I can get this to work over a short cable, but not from one end of my house to the other. Would a coax amplifier help?

No, a coax amplifier can not be used. please email to Dualcomm technical support for further assistance. The email address is: support@dual-comm.com. You can also find this email address on Dualcomm website.

I am using mine approximately 60 feet from device to device and seeing little degradation. How far are your devices from each other? I think I read a comment where you can go much more than this. One possible issue you may have that I faced was that my house was wired with a splitter behind the wall running to two different coax outlets. You can not have a splitter in the infrastructure.

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

The one I purchased works well for cable. I don't think it is designed to boost the signal for satellite systems.

If you can supply ac power directly to this amplifier, it can replace your existing one. You cannot feed power to this amp over a coaxial cable. Whether it will help your channel reception or not is uncertain, but most likely it won't help that much, if at all. You may find it more productive to reposition your antenna for better reception, if that is possible. Good luck. I hope you find a satisfactory solution.

There is a normal coax cable connection. One setup issue I remember is that you have to set the input during initial setup.

No. It will not improve the signal by itself. This device only "piggybacks" DC voltage on the coaxial cable to power a remote amplifier.

Depends on how far the cable runs are. You might need a video DA to amplify the signal. Are you installing the antenna in the attic?

Try not to split before the inside unit. You really need to use the amplifier. If you need to split it to go back outside then install and dual coax faceplate. One port coming in and one going back outside. Thats how I have in set up because my signal was originally split outside to go to different floors. But I had 2 ports coming into one floor so i used 1 for in and the other to go back out to the other floor.

Your pre-exsisting Cabling should be fine however the only thing is you have to make sure where ever you put the antenna you will need a connection from there back to the TV you are accessing. I'm not 100% sure if you have a few cable splitters how that will effect the signal quality but it is worth a shot.

I do not claim to be a technical whiz; I followed the channel master preamplifier instructions which instructs a short length of coaxial cable (which I just happen t have a 12 inch piece). I connected the channel master 8 bay antenna with cable to preamp. (I am using my antenna indoors, since I live in Central Florida; known for being a strong lightning zone!)

I would look into getting a power over Ethernet setup, these wireless range extenders don't work very well

Should work with any antenna feed that is coax. Plug antenna into "RF In" port. Works best with external antenna mounted outside the house or in the attic. The fewer connectors there are between the antenna and the amp is best to minimize signal loss. Good luck!

I'm sure you could, but I don't think you should have to. A single coax cable would go into the attic to connect to the antenna/amplifier. In the bedroom, you could connect the power splitter to the coax. One coax from the splitter would connect to a power outlet, in the bedroom. The other coax from the splitter would connect to the back of the TV/Tuner, again in the bedroom.My setup has the antenna/amplifier in the attic, and the power for the amplifier is plugged in the basement.

I would be very interested in a work around for this as well... would you be able to add a "combining splitter" (?) that would channel both a uhf antenna and a separate vhf antenna coax cables into single coax cable to the TV or Digital tuner?... that's the only thing I could think of, but I have no idea if it would work...

you need a coax cable (I had this same problem, I got one from Radio Shack and problem solved)

I agree, it depends on your setup. I had to buy one more cable along with a new root splitter with wider frequency range and POE filters to isolate the signal to only where I wanted it to go
