    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

    • installed it yesterday; definitely got more channels more often, stronger signals.
    • If you have an actual reception problem and get the "weak signal" message don't buy this.
    • The Yagi-type antennas with a boom and parallel elements (Winegard and Terk) proved to be much better at capturing the weak signal.
    • It stabilizes signals you are receiving and helps overcome the loss due to splitters.
    • She said the LNA-200 is not meant to boost weak signals at all
    • Mounting the antenna 20 feet above ground level provided ample signal strength to operate sets in four rooms after inserting a splitter in the attic
    • I just couldn't get any better signal, I'll just stick with the $30 flat TV antenna and not waste time or resources on this hi dollar platinum antenna.
    • I have a better signal
    • Signal from attic TV antenna is strong.
    • The amp brought my arbitrary and meaningless signal level numbers up 20 or so, 80s and up maxed out at 100, and one channel I really wanted that was only around 40-50 went up to a perfectly usable 70+.
    • This product will amplify a good signal but don't expect to pick up additional stations if you are not getting a decent signal from them.
    • It is a low-noise TV signal amplifier that cuts out interference from non-TV signals such as street lamps, power transformers, fluorescent bulbs and other sources
    • With the booster installed I get clear signals at all 3 TVs.
    • When I disconnect and bypass the black box only, I get a better signal
    • If there is a weak signal then you have to try with an outdoor antenna up to 30 ft high above the ground.
    • The LNA-200 boosted the signal so that those stations started coming through just as clearly as others.
    • This unit pulls in noise quitting signals from seventy miles away.
    • I attempted to boost a digital signal for a TV located in the basement but found the (weak signal) problem was with the TV and not the signal.
    • I also plan to split the signal to more than one TV, and some research suggested that a signal amplifier should do the trick
    • has weak signal
    • Not only did it not 'boost' the edge signals it reduced the 'good' signals by several db resulting in several disappearing
    • Attic instillation and another excellent FREE signal
    • and now they are clear with a decent signal, not a bad product.
    • I bought this to boost my weak 50+ mile signals.
    • Now they are all coming in with a very solid signal.
    • still getting the signal very weak issue some times
    • My home is in a rural area, on the fringe of usable digital signals from regional transmitters
    • The signals from the Winegard are clean and strong, though a few distant channels struggle.
    • Installed Winegard amplifier and it increased weak signals to a strength higher then by old antenna and was able to increase my scanned local channels from 15 to 23
    • I didn't had to use an amplifier to get proper signal
    • so I had to by pass this amplifier and as it turns out my signal is just as good without it.
    • This preamp cleaned up signal and really bost my over the air reception to give me a high improvement in high definition picture quality
    • I have crap cell phone signal strength because all the 'waves' go 100's of feet above and over me
    • It must not have been doing much to improve the signal, because I didn't notice any degradation in picture.
    • The antennas tested included an omni-directional indoor flat panel antenna from 1byone (50 mile range), and three directional antennas from Free Signal TV (Marathon model)
    • I also had added a Channel Master LTE Filter to the VHF Antenna that the 7777 was connected to and it degraded the signal even more
    • When the signals are available, they are very good.
    • AntennaWeb said we needed a 'PURPLE' antenna which is their rating for the weakest signal.
    • If you have a non-amplified antenna and you want to improve your signal look no further
    • It is not too big to be an "eyesore" (5 foot overall length) yet picks up crystal-clear signals for me up to 50 miles away (and sometimes beyond with a pre-amplifier)
    • This antenna provides rock solid signal to my two TVs using a coax splitter with no booster help
    • Strong signal (got some missing channels back after older cheapo amp burned out).
    • It simply boosts the signal after the antenna picks it up.
    • Definitely helped boost the signal to our Amazon Basics attic/outdoor antenna
    • According to Silicon Dust, they recommend a minimum of 60% strength and you could tell we didn't have enough signal strength on many of the channels as they glitched in and out frequently
    • Really boosted the signal.
    • As I said, this preamp fixed it completely and regardless of the weather or time of day my signals are strong and picture quality is perfect
    • I added this device up at the antenna, and I now have 25 channels with a stronger signal on the those that were previously marginal
    • 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.
    • Did not help me or improve my signal
    • , I hooked it to two tvs, but remember to use a (all power pass splitter), cost about $10.00 and hook it up after the booster plug in, I tried to boost my signal last year (different product
    • This device probably works but when you have a strong signal already (Plano from Dallas), this device ruins the signal.
