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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
First impression the plastic is cheap, the circuit board is delicate
The signal was great but when we added a splitter, the signal deteriorate a
90%, an amplifier might not make any difference as you can't improve on that for a digital signal
Aside from that the housing of the delicate components is cheap plastic.

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.)
