Winegard - Boost Indoor Digital TV Antenna Amplifier - White

I picked this item up in hopes that it would turn my cheap antenna into one that actually picked up a few stations. It did, but only 2 more channels. In addition to this amp, I picked up another more expensive antenna to see if that would make a difference. Using the amp with the more expensive antenna did the trick yielding the most channels and best quality picture of any other combination of gear I have. I should also note that this amp can be powered by either a free USB port of your TV or using an optional USB/wall jack adapter. Surprise! ...because Best Buy does NOT show this in the picture of the amp as of this post (but Best Buy DOES mention this in the item description). Fortunately, I had a spare USB port on my TV, so the amp hides so very nicely behind the TV - well done, Winegard! As this is the first TV amp I have ever purchased, I do not have anything to compare it to. That said, it seems to work well for what I purchased it for.

It made a noticeable difference in signal quality...not huge but worth the relatively small price

Purchased two(2) for my Dad's TVs because he refuses to get Cable or Satellite. He now gets the same channels in the kitchen and his bedroom that he gets in the den using an attic antenna.

This works excellent with antenna tv. Eliminates most pixels and increases reception. I have one on my bedroom and living room tvs. With this and an tv antenna, I have been able to cancel my expensive cable and go to "free" tv. What a savings! This will pay for itself several times in just one month on the cable savings. Please do not misunderstand me, this does not pick up or aid in receiving cable channels unless you subscribe to cable.

Having the unit in circuit, I was able to receive a few more stations but not all the local stations that should be available in my area - CBS, NBC, FOX, ABC, H&I, CW, PBS, LIW, NYC, ION... I get some of them some of the time and others most of the time, partially because of atmosphere but still this should pick up and amplify signal. I am only 30 miles from transmitters