    • Occasionally, for no apparent reason, even on the clearest of nights, our NBC signal will freeze, drop audio, or show artifacts momentarily - but just enough to ruin the program
    • This TV has a better signal than the ones that are connected to the roof top antenna.
    • Also, hot loosing signal during the shows anymore.
    • Nice and clean signal.
    • It is important to note that like any amplifier, this will not magically improve a weak signal at the actual antenna.
    • Boosted signal, Less bad weather dropouts.
    • Only a small hill, building, etc. may block a signal and limit the efficiency of both an antenna and amplfier
    • The signal was so much stronger, I went ahead and split the signal with my neighbor
    • Tried this to improve the signal from my outdoor antenna
    • Did a really good job of cleaning up the signal on my HDTV antenna
    • It improved my T V signal and was easy to install.
    • even if its winds it still has strong signal
    • I lose signal every few secs for about 3 seconds
    • There is no passive signal through this device, if the power is not connected or it fails, you lose your signal completely
    • Here is the good news, this antenna, like so many others, can receive strong signals off the back, and over to the side, so the best direction to point is at the weakest signals, then set your TV to scan for channels and see what you get
    • I use this with my Cable Cutter antenna and it seems to really help boost the signal
    • Its pushing the weak (70 mile distant transmitted signal) signal across 60+ feet of cable to two TVs in the house.
    • If you have enough signal to reach down your cable and over come cable loss, this will do nothing for you.
    • Getting a nice clean signal.
    • I've used cheaper RShack amplifiers before and dealt with poor signal quality or dropouts from oscillation
    • Almost 90 miles from signal source, made it through ice storm, never lost signal.
    • Helped to bring in a better signal to my TV.
    • I live in an unincorporated area approximately 100 miles from downtown Chicago, the signal is absolutely superb
    • Was getting decent reception with the winegard omnidirectional antenna, but had signal loss and pix-elation due to high winds and low flying aircraft
    • I was getting about %50 signal to noise ratio (SNR) on our most desired channel (NBC), and we are using a HDhomerun Connect with TPLink powerline ethernet adapters directly connected to the antenna mounted in the attic
    • I actually get a decent signal and with our without this preamp, but my signal will get weak occasionally during rough weather.
    • The signal is strong and the item is well constructed
    • It was significant enough that several high band UHF channels which showed decent signal at the antenna were completely lost in the lossy RG6 cable homeruns
    • I use it for one TV, and signal is sometimes spotty on a few channels, but usually fine.
    • Just remember it won't boost a signal that isn't there.
    • The signal is choppy and not the best but the booster enhanced the other Chanel's I was getting before
    • That said, I installed this on my AntennasDirect Element antenna in the attic, and it improved the signal tremendously, for $44 rather than the AntennasDirect product at $79.Two items must be plugged in to the coax antenna cable - the amplifier at the antenna, and a power inserter, probably at your TV
    • Here's how this, or any other, preamp works - The amplifier takes the very weak signal from the antenna, and boosts it so that it can be picked up above the noise at the other end of the line.
    • but apparently the signal is weaker and the V2 doesn't recognize
    • Great signal
    • My signal is coming in on high quality RG6 coax, and split to 3 TV's
    • I actually lost signal
    • It did not improve them because it cannot improve a signal that is not already there
    • Good antenna, does just what I needed, strong signal in wooded hilly rural area
    • doubled my signal, I love it.
    • All indications from my research were that I should get a pretty good signal and that a pretty "basic" (i.e. not high priced) antenna should be good
    • Excellent boaster that provide several additional channels in a limited signal area .
    • On my roof, which is at a very challenging location inland from the San Francisco bay area and about 36 miles from the Sacramento stations that are transmitting from Garden Grove, California, the Winegard FreeVision wasn't quite as good as the little UHF-only Eagle Aspen double bowtie but, because the Winegard FreeVision also has three horizontal rods, it worked somewhat (meaning it just barely got above the strength and quality thresholds to get a steady picture observing the meters on my test tuner) for channels transmitting on RF VHF (in my case, 9 and 10) whereas I tested the Eagle Aspen on a roof in San Francisco where it received the RF VHF channels 7 and 12 because of the extremely strong signal location
    • Hard to imagine that splitting the signal as is among multiple TVs would produce a clear picture on all, but I didn't try that.
