    Winegard LNA-200 Boost XT HDTV Preamplifier, TV Antenna Amplifier Signal Booster, HD Digital VHF UHF Amplifier (10x Power, Low Noise, 20 dB Max Gain) - USA

    • This is the best passive AMP you can get
    • Great pre-amp booster
    • If you are solidly grounded in TV technology, you will know there are other factors that are very important in making a good amp
    • A year and a half after installing, the pre amp stopped working
    • We installed this amp on 11-6 and it failed on 11-8.This item lasted less than 48 hours before it failed
    • Pre-amp doesn't work.
    • The amp works fine for UHF, but I need more boost on the VHF (HI) digital stations.
    • Research showed that Winegard's Pre-amps are among the "cleanest" and strongest Pre-amps available.
    • Great Pre-Amp
    • Pre-amp does not work.
    • Very good amp.
    • This amp works with the silicondust hdhomerun extend
    • After taking the antenna back down and checking everything again, we determined the amp was dead
    • The first amp was faulty and did not work
    • I got this amp, I had a cheaper amp that I just placed inline by the TV
    • If your antenna with no amp, cannot pick up a somewhat usable picture, forget the a Amp as it will not work
    • The pre-amp boosted the signal so that it was almost equal to the Chicago signals.
    • This Amp is a winner especially at this price point.
    • This amp cleared up some weak channels for me.
    • They work fine as pre-amp
    • -18-2018This amp has gone through hurricane/tropical storm rain, 100+ degrees, and freezing 22 degree days here in North Florida and still works perfectly after 3 years of continuous use along with my RCA ANT751Z antenna.
    • I was going to replace my cheap RCA amp and the Winegard wasn't even half as good.
    • This amp has a gain of 18-20db
    • Preamps are sometimes better than distribution amps because they have a lower noise factor.
    • I had previously used an amp that came with a Monoprice 60 mile antenna, but surely a dedicated purpose built antenna amp would work better.
    • but no way to really know if the amp itself is working.
    • Yeah, this one is twice the price of the most-popular RCA Pre-amp (sold at Menards, Walmart, etc.), but you're getting more than twice the dB boost AND the boost is applied separately to each frequency range (boosts VHF separately from UHF).
    • This is an excellent pre-amp for over the air antenna systems
    • made a big difference, was able to pull in the local NBC channel when i installed this amp, easy to install
    • Simple to install, the power for the preamp is injected into the cable itself so powering the amp isn't a bother, and it works beautifully.
    • In laymen terms the amp is as good as it gets
    • We purchased a cheap RCA AMP and we received the same amount of channels.
    • Some were less than good and when reconnecting the amp they were fine again so the amp is working.
    • This amp WORKS
    • Great amp
    • A pre-amp won't improve anything
    • This is a good quality pre-amp.
    • This is the best passive AMP you can get
    • Especially while there old amps work so well
    • I had tried a couple of much less expensive amp options but was looking to maximize reception
    • When evaluating how well an amp works at your house, channel scan is not a very good indicator
    • Did not realize the pre-amp was defective and we checked everything else first.
    • I got this Great pre-amp
    • Then again, the amp may have just increased noise and made FM signal separation more difficult; would have been nice to try that, though
    • I won't go into them here, other than to say my observations are that this amp performs amazingly well
    • Originally, I was using an 18db amp but on the tail end of the feed before I split it into multiple feeds (about a 100-foot run, not including the lengths after the split, although my split is not simply an RF splitter but a Motorola drop amp).
    • Sad to say, this amp is going back to Amazon
    • I can't place the amp right at the antenna
    • I thought get a better amp might fix the problem
    • Good little amp......easy to install
    • It did much better when I got a Boost LNA-200 Pre-Amp on there
    • Either the amp is defective or doesn't work in my application
    • I can highly recommend this amp.
    • These are great pre-amps if you're in a low to medium off-air signal area
    • If you have an outdoor antenna, you will benefit by not having your amp out in the weather, and lose almost nothing
    • One of the best pre=amps I have used.
    • Coupled with a good rotor (I suggest Channel Master - a one-time $75-$100 investment for the top-of-the-line model) plus a good Wineguard pre-amp (about $40-$45) plus mounting on a permanent stationary triangular tower (mine is an American tower brand - been using it for 30 years at a 35" height - cost around $700 new - and it is still going strong after 30 years) you can get 80-100 stations clear as a bell (in uncompressed HD signal too) at no cost beyond the antenna and other parts
    • Best rejection, Good amp frontend all I use on three antenna
    • I thought get a better amp might fix the problem
    • I would definitely recommend this amp for weak signals
    • Winegard amp provided about 9% gain in signal strength
    • This amp doubled the number of stations I can receive
    • I bought this one after the more expensive Titan amp started dying on me in the cold.
    • 90%, an amplifier might not make any difference as you can't improve on that for a digital signal
    • The signal was great but when we added a splitter, the signal deteriorate a
    • The antenna was missing a
    • 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.....
