I have my 1st led TV and I don't have cable, just an indoor antenna. My colour goes in & out and the picture shakes would an amplifier help?

I had nothing but trouble with 2 of those amplifier. To get stations 70 and 20 miles away I put outside antennas with a pre amp plus a rotor to fine tune reception. If your stations are close, you will still need at least a small outdoor antenna. HD stations need good signal reception.

I live in fringe area for reaching tv stations. The amp did help in pulling in additional stations. I have a long cable run from outside antenna to location of led tv.

Yes, but make sure the amp is rated for digital signals over the air and is capable of at least 12db amplification to bring in those fringe stations. 24db or 36db is even better. Don't expect all local channels to come in, and weather (especially wind and snow) will have detrimental affects on your signal-but what the heck, it's free!

It's simple, get a UPS, connect the power injector to the UPS and even if the power goes out and you have a UPS on the TV as well, your signal will still be amplified...

Cody, I have an amplified distribution box. I tried increasing the amplification but my Tv started to periodicallyBlack out because of the excessive boost so I bought this device to boost only the cable going to my modem.I have not had any more problems since.

Just remember that you'll lose signal strength for each split in the coax. Direct into the TV will be strongest with each split downgrading the signal slightly. You may need to look into adding amplifier. Check out this article. https://www.antennasdirect.com/blog/do-i-need-an-antenna-amplifier-with-my-antenna/

Your TV sounds like it is analog being that old, and ClearTV is a digital antenna. So it would not work....

hey, i'm in the same prob here, looking for something to boost my weak signal for my regular tv. I don't use cable, just rabbit ears. Any sugestion which antenna is best or should i go look for booster?

There should be a setting on your TV in the menu that allows you to choose an output source. Connect the red and white cables to your system and to your TV as well. Then, change the input on your system to auxiliary (aux) and it should work

Please make sure that your LED TV has a VGA port and the cable will work just fine.

I was going to use a preamp but saw a video for installation. The preamp interfered with the signal. So I am not using a preamp. Watch YouTube brian shaw's, how to install two hdtv antenas. That will give you a better idea.

You will have to use a digital optical cable to connect your amplifier to this T.V the input is on the back of the amp you will also see the input on the back of the T.V

You will need a pole to mount it on and cable to connect it to your TV. The pole I got is thisHDTV Antenna Mount - 30inI would try it without an amplifier. Unless your signal is really weak you shouldn't need one.

Apologies. Your question is more technical than I can answer. I just hooked the thing up and it worked (well). I run nothing more on the coax in my house than the antenna signal. I should add add that the signal strength has degraded somewhat (fewer channels) since I installed the amplifier in January, but the decrease in performance could be attributable to something other than the amp. Will investigate before winter.

connect to actual cable that is either dish/comcast service to see if tv works. if it does get boost assist signal amplifier dont go cheap, get the best you can.

A separate amp is needed. The audio out from your tv is to connect that amp via rca or a/v cables. I used a fiber optic cable to connect my tv to the amp, but it is a newer hd model.

keep looking, you just need a uhf amplifier, find one at radio shack. or even a old tv vhf,uhf amplifier,thats built in antena...

Make sure you are on the right component input. If that doesnt work then try it on another tv. It will let you know if the cable is bad or tv input is bad.
