No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot compatible with Fios
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this on the recommendation of one of the employees. However when I returned home, I still could not split my cable feed to use a set top box and router off the same line.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDid not improve the reception much
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this as an open box item and returned it also. This little box did nothing to improve the video at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendWhere do you get a high quality splitter
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fios tech said it was not up to the job and replaced it. You just can’t get a high quality splitter
No, I would not recommend this to a frienddid not work for me :-(
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I currently have the Clearstream 4Max in my garage. I thought I could use this to amplify the antenna signal and get more channels and/or increase signal strength. Unfortunately, it did the opposite... I lost 75% of my channels and it did not improve the picture quality of the few channels I did get.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDidn't work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It made no difference that I could discern for any of my devices, so I returned it. I gave it two stars because I am feeling generous.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot Real Good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Power input has to wiggle around to get light to come on. I am going to mark yes on the recommendation because maybe is not available.
I would recommend this to a friendnot happy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Price is to high. Got a better one at another store . Got a more powerful output of 10dB instead of the 4dB that Best Buy sold me !

Didn't improve anything.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was to replace a commercial quality drop amp and 4 way splitter as separate amplified outlets are supposed to be better than using an amp and splitter setup. This made no difference. I returned this, bought a PCT commercial quality unit and get more channels.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendStopped working after 3 weeks
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked ok for the first 3 weeks. Helped a little but made a handful of channels worse. Then out of no where stopped working all together. On indicator light is on but my tv's say theres no signal. If i disconnect it and hook up a regular splitter works fine. DO NOT BUY COMPLETE JUNK.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNah, did not improve my signal
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Did not improve my signal, so don’t expect “many more” channels with this splitter.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot what I thought it would be
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought it to better receive a few of my local channels but I am disappointed in its performance
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDidn't work on my cable modem
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this to add a boost to my cable modem's weak upstream signal. Not only did it not boost signal, it blocked the upstream entirely. I'll be returning it. Not a good fit for my needs.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDoesn't work
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Plugged it in, the channels immediately got WORSE. Some of them dropped completely! Left it on for a little after re-running the channels via our TIVO, didn't get better. Waste of money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNo improvement in signal.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Did not help boast signal. Returned the item. Would not recommend.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendItem not needed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did not need this item. I purchased it incase the signal strength was weak and would need to be boosted. The outdoor antenna I purchased along with this item worked well and supplied a strong and steady signal without the bidirectional booster.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendOver priced for what it does
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wasn’t worth the money spent a standard spitter did a better job wouldn’t recommend
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDoesn't work for Xfinity!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing didn't work at all. The cable box and router hooked into it kept cycling causing the router to reset about every hour and same with the cable box. Took this thing off and used a standard splitter and everything worked perfectly!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendIt was used for 3 weeks
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The item was too expensive for what it was. It actually doesn't act any different than any other splitter.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendUltimately not necessary
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not needed ultimately, I would not recommend as it did not boost signal worth anything.
