This gadget did not make any change to the signal whether it was switched on or off.

firstly if this Amplifier gives you real 10d gain on a signal you are very lucky. My purpose for this item was to boost signal strenght on a fairy long cable run. Well all it did was add lots of visible interference not boosting anything but noise. Due to the cost of the item i just chucked it and chalked it up to a lesson learned. That lesson being you certainly get what you pay for :) or not!

I recieved the 12 db power unit instead of the 10 db, which is OK with me. In my situation this device helped by improving the reception with my HD tuner. However the difference in not extreme, but it is an appreciable difference that makes the TV much more watchable. I actually use two of these devices, one in the attic near the attenna, an another on the other end of the cable, on the ground floor near the TV. The result is that the TV is watchable and recieves most of the local channels. These devices are not expensive but the help they provided really made a difference in my installation.

I bought this at Walmark which is a 18dB model which works wonders for my Comcast cable which were very fuzzy on channel 2 and 4 and a few other channels. It cost $24. Make sure you buy the 18 dB model, I think the lower dB rated here is not as good.

Gave me about a 20% signal increase over rabbit ears to an analog TV. Now receive all but one low power station without signal loss.

This amplifier does not work as well as the one it replaces but for the money is completely satisfactory
