Rating: - Gave me lower signal strength
After hooking up my DTV converter box my signal strength was at 50-60%. After hooking up this amp my signal dropped to 19%, at best, and lost 5 channels!
Rating: - Better?
I had a 12 db amp for my outside antenna, living on a fringe area for tv reception. I decided to try out a
24 db amp. Picture was definitely better; except for channel 11 VHF, I couldn't pull it in. All the other channels
came in good, 2,4,7,9,13, but channel 11 refused to come in clear. Had to go back to my 12db amp and got
it good. Must have been a drop out inside the amp for channel 11. To cheap to send back, so I guess I'll
junk it or keep it as a partial spare amp. :-(
Rating: - Look out for amplified interference
I purchased this amplifier because the signal from our VHF/UHF roof-mount antenna was being lost in a sea of cables and splitters I recently added to our home.
My first test with the new amplifier involved running an extension cord to the roof so that I could connect the amplifier directly to the antenna. To my surprise the results were terrible. Several channels actually disappeared. Others worked poorly.
I bundled up the amplifier in anticipation of returning it. But then I had another thought. I wondered if the VHF and FM signals that saturate our valley were ... Read More
Rating: - Two Bad Units
I bought one of these to amplify the signal of my outdoor TV antenna. As recommended, I connected the input to the coax which goes directly to the antenna. The output went to two TV sets and two PVR's about 100 feet away.
Instead of improving the signal, several stations would no longer come in at all! Assuming I had bought a defective unit, I returned it for another. Same result! I spent several hours reconfiguring the connections to determine if perhaps there was something I was doing wrong or if some connection was bad. In the end I had one wire going directly from the antenna ... Read More
Rating: - Philips PH61111 Amplifier Compares Favorably with Motorola Model BDA Signal Booster for HDTV
I compared the two signal amplifiers in an over-the-air antenna situation. The antennas (both VHF/UHF - digital) were outdoor type with from about 50' to 75' of coax cable connected to an HDTV. Also tested on an analog TV.
The Philips PH61111 is meant for indoor use, is black, and has two output terminals, a convenience. It's lightly built, and reminds me of the boosters that have been available at Radio Shack for years (decades). Has a convenient power on light. Connects directly into AC via two pronged cord. Comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Made in China. Amplification is ... Read More