    • Did not boost any signals that I know of .
    • Some of these channels are duplicates from surrounding metro areas, so I would caution certain people on the necessity of it, but there was a particular news station in my city with a weak signal that I now receive in HD, so I am very happy!
    • I was specifically trying to boost the signal on one specific channel
    • It can improve the strength of signal detected and in some cases it is possible to boost "fringe" signals enough to be visible
    • I always had weak signal on
    • It didn't boost the signal as much as i would've
    • This boosted my signal to zero
    • Your distance from the TV stations is one major factor in how well you will receive their signal with good results
    • We tried this booster on our TV and at my in-law's house (we both live in the same rural town), neither TV received a stronger signal, it was actually worse when connected to the booster in both cases.
    • I get a better signal with this amp compared to just the antenna
    • I would definitely recommend this amp for weak signals
    • I intended on splitting my signal to 4 different televisions
    • My main tv gets pretty good signal now
    • The unit is easy to install and the brand is an old trusted company from my childhood although it is probably owned by a foreign entity starting with C. Note: when power is interupted to the amplifier the signal degrades to less than if the amplifier was not installed.
    • Really boosts the signal to acceptable level.
    • After installing this antenna and raising the antenna several feet above my second story rooftop, I STILL didn't have a strong signal, according to my Tivo Roamio, and the digital image was routinely breaking up
    • I used to use 2 smaller antennas with boosters, fed into another booster, into a tv box (which has a booster), and then into the tv (which has a lousy signal processor)
    • Don't be thinkin' you can make a weak signal stronger
    • Did not improve my signal.
    • On the other hand, if you are trying to send an already acceptably error-free signal over a very long cable run, or to multiple tuners or through splitters, then an pre-amp is exactly the type of product that can help out
    • This did not improve the signal of my antenna when installed.
    • The signals are strong with no breakup.
    • Helps with my antenna, really boosts the signal
    • This replaced a 20-year-old preamp being used to boost signal from my OTA antenna onto my home distribution cabling
    • Just bought a preamp to boost the signal for that tv.
    • Would not recommend this amplifier if you have a weak signal.
    • Now I'm enjoying a maximum number of stations without signal loss or picture quality issues
    • Used this devise to get a better signal from FOX ( channel 5 and 20 ) and channel 7 NBC in Alexandria VA
    • This unit worked great Boosted signal and eliminated the noise.
    • I installed this preamp at the antenna and the power supply at where I split my signal and the result is amazing.
    • Product may be fine but it may just be a weak signal coming to the antenna.
    • After installing this antenna and raising the antenna several feet above my second story rooftop, I STILL didn't have a strong signal, according to my Tivo Roamio, and the digital image was routinely breaking up
    • And a perfect signal all the time
    • Not completely but severely cutting signal strength enough to not get 2 channel groups ( total of 5 individual channels) and cause 3rd and most important channel group to constantly drop below 20
    • I added a Winegard LNA-200 preamp and ran 50 ft of coax to the existing cable distribution box split the signal to my living room, and thru the wall to my nieces living room
    • But this WInegard masthead amplifier, put up on the mast only a foot from the antenna (so the weak signals are amplified BEFORE the long run of cable down to the TV) solved the problem neatly and easily.
    • It degraded my signal.
    • 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.
    • This will help boost weaker broadcast television signals
    • I've seen situations with decent signal strength with low quality led to poor quality image,as I've seen weak signals with high quality that provided excellent TV image
    • Installed the Winegard unit on my attic antenna (Clearstream 2V Long Range Antenna) and it made a significant improvement to the weaker signals
    • Because house is located behind a hill I had poor signal reception with the new antenna because I did not have the benefit of having it mounted on a 6 ft pole on the roof top
    • Didn't notice a difference in signal quality, didn't seem to boost signal.
    • Living on a hill helps with getting a good signal also.
    • What it did do was allow me to get a stronger signal to my other televisions through a 6 way splitter
    • For a pittance Tivo could have done the right thing and installed a pre-amplifier before splitting the signal, but no, they would rather let the customer struggle
    • I recently completed my cord cutting journey and wanted to boost my signal a bit since I had a few channels that would break up with my cheapo RCA in-line signal amplifier.
