4.0 out of 5 stars A "Must Have" for Off the Air Digital Television, October 5, 2008

My digital TV tuners were having a tough time locking on to one of my local digital stations. I had good coax, antenna, and pre-amp feeding my set-up but with research and asking around I realized that my old splitters were probably a weak point. As an experiment I replaced one of them with this splitter. I do see an improvement. Not in the picture quality (with a digital signal it's either there or not there) but in my tuners ability to hold a signal and display the picture.
So - If you rely on an antenna for TV, and you feed more than one tuner with your antenna, you may want to consider upgrading your old splitter(s) to a new one like this that's rated to at least 2 Ghz (2000 Mhz). This will more than allow for the higher frequency and increased bandwidth required by digital TV signals.

This review is from: Digital Satellite Splitter (Electronics)

I received a different model splitter, but one that stated that it was a digital satellite splitter. However, it did not work. I set it up off the main feed, but nothing happen for the 2nd tv site. The feed continued to work for the tv in the living room. I have bought the Directtv box thru Amazon.com as well as a few other items trying to make the 2nd tv work, but no luck. I finally called DirectTV service to try and activate the 2nd box tv and told them I was trying to use the splitter, but they stated that it would not work. That I would have to have a separate line feed to the back of the TV. I know this is not absolute true. Oh, and DirectTV wants the box I bought from Amazon if I terminate with them. I told them they didn't pay me a dime to buy it and they would not get my box UNLESS they were buying it from me. I guess they thought I was suppose to just roll over and play dumb. Just a year left with them.
Thanks Amazon,
