Asked 1 year ago by Anonymous.

The amplifier requires power to function properly and distribute the signal to your TVs and router.

Q: QuestionHow would Rocketfish RFG1179 work with Fivestar 360' outdoor HD antenna? Also the connections as far as the Antenna and the power source to the Rocketfish adapter distance?

Asked 3 years ago by Bogie.

• A:Answer I have no way to test it but - in my opinion - if you have a weak signal to begin with, this will NOT Improve It. That has been my experience at my home. However, this should keep what signal you have strong to all 4 TV's rather than losing some in an un-amplified splitter. I also expect that the PoE should be good for 50' (rule of thumb).