    • It does boost the signal
    • I boosted the signal with this Winegard LNA-200 Boost XT Digital HDTV Preamplifier
    • and when I turned the television on there was the picture, as perfect as could be and 90-100% signal on all stations
    • nearly 150ft)My signal was weak and much worse during rain or storms
    • Well for my application my signal got worse
    • didn't boost my signal at all - saw no improvement ... returned
    • It helped, but didn't boost the signal as much as I expected.
    • Winegard tech support said signal was probably too strong because I also had an amp splitter
    • Although amplifiers can improve a weak reception signal to some degree, they are more capable and beneficial by maintaining the strength of signals as they leave your antenna and travel to your HDTV.
    • Amazing signal boost
    • Amazing signal boost
    • oddly the electronics in the 300:75ohm box work well at boosting the VHF signal when I used a quality 15db amplifier, but didn't do anything for increasing the UHF SVI 1 Port Cable TV/HDTV/Digital/Modem Amplifier signal levels also vary by tuner - with older ota+qam flat screen tuners picking up better than newer atsc converter boxes.
    • After having very limited success with two different distribution amps (the white, metal box kind), I took a bet on this Winegard since it seemed designed specifically for OTA applications, rather than boosting any signal from antenna, cable, or satellite
    • Here's how this, or any other, preamp works - The amplifier takes the very weak signal from the antenna, and boosts it so that it can be picked up above the noise at the other end of the line.
    • This boosted the signal from an old - but big - antenna in the attic to where I can get broadcast tv from 50+ miles away.
    • I'll get a stronger signal..
    • The signal is choppy and not the best but the booster enhanced the other Chanel's I was getting before
    • No appreciable gain in signal and actually a better signal with it disconnected.
    • I use it for one TV, and signal is sometimes spotty on a few channels, but usually fine.
    • Well... That antenna required me to buy another amplifier to get a sufficient signal to my amplifier in the basement, but I still continually dealt with pixelization
    • I can even receive a weak signal from the CW station that is in the opposite direction to where this directional antenna is pointed
    • The signal had got a lot weaker but there was still a signal
    • This thing really boosts the signal
    • What I gained is strong signal for national broadcast, i.e., ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC and local specific to my city
    • Unfortunately, I am not getting any better reception on the VHF channels, which were the ones that I really wanted to improve the signal on.
    • I actually get a decent signal and with our without this preamp, but my signal will get weak occasionally during rough weather.
    • The confusing thing was when the conditions seemed to be the best for a good signal, that's when I was having the most trouble keeping lock on the station
    • You are simply trying to maintain and improve the signal's loss of strength after it leaves the antenna and starts going through all the components and eventually to your TV
    • Signal works a lot better after I put this on.
    • I combined it with the Channel Master CM-7778 pre-amplifier, and my signal is good; I probably could get a better signal if I raised it further or purchased a larger version, but it works well enough to meet my needs.
    • He also days because his pole is so long (tall), that it moves in the wind and they get a bad signal if it's windy
    • The only additional things I did, which apparently helped some too to reduce the noise and increase the signal/noise ratio, was to buy like 12 ferrite choke cores and attach several near each ends of the lines (even 2 at each end of the 3 foot lines), and at each end of the tv power lines, and this seemed to help reduce noise also.
    • Seemed to improve the signal enough to receive some stations not expected.
    • Could not imagine how strong signal would be if installed properly.
    • Actually lost signal when it was hooked up
    • Poor performance is one thing but this junk actually blocked the antenna signal
    • I read up on weak signal strength and having a long coaxial run to your
    • I am very pleased, glad to have my super clear digital signals back
    • Here is the good news, this antenna, like so many others, can receive strong signals off the back, and over to the side, so the best direction to point is at the weakest signals, then set your TV to scan for channels and see what you get
    • This was a major upgrade and it gave me better reception of the weaker signals that would drop out from time to time, mostly when I wanted to watch them
    • If you have barely enough signal and a long run of coax, this will over come the cable loss.
    • Works great to boost the antenna signal.
    • The signal was so much stronger, I went ahead and split the signal with my neighbor
    • Did not boost much signal/
    • Surprisingly good at weak signals, especially Ch 11 NBC in the SF Bay Area.
    • Signal actually got worse with it installed
    • Use this amplifier if you have strong signal at the antenna, but want to use that signal for many TVs
    • You are going to have to mount one part next to antenna, which in my case meant climbing on the roof, but if you've been trying to get a clear signal you probably spent time there already.
    • It is important to note that like any amplifier, this will not magically improve a weak signal at the actual antenna.
