I have used a Radio Shack Antenna Amplifier on my attic antenna even before the switch over to digital. It worked well and allowed me to receive signals over 25 miles from my location. The new unit has 2 outputs which means you don't need a splitter to connect 2 TV's, as the splitters inject an additional 3 to 4 DB loss of signal when you insert one. I would recommend this amplifier to anyone needing the additional signal boost, as digital TV requires better signal to noise than the old analog transmissions. You also need to consider your distance from the stations which determines the antenna required and also the coax cable losses from the Amplifier to the TV's.

I was hoping that it would solve poor reception problems that I attributed to the previous antenna amplifier I was using. But this unit made no difference whatsoever. This unit includes a small gain adjustment knob, but it doesn't do anything at all; it makes no difference (I have a TV with a signal strength meter, so I know that nothing changes when I turn the adjustment knob).

The adjustable gain is very necessary in remote locations. I receive two stations whose signal will break up if the gain is too low or too high; it has to be set just right. This amplifier works well, but the "outdoor" amp is sensitive to lightening strikes. This is the 7th amp I've had to buy over a 20 year period. If lightening strikes within about a quarter mile of my house and I have not disconnected my antenna first, then the outdoor amp will cease to work on 2 or 3 of the channels I receive. By the way, I properly installed a lightening surge protector between the antenna and outdoor amp, but it did not completely solve the problem. If you never get lightening ground strikes where you live, then you have nothing to worry about with this amp, but if you do get them, be careful.

The product halped with my lomg range issues. My problem is a big tree filled hill cutting signal that pixelates the picture on a few channels. tries o channel master for more $'s with the same reults

Base antenna amplifier works so well that I run the second amplifier provided at the TV in the off mode. If I turn the second amplifier on it overloads the TV and stations are lost. I am now picking up stations with towers 26 miles away from me in hilly terrain. I have a huge antenna in my attic, but with no booster I get only 4 channels. With my old cheap booster i got 20 channels. With this new Radio Shack unit I now get 42 channels. Works great and seems to have good build quality.
