- superior boosterthis thing is a life-saver; boosted very low signal and made a world of difference in the quality of my cable reception. Highly Recommended. Rating: - WowFor those who don't have HD cable this is worth every penny. It does need to hook up where the cable comes in the house. Rating: - Great boosterThis Motorola signal booster did the trick. Analog pictures are richer and digital pictures are richer and stable. Good product, worth the money! Rating: - Found Channels I Didn't Know I Had.I got a new HD TV and started watching HD channels using the built in tuner. Some would work sporadically. After adding this not only were the channels constant, but over all signal strength is better (by the tv's gauge). Also pulled in channels I wasn't getting before, legally. Rating: - ReviewA bit of background; I have an axe to grind and it is not because of this product. I have an "old fashioned" analog television. I bought a Digital-Analog TV converter box in preparation for the great conversion coming in Feb. 09. Since I now get about half of the stations I get on analog TV, the box's directions say to get an antenna signal booster, so I did. This does not seem to be a very good signal booster; but at least is does not block or degrade the TV signals. With the booster, in the digital-TV world, I still only receive about half of the stations I do in the analog-TV world: the booster has made no difference in the ability of the converter box to recognize and acquire incoming digital-TV signals. The booster has also made no improvement to the analog reception either: weak signals are still equally weak, which is why I wrote that does not seem to work very well overall. I understand that the actual problem with the digital signals is that digital TV signals do not behave as well in hilly or mountainous terrain as analog signals do. An analog signal may be degraded, but at least it "gets through". BTW, I live in Sylmar, CA; part of the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles. Once again, the law of unintended consequences injects itself into the world of technology and the actions of politicians.