    • Connecting directly to one TV, I received the expected channels, but the signal was a bit shaky on a few
    • Also, hot loosing signal during the shows anymore.
    • I bought this to boost the signal between my antenna and powered splitter
    • Works great... boosted the signal a lot and got several new channels.
    • is one of the problems with weak signals.
    • After moving antenna numerous times i could never get back to a decent signal
    • This device probably works but when you have a strong signal already (Plano from Dallas), this device ruins the signal.
    • definitly boosts signal and has easy to follow instructions
    • Very clean signal.
    • You can top it off with a low noise amplifier, unless you live near a CB or HAM transmitter, or an arc welder = any of those will momentarily break up a digital signal.
    • Strong signal (got some missing channels back after older cheapo amp burned out).
    • Adding noise is not a major problem because the signal was strong to begin with
    • Go to http://www.fcc.gov/guides/antennas-and-digital-television and enter your physical location, then make sure you are grabbing as good a signal as you can
    • We live in a bad signal area
    • i've tried multiple antenna and preamp configurations including a channel master 7777; which might be a good preamp if you have a decent signal and a very long cable run, but in my situation it caused lots of pixilation and dropped signals
    • The pre-amp boosted the signal so that it was almost equal to the Chicago signals.
    • So, I contact their customer support, and they say, "you are overdriving your tuner, the signal is too strong for the tuner
    • TVfool.com's reception map has us in the red-grey area (weak to very weak signal) for all possible stations.
    • Unit did nothing to improve my signal; As a matter of a fact, it actually killed some channels altogether.
    • 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.
    • The signals from the Winegard are clean and strong, though a few distant channels struggle.
    • I wanted to improve the signal because it cuts in/out during stormy weather on some channels
    • We are about 75 miles from tower transmitters an still get good signals with RG6 shielded cable.
    • I bought this to boost my weak 50+ mile signals.
    • If you aren't already receiving a good error-free signal from your antenna, then purchasing a pre-amp isn't going to solve that issue for you.
    • I was trying to improve the signal to my stations that are over 36 miles away but all in the same general direction
    • Not only did it not 'boost' the edge signals it reduced the 'good' signals by several db resulting in several disappearing
    • 50%, an amplifier will give you a solid signal insuring optimal reception
    • Definitely boosted our antenna signals.
    • I have a run of 30 foot and it royally improved my signal for the weak channels.
    • I attempted to boost a digital signal for a TV located in the basement but found the (weak signal) problem was with the TV and not the signal.
    • all the previous channels now have a very strong signal, so put this
    • I've used this to boost my TV antenna signal over a very long (500-foot) coaxial cable run.
    • Adding this amplifier improved the signals to the sole TV (improving the shaky ones to "good") and enabled splitting to other TVs
    • I tried using a signal amplifier to see if it might be used for multiple TVs, but the signal was worse with the amplifier even on one TV.
    • The first thing to help you determine any prospective attempts to correct a signal would be to check your antenna
    • In many cases (unless you split signal to more than two tv's) this will be all you ever need
    • If you do this and get good signal for all stations, you can stop reading right now
    • It boosted the signal quite well for Atlanta transmitters that are about 25 miles away.
    • I do not have cable TV and use a very small antenna mounted in the attic which worked well but was suffering from intermittent lost signal and picture pixellation issues
    • I got a better signal and 2 outputs.
    • It did exactly what I wanted it to do... it boosted the signal of my antenna and I got 15 channels I didn't have before.
    • one did the trick and improved the signal to my TV
    • However, once up, it will lock signal like a champ.
    • She said the LNA-200 is not meant to boost weak signals at all
    • This will help boost weaker broadcast television signals
    • I've seen situations with decent signal strength with low quality led to poor quality image,as I've seen weak signals with high quality that provided excellent TV image
    • With no booster our antenna (in the attic) gets 3 stations with a mediocre signal
    • but I was expecting more clear signal.
    • It gave me at least 1/4 better signal strength and much more stability!
    • I need to boost the antenna signal at the splitter
    • The naysayers said the radiant barrier would kill the signal
    • It has allowed me to stabilize my OTA signal in a real fringe area in South Orange County, CA
    • This is an excellent antenna and pulls in a strong signal from about 75 miles away
    • This is the best signal booster that I've used
    • Works great, provided you live in a location that has decent signals
    • I perceive a strong signal has resulted.
