Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have an expensive 30-year-old stacked array Winegard antenna system, that pulled in analog TV signals from hundreds of miles away long before digital TV came about. The system array still works perfectly after all these years. I had filtered UHF only and filtered VHF only pre-amps in operation as the antenna coax run was some 100' long before my home distribution amp. New nearby 4G and 5G towers had recently begun to cause pixilation and dropouts on my TV channels after the latest FCC frequency allocation changes. So, I decided to use my EE skills to see what I could do - despite I still had some 60 digital channels. After all, what's a degree worth if you don't use it. When I received my new Winegard Pure TV Boost LNA Pro Ultra-Low-Noise Amplifier, I was a bit dismayed by its small size - but went ahead and installed it. What I found was it does no blocking of interfering signals like my older, still working, pre-amps had. I had even installed tunable wave traps and frequency specific filters installed for most of the interfering signals with the old pre-amps. But, had to remove those after installing the new Winegard amp due to signal losses using the new amp. Even without the filtering, I lost channels with the new amp. I also found I had to turn off the new LNA switch amplification or I had severe harmonic interference - that caused severe interference with even strong channels. Even with the switch off, the distortion still affects several strong channels that were not having such problems with my older system. So, now, I have to install new blocking filters before I can turn the Winegard amplification back on. Hopefully, the new filters will stop the harmonic distortion, dB insertion losses, and allow amplification to be turned on again to restore the weaker channels I could watch before - even while using my very much older pre-amp and filtering system. I had already seen the new amp would receive those weaker channels and I could watch them with its amplifier switch turned on. The Bluetooth App was nice but is subject to annoying dropouts using my new Samsung Ultra 5G phone - even in close proximity to the small, included Bluetooth receiver. The App also didn't include some of my local channels and gave others with conflicting information. I've had to sort this out by making my own tower map. I really don't expect this Online App to be anything that will be operative for years to come, but that shouldn't be a problem after a correct antenna installation now. I just hope the small amplifier will last. I also didn't like having to create an account for the App to work nor the fact the app must be used to turn the amplifier switch on and off. A manual switch would have been much preferable for this. I had thought this new system would allow me to stay out of my attic more - so much for that. I'm still having to go in there to set everything up. At 70, I really don't need to be climbing in and out of an attic. Once the new cellular filters arrive, I had to order, I may be able to get this new Winegard system working well. But, I may return to my older system if the results are not positive using this new Winegard amp. New tech just isn't always very good, and this new system is missing known filtering features it should have included.

Excellent preamplifier. I went from 6 channels to 55 channels when I added the PureTV Boost LNA Pro to my outdoor antenna. The signal meter was easy to use and saved time during installation. Definitely recommend!

In my area we're challenged to receive much of anything that's not local. We're using it with a Clearstream 2 Max indoor/outdoor antenna which picked up great, but we knew more was available. This booster helped clear up whatever prevented being able to receive certain weaker stations. Of course, nothing can overcome physical obstacles, but this booster has made a difference. And it can be plugged in two ways: either on the wall or on the back of the TV so you don't have to take up a wall outlet!

The preamplifier and channel finder does a great job of helping you line up the antenna for max receptions.

Bought this to solve our weak over the air TV reception issues. Now going onto about 3 months, this unit has improved our reception signals and we now enjoy much improved FREE over the air TV. We've gain even more channels than what we found before. I recommend this to anyone having reception issues.

Buy an external antenna with a preamplifier built-in. Overall cheaper and less hassle.

live in nortern michigan out in the woods tv reception is not the greatest so i bought this to put on my antenna and it works great i get way more channels than i used to i recommend this

Works pretty good hoping a little better reception.

Much better range and less dropouts than before. The Android app I downloaded from the Google Play store didn't work at all so I got the beta app and it worked fine.

Definitely made a huge difference. Plus the phone app helps identify the stations near you.

I was needing to get an amplifier to help with reaching TV channels that would become pixelated in the evening. This device did not help. I returned it. Still looking for something to work effectively.

It didn’t increase our signal strength or do anything to clear up the reception. The signal was identical with or without the device. We returned it.
