I just swithced from dish to xfinity cable and my tv's picture got worst. I was told that the signal needs to be better . Is this the correct product

I couldn't tell you for sure, in the box that the signal amp. came in there are instructions. The manufactors phone # is on it call them.

I have Xfinity and have signal issues too, however, I took my comcast equipment back and picked up a Samsung Smart Media box that works as a smart hub and cable box, picked up a cable card to use in the samsung box. My picture improved remarkably. I am still getting some channels with "weak or no signal" on a number of channels. I am going to try this device.

As a whole, Dish has a better picture, but you can try a booster and see if that helps.

If you have only one tv this should work fine. If you have more consider a 4 port amp such as the PCT-MA1015-4PN or equivalent. The 4 port model took my tv's from unwatchable to near perfect picture.

You will improve your picture even more if you drop all of those and put up an antenna. Comcast, Dish, and all the others get their digital signals from the television stations. The same stations broadcast in digital over the air. The only difference is that the cable and dish companies compress the signal to get more bandwidth, so technically, the free over the air signal is your best bet. I live in a major metropolitan area and get about 40 channels for free off the air. (Not counting analog.) It was a major step up from cable. 720p is not the problem. It's doubtful that you could tell the difference on that alone. A 1080i broadcast of a 1960 sitcom will look no better on 1080i than on a 480i broadcast and a 1080i broadcast that is (re)run on a lower definition digital channel will lack resolution despite being digital. It all depends on the source and resolution, and not all digital channels are high def. The problem is that with a bad picture, your new set is very good at showing you every detail of it. When TV went color, there were still lots of black and white shows. When it became stereo, there were still lots of mono broadcasts. These days, you don't see NBC's peacock telling you that the show is in glorious living color, and the TV stations don't flash the "stereo" logo. But they might have a "now in HD" logo. In a few years, that will go away because it will be normal for things to be in HD. Then the cable companies will have to rethink all the low bandwidth channels that they throw at you. But for now, you will get your share of low def shows, shows in a square box, and letterbox within a 4*3 box leaving half the picture blank. The advantage of your Sony is that things will only get better. Having a TV that's better than the broadcast is better than the other way around.

I thought the picture looked so grainy I decided to return my TCL. I tried 2 different HDMI cables along with Blu-ray and HDsat content. It was consistently bad throughout. I showed the TV to some friends and they agreed as well. The picture sucks. I went to Best Buy and looked at all the TV's and probably 95% had a better picture that was smoother and more natural and didnt have a digital grain to the image like TCL.

My Only Experience Is With Dish Network Satellite Box. I Have Sent A Solid HDMI Signal To 4 TVs Out Of One Dish receiver. One 60 Feet.

is it possible that it IS hd but dimmed? when i got my satellite upgrade, i was horrified to see that the picture i was getting was about half the brightness of over the air broadcasts that looked absolutely beautiful. it took me a day or so to figure out that the tv comes from the factory defaulted to 'autoview' under 'picturemode' in the picture menu. put it on 'sports' or 'standard' to suit your taste. this tv is all about inputs, and i assume you have it set on 'antenna/cable'. if you do, i should think you'd be getting HD just fine. good luck. -dan

Hi, Greg!Your best bet is to go to this page: ClearStream 4 Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna with Mount - 70 Mile Range and look for "A Message from the Antennas Direct Team" way down the page. There, you'll find a phone number and you can call the mfr directly to ask whatever questions you need answered. Before you call, look at your TV set to determine which inputs it has (write those down). If you're planning to use the cables from the dish as the cables you'll use from this antenna, try to read the cable type on the cable jacket and write that down also. There may be an impedance issue that will require a different cable.

I dunno? I have a 40" TCL, very satified. I suggest accessing a station that is supposed to be High Def 1080, then look at the bottom right hand corner when accessing the channel from GUIDE, it will spell out if you have it in High def .

As long as you know the elevation and azimuth of the satellite and have a comppass, the Magic system will help you point the dish at the satellite close enough to get a signal. Once there, you may need to move the dish side-to-side and/or up or down a few degrees to fine tune your reception. My cable box has a built-in feature that helps me do this. If you are a DirectTV customer, go to http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/customer/dishPointer.jsp, type in the zip code of your location and it will tell you the elevation and azimuth to use. Other providers probably provide similar sites.

I no longer have the box. What do you need the antenna to do ? I do not know the significance on the purple label. I mounted mine in the attic and receive 17 channels...most better than cable for picture quality. Highly recommend this one ....TOM

Make sure you have it on the right setting. Press menu then go to channel search. Look for service type. Mine was on "air" and I had it connected to the cable. Once I switched it to "cable", it searched fine. If you are using an antenna, make sure the antenna setting is on. Good Luck, it is definitely low quality.

I lived 20 miles from dallas, and the signal quality was not good. Also I tried to move the antenna around to find the right signal strength but still made no difference. I would try to look for an antenna that goes on top of an rv they seem to be better built for distance and signal strength.

I know you can purchase signal boosters that are compatible with this brand of HDMI. From my experience i did not need one, the image did not lose clarity or seem to have color issue. I ran from cable source to a prejector with no issue. Hope this helps, good luck.

I don't know about the cable modem issue but the signal for my TV through Comcast is greatly improved for my bedroom. I couldn't receive only one or two channels before I put this in and now everything works as it should

It did not work for me, It will no convert the signals. I had to get a new tv.
