I ordered the 3,6 and 9db attenuators. The 3db attenuator solved my problem of a Tivo that was freezing up due to a too strong signal from my cable provider.

I am using ota antenna with TIVO. I live really close to the local towers, so get a really strong signal which was causing choppiness and freezing. I did a little googling and posted in some forums, looking for help. Several people told me I needed an Attenuator. Radio Shack no idea what I was talking about, so I ordered here.

Works like a charm. I have had it for about a year and have had perfect picture since.

I posted this same review on the 6dB attenuator as well. Apparently Tivo boxes - I have the new Roamio Plus - still don't like "hot" signals and can cause everything from pixilation to rebooting. I had the rebooting problem. After talking with Tivo several times about it, the Tivo rep said my signal at 100% and 41dB was way, way too hot. I told him that my cable provider (TWC) installed a whole-home amplifier due to the number of outlets and the size of my house, and he suggested attenuators which will help knock down the signal.

I bought three attenuators... 3dB, 6dB, and 12dB. I installed the 3dB attenuator and it didn't really do much. I removed it and installed the 6dB. It helped, but still not enough to bring it in spec per Tivo. So I stacked the 3dB and the dB for a total of 9dB (yes, you can stack them... simply screw them together) and that brought my signal to within Tivo's recommended range. My signal strength is now 92% and the SNR is 36dB. It's still just slightly hotter and out of spec on the other tuners (the Roamio Plus has 6 tuners) but of course depends on the channel. Make sure to check all of your tuners after installing.

By the way, Tivo's recommended range is 80-99% signal strength and 29-35 SNR. You'd think stronger = better, but apparently that's not the case.

Hopefully this will help other Tivo customers troubleshoot their issues. I'll update the review in a few weeks with a status on my random rebooting.

***edit 5/20/14*** I had to install all three attenuators to bring the signal down to what Tivo recommends, but ever since installing them, I haven't had a random reboot. If your Tivo has strange problems and your signal stats are too hot, I can't recommend these little gems enough. Simple to install, inexpensive, and cured my problems.

Had too strong of a cable signal for my tivo. This dropped the signal down from over 100% strength to about 90%. Now my Tivo works great.

This attenuator worked as advertised it reduced my incoming cable signal so that my TIVO could better handle it. However I did need to order a 12db and a 6db to get the best picture without pixelation.
Parts Express got it to me with blazing hot speed. They should adjust their delivery estimate because they said it would take 5 days, I almost didn't order from them but they got it to me in two. Other sites wanted as much as 24 buck's I think Parts Express charged 3.

The product was a quality product and worked great. Bieiden was always there to help me through my problems with options and information! This device very simply cuts the signal to remedy tiling (only when there is too much signal noise), not just lack of signal strength. I'm very happy with both product and seller!

One of several different DB ratios I bought to help bring down the high signal going into my Tivo Series 3. Works better than splitters and sure looks a lot better.The attenuators are great to have and you can combine DB ratios to what ever DB signal you need going into your device.

Did exactly what I needed it to. One of my local TV stations signal was too hot with the amplified antenna I needed in order to get the other station. This knocked the signal down enough to make it stable while keeping the signal strong enough for the weaker stations.
