Am Antenna Booster

I have an antenna booster connected to one of my older TVs that seems to work well. It connects to the TV with a cable and plugs into the house wiring. I'd like to find another one to attach to another TV-- but I can't remember where I got the device or what it's called. Can anyone help?

It's an antenna booster or amplifier or signal amplifier. When you go into someplace like Radio Shack or Fry's electronics tell them you need an adapter or a converter to use with your older TV, after you find that, then tell them you need the signal amplifier. They should be able to tell you how they will hook together.

Using approximately $50 worth of parts from Radio Shack, I hooked my Grundig G5 to the old TV antenna on the roof that wasn#39;t being used ...

I make calls from my home for business, but get poor reception. I saw a sticker type antenna booster at a store, but don't know anything about them. Are they for real?

Dont waste your money. it is a cheasy gimmick. I used to sell them, and my employees all tried them on their phones, but they didnt make a difference. I think they may have done some good on the older analog phones. But they are definitely not worth anything.

Currently I am using cingular wireless for my cell phone, but my reception downstairs in my house is poor. I was wondering if a cell phone booster antenna will really improve my reception?

no. not in my experience.

If you think about it, if they worked the phone manufacturers would have included that feature in the phone you already own, to try and make you buy their phone over the competitions.

Also if you have a tin roof or stucco walls, the only thing you can do is go outside, since these act as a barrier to the signal.

Happy talking!

Instructions: Simply plug booster into radio and antenna into booster. Connect power lead to switched 12-volt power source and your done. For radios with motorola style antenna plug only

I managed to get the red cable connected to the car battery, but I still does not get good signal, I still hear a lot of static when i am listening to the radio.
could it be something that i did wrong?
I bought it so i wouldn't need my antenna extended to high on my 1999 honda CRV.

Usually all it will amply what ever signal comes into it. (I've had some and in rural areas it boosted some stations but not to the level people are exclaiming in the ads because average limit for a FM station is 25 miles (even though reality is 10-100 miles)

If the antenna is extended, does your reception get better?

IF no, or the same, check the power lead or you may have a defective unit

Swap out and make sure it's put in... the unit catches the ground thru the motorola plug (standard plug used for many years, but has gone by wayside in the last 10 years or so) and if you had to add an adapter of any sort it may not allow it to work correctly also ...


So try what I wrote and if not, take a piece of wire and touch it from the adapter to ground and see if it works also.....

other than that all I can suggest is JC whitney

i have a few cell phone antenna booster and i have a wireless internet, but there is no signal in my room, so will the cell phone antenna booster work with the wireless modem to boost up the signal?

probably not.
