Will this product work with a regular TV antenna to boost a weak signal? Thank you!

Sorry to say that in general it won't help with an antenna signal. I have read some reviews where people said it helped some, but that is not its intended purpose.

You bet it works for that! I'm 40+ miles away from the DTV transmitter sites. Have a CM4228 antenna in the attic. Been using an EDA-2100 to boost the signals. Works great! In fact, I just cascaded a second amp to improve our Fox TV affiliate signal just a bit. So I have two of these amps essentially on series. No overload, and they work great in this configuration.

Sorry, don't know. I didn't have much luck with it boosting my cable signal.

It will amplify the signal but will also amplify the noise. It won't 'clean up' the signal per se. Some T.V.s won't program a station if the signal is too weak. It will help with that.

I used it to combine 2 db8 antenna and they worked great. If you have a weak signal then yes i woul add a preamp/amp combo to boost the signal.

Reading the description of that antenna, I noticed that it has a built in amplifier. Try using it first, to see what your reception is, before adding a separate amp.

This antenna is not designed to pick up low V signals such as channel 4. However, in relatively strong signal areas it might pick it up anyway. You would probably have to try it first to see if it works.

if you have a bad signal it will just boost the bad signal. it does not give you more signal strength

I have two digital TV attached. Also I have installed a signal amplifier attached to the antenna. But I don't know the direct answer to your question. It seems to me that the signal amplifier (at less than $20) would make sense if you live on the edge of the TV transmitter coverage area.

I am not sure what your exact situation is, however, I do wireless communications for a living for over 25 years and I had the same product that did not work at all either. No matter what I did with the antenna location outside, tested the cables, etc. it just did nothing to boost the signal. I hope you have better luck but I had to return mine for a refund. I hope this helps.

I really dont have the answer...but you could contact the company and they could help you....I just know that it works really well with my direct tv satellite receiver and the antenna for over the air tv...

I do not know what the antenna would do given your situation but it is very directional and really needs to have signal amplifier inline.

I have a telescoping antenna from a previous HDTV OTA tuner that has a heavier and magnetic base, however, it doesn't have any better/worse reception than this "V" antenna, which is so flimsy, each individual antennae isn't strong enough to stay in any fixed "up" position. Because the antenna is removable, pickup a cheap larger HDTV antenna and give it a try.

It should work if your tv has a built in wireless capability. I know for my tv, it had the capability and this acts as its antenna. Just to warn you, the reception with this, is a little bit weak. It's about 70/30 (will connect/won't connect to the network) odds.

Probably not while this antenna works i didnt get any reception improvement. No matter where i put it even tried outside. i have pretty strong tv channels as i recieve 10+ channels but they still go in and out with this one. I purchased the more expensive amazon really thin one and it works much better

Yes, as long as you can get a signal it will help for a stronger signal. It did for me.

I really don't know since I never tried it with an antenna. It did help with my cable connection being split among multiple TV's.

I don't know what it will pick up, up there. You will need to get an inline booster. My channel 7.1 through 7.4 comes in good all the time. My channel 21.1 through 21.4 don't come in to good all the time, at night better. But I did not get any channel 21 before. I think I probably get couple other channels that I don't watch. I went on another site to see what channels, antennas would be out there, and how far away they are. And then pointed my antenna in that direction. Had to play with the ears, and antenna direction to get to work better. I hope this will help you make up your mind. I have not done anything to my antenna, but I have been thinking about screwing a bigger base on it.

probably not. We are actually looking for a new antenna because this one has issues at times, signal not staying in. We have to drag it all over the living room to get it to work properly.
