This amp is great. It boosts the pathetic signal I get in my main TV viewing room from my cable company AND it allows me to split the signal so I can use the picture-in-picture aspect of my TV for the first time.
It truly is a great, solid, high quality, well engineered product!
Just what I needed!

Reviewer: DouglasD,
I have too many splitters in my home and was not getting enough signal to my new Comcast digital converter to get it to work.
This signal booster did exactly what I needed. I actually can now get all the channels I was supposed to, and no more pixelating or dropouts! I don't think it increases cable modem speed as some have suggested, but this "dual output" will eliminate a additional splitter.
Glad I bought, and I would recommend to anyone needing more signal strength.
works great!

Reviewer: Tom,
should have tried unhooking the old amp first because it wasn't working very good, then the lightning made it work not all all. After installing the unit, all the stations, and more, came in much better. needed the splitter becasue I'm too lazy to want to go down in the basement and change the cables. noted a "10" gain on the converter box signal after hooking it up.
Big house, big reception quality

We own a big house that is now a Bed and Breakfast. There are eight televisions and a lot of cable going to them! The long cables to multiple televisions made for weak signal strength reception. The Motorola Signal Booster is now providing great digital quality to every part of the house! I am more than pleased with the booster!
Game changer

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.
Signal Booster for HDTV.

Works as advertised! A must have if your main cable line is over 50', you have mutiple splitters, or live in an appartment.
Great cable HDTV/OnDemand and cable modem performance

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.
Perfect for me!

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.
Works Great

I moved into a new home which had seven cable outlets in different rooms. One of the bedrooms I turned into an office but the problem was that I only had one cable connection in the room. The connection did okay with either the cable modem or the HDTV but not with both connected. The cable modem would not connect with the TV connected to a splitter. I connected the amplifier and ran one cable to the TV and the other to the cable modem. I crossed my fingers and plugged it in... Now I have a great cable internet AND HDTV signal, both from one cable connection. The only thing I had a problem with was the 13 days it took from the time I ordered until the time I received the item, but that has nothing to do with the item itself.
Great product!
