I have the RCA ANT751 in our attic. Only 1 room is using it so far as the signal is choppy. Would this improve signal for the additional rooms?

Yes but it must be installed between the antenna and the splitter. Make sure it's plugged in and has constant power.

I believe bizjetpilot is correct, the rca amp has a section that must be connected to the TV. I tried to use the indoor portion of the amp "in line" instead of connected to the TV without success.

as i understand how it works it is only good for one antenna at a time. i wud call rca c/s line and present the same question

If heard of people putting antennas in their attics`. I guess you could this one, too. If your attics big enough and your not to far from TV stations. Buildings and trees block tv signals, I would think an attic does the same? Putting this on a 20-25 ft. pole down the side of house & using Quad Sheild RG-6 coax 75 ohm Cable , probably would get you better signal & stations further away. Mines on a 50ft. tower connected to 50` feet of RG-6 cable down to the amp. & I`m getting stations 60 miles ( south & east) away.

Maybe. If you have a good (clear) but weak signal it will probably help. If you have a weak, dirty, signal it will just make it stronger although it did 'clean' up my signal a little. I think best results are gotten from putting it in the circuit as early as possible (antenna end not T.V. end).

Yes, I have mine connected to an RCA ANT751. It works very well in my setup.

Our router is upstairs in a back bedRoom. We setup the Amped Wireless booster downstairs under the stairwell and it worked to boost the signal throughout the whole house. In fact, I get a stronger signal from the Amped booster than I do from the router two rooms way.

Depends on how far the cable runs are. You might need a video DA to amplify the signal. Are you installing the antenna in the attic?

It should increase your reception, but I wouldn't guarantee it. I have bought two other amplifiers that have 25 db which work great but they don't sell them anymore.. I have not had the same response with this one.

Try moving it around and rescan it every time you move it. That's what I did and I finally got 25 channels. Move it up higher, down lower, across the room a bit, and then to the other side. Keep moving and scanning until you get more channels. I don't know what else to tell you. I hope it works better for you.

I ran coax cable from the antennae mount to the house, some 50 feet away, and split the cable at the house. The coax runs to two different HD tvs at opposite ends of the house. The picture is great on both TVs. I don't know for sure how two more tvs would affect the signal but my guess would be that it would be fine.

mine did too. the rca hookup sounds better, believe it or not. i compared them.

I was going to use a preamp but saw a video for installation. The preamp interfered with the signal. So I am not using a preamp. Watch YouTube brian shaw's, how to install two hdtv antenas. That will give you a better idea.

Sorry to hear that. The RCA TVPRAP1R amplifier continues to work very well with my Radio Shack long range VHF/UHF antenna. I live on a fringe area of a large city and this amplifier makes the flaws in reception of digital TV bearable. It also increased the number of stations I get to over 40.

I have three units in the house and all three work very well. Try stepping through the 7 channels while watching the display to see which one has the best signal strength.

They recommend pointing towards the towers. I have had it in different positions and did a channel scan and did not notice a difference. I have noticed the higher it is placed the better. I get 47 channels on the main level of my house and 74 channels on the upper level. I'm going to put it in my attic.

This does not improve signal. One leg is a pass through to provide a remote connection to a 120v AC wall outlet, thus backfeeding the required power back to the amplifier. This is helpful when the amplifier is mounted outside the house where there is no power source.

I mounted mine in the attic of a 2 story house and I don't have this issue. I know it does not work when I swap the amplifier with the mohu leaf one. Try mount higher or point the antenna to the TV station.

I don't see how it could do anything but improve your signal. Works great on the antenna I have put in my attic.
