Within last few years I've owned and used most known amplifiers in the market : Winegard LNA-200, RCA TVPRAMP1Z , Channel Master Titan and an old Archer with adjustable gain. Some of these had select-able FM-trap. Being an engineer; I'm very through with my antenna positioning, gain setup, components I use etc. With digital TV broadcasting, there are two parameters that we deal: signal level (strength) and signal quality. At my location (using above mentioned different amplifiers); I didn't have a problem with signal level. It's the random drops on signal quality that I suffered on certain few channels (UHF 38, 39 and 48). As you know; we experience this as "pixelation", dropped audio/video. I tried all variables available to me; gain, positioning, different amplifiers. Nothing helped with such random quality drops. My tuner shows two separate bars for signal level and quality. While both of them at perfect 100%; suddenly you start getting hits at signal quality - then after a while you return to perfect signal. It's nothing to do with weather, as I had them in all kind of weather. The first step was switching to this GE amplifier. It's really ultra-low noise, that I can receive more channels at much better condition (compared to others - which some of them are at 3X cost). The product is made for GE by a Taiwanese company called Jasco. If you look at their web site; they OEM manufacture high quality electronic accessories for companies as Philips and GE. Interestingly; no numerical technical info is available for specs. They only mention "Low-noise amplification improves signal-to-noise ratio" and I certainly attest to that. It's really the best performance - compared to above mentioned amplifiers. Build quality is quite nice(design, provided AC adapter, signal injector, even the boots to cover your RG6 connectors, provided instructions etc). Product is very new; as it's only released in May 2019. At this price level, I believe that this amplifier will climb to segment leadership quite fast. It's so sad here Amazon mixes reviews of all different GE products together. On this Amplifier Amazon shows 593 reviews. But when you actually sort all those reviews for this actual product; it's only a handful. On my quest to win on that signal quality drops; I tried different filters. I tried 4G/LTE filter (thinking that nearby cell towers might be causing interference); no help at all. I tried FM-trap filter; no help. Then instead of fighting all hypothetical interference sources; I thought about actually if VHF-UHF Band-Pass Filter exists? Lo and behold it did : https://www.amazon.com/VHF-UHF-Band-Pass-174-214-470-700MHz-Special/dp/B07HQX5VT2/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=VHF-UHF+band-pass+filter&qid=1566951674&s=gateway&sr=8-1 I actually bought this cheaper from that other "bay" web site. It came all the way from Slovakia. What it does is; it only passes VHF-UHF frequencies (so it helps against your local HAM radio transmitters and anything else). It improved signal quality situation better. But I still time to time get milder drops. When we switch to 5G cell network; we'll probably have harder time with OTA TV signal quality, due to interference.

Update: The amplifier worked fine for 2 days, then failed. I may go back to a PCT or Channel Master distribution amplifier. My home is 20-35 miles from the transmitting antennas, and I have an RCA yagi in the attic, about 20' above ground. Roof is asphalt shingles. I was using a PCT 4 port distribution amplifier, which failed after 5 years. Installed an old 4 way DirecTV splitter as an interim fix, but signal was weak and a few stations pixellated or disappeared. Installed the GE amp ahead of the splitter and I'm getting better reception now than with the PCT setup. Many stations full strength. The DirecTV splitter has power pass-through, which allowed me to locate the power supply and power inserter downstairs where it's cooler. Very pleased with this little amp. By the way the DirecTV splitter is available on Amazon, B00BW60R68. It's inexpensive and it gets good reviews. Don't forget to put 75Ω terminators on unused ports.

I had issues with one of the channels with LNA-200. For whatever reason it would not work with the amplifier even though it worked without it. Not having an amp was not an option though as other channels did not work. I noticed this GE branded amp and decided to try it. And it worked. Problematic channel is now strong, so are all other channels. Generally signal is stronger compared to LNA-200 on all channels, at least according to HD Home Run signal status. It is also very inexpensive.

In the grand scheme of things I paid $25 and it survived two buffalo winters. It was only the great Buffalo Blizzard of 22 that killed it. I have no channels currently. I have the amp on the antenna on my roof just outside my attic and the power inserter in my basement just before a splitter. I lose a channel upstairs compared to downstairs but I'm pretty sure anamplified splitter would fix that. Again I can't complain too much $25 for two years of free TV. I think I'll buy another right now and get the GE amplified splitter too for $23 and be set for another two years. Can't go wrong.

I had mixed results and replaced with Televes and saw improvement but at three times the cost. This might work well in urban settings but not fringe areas. I am 100 miles from the LA stations I am trying to receive.

This was the special sauce that sorted out my fire recast set up. I picked up the GE attic antenna, and direct into my TV, signal was good enough, so I picked up the recast Dvr but started having weak signal issues on almost every channel. A lot of what I read made it look like the recast didn't play nice with amplified antenna signals, but this amplifier had pretty good reviews, so I figured I'd roll the dice once it was available (because it's not always available), and it appears to be worth the wait. I couldn't figure out exactly how to hook it up based on the reviews, but it's really straightforward. I bought a 1 foot coax that fits between the antenna and box, the box is zip tied to the antenna mast in the attic, and then I have my 15' coax that ran to the recast. There's a little dongle hooked up on the other end of the coax where it goes into the recast. That's where the included power supply joins the chain. No need to run electricity to an outlet by the antenna in the attic. Simple to add to my set up, and no longer getting the constant weak signal notifications from the recast, win win!