    • Here, in the NC mtns, signal overload is not a problem; but weak signal is a big issue
    • Boosted signal, Less bad weather dropouts.
    • If the antenna signal is weak, you need to amplify the signal while adding as little noise as possible
    • The signal was great but when we added a splitter, the signal deteriorate a
    • Now I can feed the signal through the splitter in the wiring panel and hook up several TV's and they all work great
    • mounted in attic, picking up stations 50 miles away, splitting signal between to televisions
    • I installed it 50 feet from the antenna to boost signal another 40 feet to my tv.
    • I had hoped this would clean the signal up and maybe pull a few more stations that are on my fringe area
    • After installation of the LNA-200 it appears to have boosted the signal enough to resolve the problem for good
    • In areas distant from TV transmitters, overcoming this loss is necessary since the signals are already weak.
    • I lost signal strength and stability
    • It boosts the signal but not enough.
    • , I guess that I have stations that too close to me and the CM7777 is so powerfull that override the stations with strong signal.
    • Before with Channel master i have in my Vizio TV only 3 line signal, today by Winegard have 5 full power signal and the channel 49 Telemundo Tampa is a full 1080 signal and 72 Channel in the air, congratulation for de design
    • boosted my signal at the start
    • I have a home right in Phoenix, but do I get a great signal
    • Sturdy, light weight, lab tested, Stronger signal (especially for high VHF)
    • Some call it enhancing signals, but with every decibel of amplification the amplifier also adds a little "noise" or detracting interference
    • My antenna was professionally installed and the strongest digital signals were measured at the antenna
    • I bought this antenna because the medium range antenna I previously used wasn't producing a strong enough signal in spite of the fact that I'm only about 15 miles from transmitters
    • ..and the signal is strong, with minimal dropout
    • Third check again step 1 and 2.If there is a weak signal and you insist to get free TV then hiring and expert to do the job might be a good option.
    • Set up was easy, used my iphone's compass to point the antenna north, split the signal to two TVs and got much better signal strength and 9 more channels without even turning the rotator!Very pleased with this antenna!
    • What it will do is boost the weak signals so they aren't lost over splits or long coax runs
    • I previously had the RCA ANT751 which was good and compact, but it just didn't have the power to get a strong signal consistently.
    • Signal is great with this product.
    • It may produce a weaker signal.
    • Be careful if you need to split the signal to more than one TV - either the splitter must have pass-through capability, or you need to install the power inserter on the antenna side of the coax cable.
    • I was surprised about it's ability to handle strong signals without over driving the devise
    • Although the installation site did had a couple relatively strong VHF and UHF stations in the area, I experienced no signal overload at the tuners, i.e. IM distortion, or fundamental byproduct distortion
    • It is big but, light and pick up clear TV signals
    • It gave me a little better signal.
    • so far so good, definitely increased the signal on the hard to get channels
    • Don't really work that good still can't get signal on some channels very good
    • I have always had a pre-amplifier to boost the signal
    • Simple installation, and cured my weak signal
    • In my case, I was close to getting solid signals to my tuners, but it took the Winegard device to overcome the loss from the extended coax run I have
    • This unit boosted the down signal not as mush as I had hoped but the SNR db level did improve
    • This amplifier boosted my signal enough so the weaker stations do not drop out.
    • This amplifier boosted my signal enough so the weaker stations do not drop out.
    • I put this amplifier on a DB8 bowtie antenna and it brought in several of the weaker signal stations.
    • If you live in the Cleveland OH area, you know CBS has a weak signal and often doesn't come in very
    • Great signal coverage for hilly locations with trees
    • If you have very poor signal at the antenna, invest in higher gain antenna(s) first; then add this amp to optimize signal levels to give the most stable signal reception at the TV across the VHF-UHF band
    • When testing this antenna in my easterly facing backyard, on my deck, pointed through my house, I still a got great signal.
    • If you have very poor signal at the antenna, invest in higher gain antenna(s) first; then add this amp to optimize signal levels to give the most stable signal reception at the TV across the VHF-UHF band
    • We installed it anyway and received excellent signal exceeding specification.
    • Either the unit is defective or the unit does not provide any effective signal gain.
    • Also found and old Winegard BC-782 Booster-coupler up there, and when I connected things through it, it boosted my channel count to 45, but the additional 13 channels all had poor signal strength
    • I live in a rural area 14 miles from transmitters but with signals that must reflect off 2 edges use it with an attic mounted antenna (Solid Signal Xtreme
    • but unfortunately it killed my signal altogether.
