I am using an RCA TVPRAMP1R Preamplifier with my outdoor antenna which improves reception in my remote location. Will this device help?

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

If you're receiving a good signal now, the amplifier will strengthen it considerably. It shoudl work the same with an attic antenna as it does one placed outdoors.

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

Depends. It's line-of-sight reception. If there's buildings or high terrain between you and the station, I'd say no. If not, it probably will work or you might have to get an external antenna. Hope this helps...

No. The antenna will only increase the range. The maximum speed is whatever you put into the device.

It will improve streaming only if you have a weak signal to the location where you are watching. If you have a strong signal already, it won't help. This device improves signal strength at remote locations. It will not improve speed if you have a strong signal.

I live in the country as well I have my antenna 15' high. Also have a booster that has an fm trap on it. It supposedly keep the radio signals from interfering. They are not expensive and made a big difference in my case anyway.

Yes, that is exactly what I am using one of the two I bought to do. And, yes, an amplifier will help you be able to tune in weaker channels as well. I am using an amplifier to do that as well, without it sometimes one of my weaker channels will drop out ... and if that happens at the beginning of a show time it will cause my DVR to skip recording the entire show. So I use the combiner to connect two OTA antennas pointed in different directions and then boost the signal strength. Hope that helps you to solve your problems.

I bought an adapter to be able to use it with a cb antenna on my UTV. It definitely helps with reception and transmit distance.

Yes. That is what I use it for. I have a long antenna run from a pole on top of my chimney all the way to my basement, with two splits along the way, and had weak reception on my basement TV. I added the signal booster to the run just before the last split and it improved the signal strength on both lines.

Yes, whatever your signal strength is now, the booster will ensure that signal is sent to your TV. Just be sure to have your antenna positioned to achieve optimum reception.

I wish I could help you, but I had a technician try to get the antenna to work. It didn't improve the cell phone reception, but I don't think it was the antenna. I just live in an extremely remote area. Good luck.

It depends on how close you are to the tv station antennas. If you are in an urban setting you might have good luck , maybe an attic antenna would work . To test , try rabbit ears in a window , it you get signals then , you will be pleased with this antenna placed outside.

The signal booster is made for outdoor antennas. I don't know if it matters which antenna you have. I use mine on my old rooftop antenna, it works for me.

I believe it will help but I think it works best when directly connected to the unit''s am antenna input rather than sitting on top of it. You will have to move the antenna to different locations to get the best reception for your stations.

If the signal is decent in the area and it is just the receiver that you're having trouble with yes the antenna will amplify the signal and you should have better results. But if the signal is already noisy and weak you will only be amplifying noise... hope this helped ... Hauser
