Product ReviewsNippon America 36dB Cable Antenna TV Signal Booster and Amplifier

Best Antenna Booster

Best Antenna Tv Booster that I have bought. This booster brings me more tv channels than I had on another booster that I only thought was good. I was feed up with cable high prices. I don’t have to have those cable channels. I get all the major channels. You get some radio stations and lots of channels. It brings a clear picture. I love my buy.Read full review...

Works as well as old 24dB gain amp for my area & UHF antenna.

Works as well as my old 24dB gain amp, so I can't say whether it's amplifying more than the old one (b/c I can't measure the gain directly) or it's my antenna that has somehow dropped in gain to where I blamed my loss of channels on the old 24dB gain amp.Read full review...

Disappointing Amplifier

There was no perceivable difference in reception with or without the amplifier hooked up even with the gain turned all the way up. I live quite a few miles from the nearest TV station so I have been using amplifiers since living where I currently do. This amplifier was purchased in hopes that it would outperform the one we have been using. We were able to pick up most stations in the room with the longest run of coax cable with the old amplifier but hoped to pick up the channels we could get in other rooms that were closer to the antenna by using this supposedly stronger amplifier. With this amplifier we could only pick up a couple of stations. We hooked the old Radio Shack amplifier back up and we were back to picking up most but not all channels just as before. I would not recommend this amplifier.Read full review...

Defective/Did Not Work on Receipt.

This product would likely be very good except that mine did not work at all when I received it as others had mentioned. It turned out that a wire had become disconnected inside due to a bad soldering job at the Chinese factory but an electronics knowledgeable friend was able to fix it for a small fee for me so I did not have to throw it out!Read full review...

Didn't get the results I was hoping for.

I'm not sure if there is an insufficiency in the product or in the placement of it. It did not boost my TV reception the way I hoped it would and the way a similar product did in another location. But again, this may not be a problem with the product, but I can't honestly report a dramatic improvement as a result of this product.
The service of the company who sent it, in terms of shipping and promptness...was excellent.Read full review...

DID NOT WORK ANY BETTER THAN THE CHEAP ONE I ALREADY HAD INSTALLED

If you don't have a booster, this is as good as any. It definitely improves your signal. I bought it to replace a cheap one that came with a cheap antenna. It did not help.

waste of money for me

I bought it to better receive 2 certain channels for soccer games and it receives every channel except those 2 specific channels so its reduntant,i cant use it,what a waste of money.

It works, but not as well as the other booster I have

The product seems to work well and is easy to use. The knob direction of rotation is not very well marked or visible but overall is a good product.

Totally satisfied

Works very well.
I installed an omnidirectional antenna for FM radio. And with this booster am able to tune in many stations.
And thats with a 70 year old Heathkit tube type radio.
Totally satisfied.Read full review...

overall

This booster will only work with a good antenna system. You can see the boost it gives the available signal. I am glad I bought it but would not do it again.
