| There is one more thing to try. An
antenna signal booster. These are available in 1, 2, 4 & 8 output versions. If you are using one to run numerous TV's, use a unit with the appropriate number of inputs. But, if you are using one to try and improve a weak signal, then go with the single output unit, and place it as close to the antenna as possible. For this, we like the Channel Master CM-3410 as it is weather-proof. If placed ourtdoors, near your antenna, be sure to securely wrap all connections with electrical tape to keep moisture out. Whichever brand you choose, you want between 10 & 15 dB of gain. (Remember, the more outputs, the lower the gain to each one.) Still, nothing is guaranteed. No amplifier can boost a signal that is simply not there. At the time of writing, the CM-3410 was available from Amazon.ca, for $39 including shipping. There are, of course, other sources - though nearly all are on-line. |