    • Simple installation, and cured my weak signal
    • But it does Boost UHF signals quite nicely if it didn't have such a negative effect on
    • Generally it would help to improve reception for some channels but don't expect miracles if the signal is poor(noisy).I could see 30-50% percent improvement in signal level accompanied by an improvement in signal quality for most channels
    • But the signal is so poor that the picture only shows up for a few seconds now and then
    • However it does not capture the signal as well as I expected
    • If you have a marginal signal or long cable runs with high signal loss, this amplifier is the right tool for the job
    • Adding this pre-amp boosted the signal strength to 50 percent on channel 11 which is now a good stable signal day or night.
    • I now receive over 30 channels and the reception is great with good signal strength
    • I was able to pick up every major channel and have a strong signal as well.
    • For my situation, the signal from the one weak TV station is more stable and at maximum strength without a preamplifier in the circuit
    • It cannot improve the signals coming into the antenna
    • I then installed the amp and found we boosted reception signal by either 5 or 6, we did rescan, and the two channels were now available on each set, and they were still available for lease (head scratcher)
    • Great signal levels for all my HD channels
    • This has boosted my TV signal on a few stations that I never got well.
    • Interestingly; my tuner still shows perfect signal level and quality at channel 44
    • What it will do is boost the weak signals so they aren't lost over splits or long coax runs
    • I’m very impressed by the ability of the Winegard HD7694P antenna to capture and deliver a stable signal from a weak, low-power TV station within the claimed 45-mile range
    • Set up was easy, used my iphone's compass to point the antenna north, split the signal to two TVs and got much better signal strength and 9 more channels without even turning the rotator!Very pleased with this antenna!
    • It's not only the signal is more stable and giving me more channels ( North San Jose, CA )
    • If you split the signal for more than one TV, you will likely need some type amplifier to over come the four or more DB splitter loss.
    • I split the signal to 5 locations over 300+ total feet of coax.
    • Now in the digital age, the FCC and TV Fool say we should get strong signals from all of local networks but with the small and medium antennas that were suggested, we got no signals from any of them
    • Good signal booster for regular TV input.
    • Doesn't seem to improve our signal very much.
    • It made a distinct difference for the better...boosting the signal so that the problem was not nearly as bad.
    • It boosts the signal but not enough.
    • This item DID NOT improve the OTA HDTV signal for my High Def TV.
    • boosts my signal
    • I now have all channels in my market with 100% signal quality and no breakup
    • Boosts weak signal for great tv reception.
    • Came inside and got all the previous channels I had gotten with the my [previous indoor antenna at a much stronger signal
    • Maybe it amplifies too much and the signal gets distorted?
    • With this amp I would receive these channels for awhile then I would lose signal
    • The signal was great but when we added a splitter, the signal deteriorate a
    • I was amazed we didn't get good raw signals from all the stations
    • I was having a problem with losing the signal on my local CBS affiliate only at times, especially in high winds.
    • Just don't expect it to improve TV signal where there is none
    • This fixed my intermittent signal we were seeing with a few channels
    • The LNA-200 effectively eliminates the line loss associated with this long coax run and boosts the signal well enough that even with a splitter, our three televisions are receiving a very healthy signal
    • The LNA-200 effectively eliminates the line loss associated with this long coax run and boosts the signal well enough that even with a splitter, our three televisions are receiving a very healthy signal
    • Boost TV signals with very low noise
    • When moved however the signal is more reliable
    • I upgraded from a similar size 30-year-old VHF antenna and smaller UHF antenna (both fell apart from old age) connected by a flat unshielded wire to this Winegard HD8200U, triple-shielded coax cable, Winegard LNA-200 Boost XT Digital HDTV Preamplifier, and Channel Master CM3414 4-Port Distribution Amplifier for Cable and Antenna Signal.
    • and instantly I'll get a perfect signal again
    • TV antennas are a bit unpredictable, but this amp can help with weak signals, long cable runs and losses from splitters, but you may have to tweak antenna direction to get your best reception.
    • When I split the signal amongst three TVs the signal got weak.
    • Channel 11 didn't increase, but 83 indicates a strong signal with a perfect picture
    • Reception was good but would lose signal sometimes or very low where it would digitize the image.
    • does a great job bring in weak signals.
    • It did not improve my signal at all
    • 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.
    • 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.....
