
  • After taking the antenna back down and checking everything again, we determined the amp was dead
  • Some were less than good and when reconnecting the amp they were fine again so the amp is working.
  • If you have an outdoor antenna, you will benefit by not having your amp out in the weather, and lose almost nothing
  • When evaluating how well an amp works at your house, channel scan is not a very good indicator

Reviews around channel (3.04 of 5)

  • It help get reception if all available channels in my area and quadrupled the signal strength compared to no amplifier!
  • when I do there are more channels available south of me
  • Was able to pickup all the available channels for our area
  • Winegard did not capture any additional channels and it did not improve over Motorola on any channel
  • But lost some HDTV channels the old analogue antenna was getting.

Reviews around signal (3.02 of 5)

  • I bought this to boost the signal between my antenna and powered splitter
  • I used this antenna to replace an off-brand antenna of the same type because some of the channels were dropping out due to weak signal.
  • It simply boosts the signal after the antenna picks it up.
  • Product may be fine but it may just be a weak signal coming to the antenna.
  • It is important to note that like any amplifier, this will not magically improve a weak signal at the actual antenna.

Reviews around thunderstorm (2.33 of 5)

  • CM with a metal U bolt and nuts (more secure and easier to remove.)2
  • yah 34 miles out with a 2 story house blocking line of sight behind me as well as tech shield roof and working great =D
  • The next day, round two of severe thunderstorms hit, this time the wind wasn't as violent but would still qualify as severe at around 60 mph
  • No u-bolts to struggle with--easily attached to mast with included zip ties.
  • The ability of a TV tuner to "tune in" a particular signal depends entirely upon the difference in strength between the signal and the surrounding electrical noise, called the signal to noise (S/N) ratio.

Reviews around connection (2.11 of 5)

  • This product will not pull in channels your antenna is not already picking up and will not enhance the quality of your poor connections
  • Poor connections, poor antenna aiming and/or a long coax run will all result in degradation of received signals
  • , finely i realized i missed a connection that ties both side together
  • Then to make matter worse, the electrical connections inside of the balun are very poor so that all it takes is a few connects/disconnects to make them not work
  • I set it up and it seemed to interrupt the connection so the picture was actually worse.

Reviews around box (1.95 of 5)

  • It was windy for the paste few days an the antenna "box" became loose due to the wind
  • The very long box arrived a little worse for the trip but the contents survived nicely
  • Suspect the little adapter box for the cable is defective.
  • The box that attaches a a little flimsy and the contacts could be unreliable initially or after some weathered-use
  • The unit is a great initial idea... however the cheap board and box for the coax connection is SO cheap and poorly engineered

Reviews around weather (1.82 of 5)

  • Worked OK for about 1 month; once the weather became hot, it quit working
  • It didn't give me added channels but it gave me good reception through the bad weather.
  • Well, it did improve the reception a little (so it got 3 stars), but only for when the weather is perfect, no wind, no overcast
  • Both worked fairly well mounted in the family room under good weather conditions, but fared poorly during windy conditions, probably due to trees moving in the wind.
  • There are some signal issues when the weather is too bad, but I can live with that

Reviews around splitter (1.63 of 5)

  • The ability of a TV tuner to "tune in" a particular signal depends entirely upon the difference in strength between the signal and the surrounding electrical noise, called the signal to noise (S/N) ratio.
  • I would not recommend it, but would recommend a powered splitter
  • If you need to use a splitter, make sure you purchase a DC passive splitter which allows the DC voltage to move through the splitter and up to the amplifier through the coax cable.
  • It improved my T V signal and was easy to install.

  • It improved my T V signal and was easy to install.
  • This product (made in Iowa!) fixed our reception issues
  • I had hoped it would fix some of the reception issues I was having but no change
  • Resolved weak reception issues with some existing channels
  • As soon as I got the RCA ANT751R setup and connected to my Tivo Roamio the reception issues were resolved

  • so out goes the device; disappointing as this is one of the first items from Amazon that didn't work as it said it would.....
  • I am in a difficult area for signal reception and the preamp and high end antenna do a good job.
  • 90%, an amplifier might not make any difference as you can't improve on that for a digital signal
  • So... if what you are looking for is a "monster," wave sniffing antenna, to cure a spotty reception area, this is the best on the planet

Reviews around plastic (1.41 of 5)

  • Finally, the power injector power plug is made of very cheap plastic that creaks when you squeeze it too hard and doesn't feel like acceptably sturdy quality even though it is working.

  • The signal was great but when we added a splitter, the signal deteriorate a

Reviews around house (1.33 of 5)

  • Works great and I installed the preamp 15 feet down from antenna after cable enters house, not like you should: about 3 to 5 foot from antenna on the mast.
  • No u-bolts to struggle with--easily attached to mast with included zip ties.
  • The plastic housing for the cable termination fell apart and after 2 emails the company gave me a phone number that didn't work to call for a replacement part.
  • CM with a metal U bolt and nuts (more secure and easier to remove.)2
  • I have an antenna mounted in the garage(1 story) attic which gets decent reception, but not as good as the house antenna which is also mounted in the attic(2 stories.)
