It's better than paying the cable company $700 to $800 a year.

    I was running 2 radio shack amps inline and this got more signals then both of them combined

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    One thing thro you have to remove the inline amps when you install this one because it doesnt need it and it eventually burns up the amps

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The inline amps also didnt make any difference in the signal
