Wow. A game changer. Cox Cable and I have fought a low signal strength for 5 years. Upgraded all of my cables and connectors. Bought a $40 signal splitter. Had Cox out 2 or 3 times. The cable modem still kept dropping the signal and NBC and ABC HD channel signals were so weak we set the DVR to the non-HD channels so we wouldn’t keep losing shows. Just hooked this up a few hours ago–took 3 minutes at most and required no tools–and now all signals are in the 90% range. Good, clear, and strong. This thing merits the great reviews. What sold me on it initially was that the signal splitter is built into the amp; that elimantes an external splitter and two additional connections. Good engineering design. I could have save a couple of hundred bucks if this had been the first thing I tried.

My digital converter has a signal level indicator on it. Using this amplifier raised the signal quality from about 5% to about 50% on my worst channels. So I now get all the local channels from my roof top antennas.

Works as advertised! A must have if your main cable line is over 50′, you have mutiple splitters, or live in an appartment.

I’ve been using this splitter/amplifier for over a year now. I have two 50+ foot cable runs located in different rooms of our house – one to my HDTV cable box, the other to a cable modem. I can surf through the cable OnDemand catalog, stream shows and do network intensive activities (downloads/uploads, VOIP) simultaneously without a problem. Bi-directional performance and the overall connections have been been rock solid.
In the past, I have used both Electroline and PCT splitter/amplifiers. We have fairly unstable power where I live, with frequent short outages and spikes. For both the Electroline and PCT products, even though they were always plugged into surge suppressors (both the electrical and cable lines), they eventually blew out. The Motorola has weathered a year’s worth of storms and random outages/spikes and is still running great. Don’t know if this is just luck or a sign of the high build quality of the device. The connectors are solid (nothing even comes close to wiggling) and the overall build quality appears to be quite high.
I haven’t had to touch it since I installed it, so I’m a happy camper.

My parents live in a house with some OLD cable tv wiring, with long runs and splitters everywhere. With the upgrade to digital recently the signal was just not getting to some of the converter boxes with enough strength. I ordered this booster, hoping it would solve my issues and save me from having to upgrade the wiring throughout (ugh, THAT would have been a difficult job). Well, it works perfectly. Some of the reviews say not to connect your Comcast modem through this booster, I did with no problem. Internet connection is plenty fast enough to stream HD movies from Netflix and have several others browsing the web, all with no interruption. Plus now all of the tv’s work and all of the cable boxes get a strong signal. Needless to say I am extremely pleased with this product.
