do i need to add a booster to this product like, Winegard LNA-100 Boost Ultra Low Noise TV Antenna Amplifier

It all depends on the length of travel to the last TV and the type of coax used to distribute the signals in the system. We use this amplifier in conjunction with an amplified marine-type TV antenna (Omni-directional) and the system works fine with all rooms on board our vessel. We use quad-shielded RG-6 (Lowe's or Home depot sells this) with crimp-compression connectors properly installed.

I didn't add any booster and it works fine. But my cable run is less than 100ft.

I have a flatwave -amped installed in attic, hangiing upside down feediing 5 tv's. Got excellent reception for most stations but couldn't pickup a few weaker signals. Installed Winegard HDA-200 Distribution Amplifier Adjustable Gain 5-1000 MHz 24dB and now get excellent reception for all stations. Broadcast antennas are 35 mi + away.

You shouldn't need to have another booster after the distribution amplifier in my opinion. I'm driving two TVs and an FM radio just fine with the HDA-200 attached to two UHF directional antennas up attached to my chimney. You may want to examine your input (antennas) to the HDA-200, rather than trying to further boost a signal...

The TV Antenna Amplifier probably is as important as the antenna. I have used the antenna without the amplifier and get good reception, but when I connect the amplifier the reception is great.

This product IS an amplifier. If you cascade this product with the LNA-100, you will get further amplification, but also amplify noise.

I didn't have to add it. Just connected the item directly to my TV which was very easy to do. The other end then connected to my antenna. It definitely helped. Without it, I could not get PBS station. With it, I could.

I have a "Jack" antenna head mounted to a Winegard directional mast. This worked perfectly well with the Jack antenna. However do not use any other gain/amplification... I only used this RFL-342 and I did not have my Jack inline amplifier connected. So just use this. No other amplified source.

. you need to purchase a signal booster and the antenna. makes a ton off difference. look at part # 815126 booster # 859970 home kit and 301125 antenna.

Yes. You can buy different types of antenna (omni-direction and yagi) and signal boosters. Check www.wpsantennas.com or www.alternativewireless.com for more product information. Amazon sells some products too. Or look for a local electronics store that sells these products.

Yes. You just need a splitter. A signal booster is recomended when you split the signal.

You have to buy additional accessories for indoor. I.e. power adapter. Also you may want to look at options for the antenna. I use mine in an an RV and it takes some maneuvering of the antenna to optimize the boost... not unlike other things that have antennas. Overall, I'm happy with the product, but I was it in vehicles.

It looks like the same antenna with the amp installed in line between the antenna and TV. I did not buy the amplified unit because I see all of the TV towers from my window. Like any amplifier it makes a weak signal stronger. But, if you are too close the amp would be a detriment. The amp looks like it adds 15+- miles to reception USB refers to the power plug. You have USB plugs on your computer and hopefully on your TV. With the USB model, the amp gets its power from your TV USB plug rather than having to plug it into the wall socket like the one shown in the photo. Check your TV to see if it has a convenient USB plug before you buy into that.

Yes there is an inline booster that came with it, so assume it is required. Next to tv set

This will not boost quality of the signal. The signal is either there or not depending on your antenna, obstructions, height, direction, model, etc... It will boost the current signal down the line to your tv(s), splitters, etc.... If you are already receiving channels that are at 100%, this may create unwanted noise on the line which your receiver may have issues. If you are at 100%, you should not need the boost. In a nut shell. This device works great for long cable runs, and where a drop in DB when splitting or going through a distribution point. In my case, I received 95% - 100% signal on 40 stations at the antenna with a very short cable test to a TV / Receiver. When hooked up in my normal setup which included a splitter and about 75 feet of runs, I only received about 10 channels and those were cutting out at 50% signal. Once the amp/booster was installed (at the antenna), I receive everything strong and near 100% down the line at my TV's

You now only need a bridge or boost if you are connecting it to your tv. I just hooked up two Play5's and a sub wirelessly and it sounds awesome. Thankfully I have no neighbors.

I performed a quick search on the Wilson product and would say do not expect this Motorola Booster to work. The specification for the Wilson application would be greater that that of the application of the Motorola product. When talking about amplifiers that means the gain and noise figure of the amplifier. The price also is a good indicator. The Wilson product has a gain of +65dB while the Motorola device has something like +9dB. Anyway they are definitely for different applications therefore NO. Hope this helps.

Generally speaking, you should get a better antenna before trying to amp a relatively poor one. Modern tuners are fairly sensitive so on a short run your concern is usually too low a signal to noise ratio, so by using a better antenna you should have higher SNR before amplifying it if that is even needed.

dear blondie. the amplifier increases the tv signal from the tv transmitting towers.you can't see or hear the signal. wherever you mount the antenna, you can see it but it is silent.

Well it won't 'boost' anything; it's not an amplifier. The antenna is supposedly trimmed for a maximum gain of 3.2 dB at 446 MHz. If it flattens your wave energy (gain) at other frequencies, it does not say. It could drift off to unity at all other frequencies for all we know. Your radio uses a SMA-M.Apparently the 4 best antennas for your HT are the -Diamond SRH320AMaldol MH-610Comet HT-224Jestream JTH2

Included with this device is a power supply, but what you'll need is a length of coax cable (the same type which carries the TV /cable signal) to carry the power from the adapter to the booster. This was not included in my package. The length required will of course depend on how far away the splitter is from the power outlet.

No additional equipment is required. It has a booster that is connected via the antenna to the tv. Antenna is very very easy to install. One has to make some adjustment to the placement of the antenna to get a strong signal depending on where the TV tower is located. A+ product. I would go on this " http://www.antennaweb.org/" website and see for sure what channels are available for your zipcode. Based on which u can make u r purchase. Hope this helps.
