My satellite reception is clear again!! (2009-06-25)
Have a dual channel satellite dish. One tv on channel one (clear), and 4 tvs on the other which had a very poor picture. When speaking with a satellite installer, he suggested that I purchase an amplified splitter. I had purchased one previously, and I'm not sure if just quit working, but when this one was installed the picture was clear!!! Very easy instructions to hook it up! Great purchase for the price!!!

Before I put this little jewel in my distribution, I had several TV's that would regular pixelate and drop signal. Now, all the TV's have crystal clear reception. I've not missed my cable since hooking into the new digital over-the-air signals.

When Comcast upgrade their digital cable, some channels apparently have weaker signal. I can't receive Discovery, CNN, TLC, Animal Planet, etc. Checking the Amazon product and reviews, I found this could be the product I need. Indeed, it is. After I purchased and installed this product, all channels are received. Very happy about the investment.

Received the item within 9 days from the order date. Within the 15 day window for free shipping.
I bought this amp/splitter to solve the following problem:
In my home office I have a cable modem and a TV with one cable drop (outlet). I used a passive high bandwidth splitter to feed the modem and the TV. Naturally the signal degraded somewhat after the split. Initially, the modem was able to lock on the signal and perform well. Over time and signal strength fluctuations from the cable company caused the modem to behave erratically and would frequently lose the connection to the internet. If I bypass the passive splitter the modem would function perfectly.
After receiving the amp/splitter I hooked it up to the main drop from the cable company coming into the house and powered it up with the included power adapter (literally took me 5 minutes to do all the connections). I immediately noticed that the picture on my analog and digital TVs improved significantly and most importantly the modem was able to lock on the signal and connect to the internet with the passive splitter installed.
Just one word of caution. Last night the power in our neighborhood was out for a couple of hours following a severe thunderstorm. This amp/splitter would totally block the signal if it loses power. The reason I mention that is because I have a UPS (uninterruptable power supply)as a backup power to my pc, modem and digital phone (VoIP). During previous power outages I was able to maintain internet and phone connectivity for as long as the UPS batteries lasted (typically 10+ hours with the PC/monitor/printer/fax turned off). Last night I lost the internet and phone connection during the outage. I will just have to add a simple cable switch to bypass the amp/splitter in case of a power outage and another in my office to bypass the passive splitter.
Overall I like this product and would recommend it.
