What is the deferance between this one and your 8-Port Bi-Directional Cable TV HDTV Amplifier B003B99KDK, ( why would i need this one?)

Mine has active return which is required for 2 way communications on cable systems where you use "on demand". When you use on demand you are actually sending a signal back to the cable company to command a request. The one you are looking at has passive return which is fine for antenna and cable systems where on demand is not required. Mine has an amplified return. The other one does not and will not work with on demand cable. I actually tried the one without active return and would noy work on my cable system with on demand

I use it with a Logitech Revue to convert to component to pass through multiple component HD amps/Splitters for different home zones. The issue is the last model I had passed the revue to my 480p flat panels, but this model doesn't.

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/

Sorry, can't answer you question, as I ordered this item a looong time ago, so I can't even remember what it was that I used for (I think I was using it for an old direct tv satellite box, but again, not sure). I think back when I ordered it, technology wasn't as advanced/complicated as it is today, so this item can go either way (work or not)... Good luck...

You need a receiver to push the amps through it. It demands a lot. TVs don't have much.

I prefer to hook my critical video equipment, especially reference equipment, directly to my monitor. You can use the ARC HDMI to get TV sound out of the Receiver. there 'has' to be 'some' information lost in the translation, imo.

I used standard "RCA audio/video cables" (you can see what these look like by searching Amazon for "Video Cables" in electronics) . I needed some longer cables so I went to my local RadioShack. These are available at most stores. These are not applicable to HD TVs. I don't know if there are adaptors available for that type of connect. Hope this helps.

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.

Mine goes to a 3 way splitter, two TV's were within 6 feet of splitter and were good, the third was 30 feet of coax away from splitterand no signal was getting to that TV so I put a pre amp between splitter and that 30 feet of coax and then that TV worked perfectly

Same as G. Bains' list of items. Also, you DO need coax FROM the antenna to the amp, as well as FROM the amp TO the TV(s), and possibly a splitter and more coax if you have more than 1 TV.

Well, I just ordered a coaxil cable two-way splitter (listen to the techie here, lol!) The guy at Best Buy told me to somehow get the antenna hooked into the recorder/player AND the tv. He said we didn't need that channel 3. Wish me luck. I just may have something. I'll let you know! - Linda

Hi Spencer, The device is an HDMI signal splitter - one HDMI signal in, Two HDMI signals out. For example, I use mine to connect the HDMI output of my cable TV box to two televisions.There does not appear to be any signal amplification. The HDMI signal level into each of the two televisions appears to be the same as that out of the cable TV box.The "operating" length of the HDMI cable would be approximately the same as that directly out of the cable TV box.Art

Is there a reason that you don't want to use the coaxial input on the TV? The signal from the TV station transmitter is in HDTV format.(1080 DPI) Unless it a monitor TV, then you will have to get a DVT to HDMI converter.

I have mine with THREE (3) ports active--the last "open" port is covered in the 50 ohm pin (ALA RADIO SHACK), if pin not used you will lose signal tot he working ones. I get from 5-6 DB added, and this gets the signal to all the room TVS. DO NOT push the distance--MAX is 75 feet, then you need another power booster, or you just get 2-4 db increase. NOTE-- you do not get more TV signals--but you get more power (db = decibels) to the signal conning into the house. Call your TV cable service--if your cable outside is not in good shape--you lose lots of db ( I lost 9 db die to a tear). They put in a NEW CABLE--and WOW, more signal, less snow--added my booster--snow went away.

If you have a splitter, I'd say two tvs...fyi.. If you aren't in the cities, this one sucks. Spend the money. Please learn from my lesson! Lol

I'm not sure how to answer. This is a single channel splitter. It will take a single RCA output and split to two. If you have right and left RCA outputs on your TV, you shouldn't need this. If there is a single output, it may not be RCA, as it should be stereo. If it is a digital output (usually yellow), this will not work as you will need a digital converter and amplifier. I hope this info helps you.
