A worthwhile investment if you have fuzzy cable screens or slow cable modem speed.

Office Depot undercutting Buy.com by a dollar!
Ben has had this listed for years from Buy.com, it seems.

sorry NUS this isn't gonna help slow speeds on a modem. It'll clear up a snowy pic but thats about it.

Yep don't juice up your modem's line, you should always bypass any sort of home amplification except for your tvs! As a former cable field tech you only amplify garbage when you do this. If your modem isn't getting a clean or ample signal you need to bitch at your cable company to fix the issue in on the plant or correct the wiring feeding you the RF.

If the signal coming into your house it bad, this won't make it better, will only make the bad signal go further in your house. If you have long coax runs or lots of splits this may help.

Like popnwave said, don't use this on your modem. I have an amplifier in my house, but the professional installed bypassed the amp for the run to my study.

My dad sent me this after he switched to Verizon Fios. I had some problems on the HD channels, macroblocking and the Cable Modem was dropping often. I was also have alot of trouble with my Happ Tuner on the PC on HD channels it was basically unwatchable, audio drops/blank screens, the Happag had a db monitor on the HD channles and it brought all the channels up by 3-4 DB, I'm pretty sure your normal cable box boosts the signal some, while these cheap computer atsc/ntsc/qam computer based tuners have no amplification.

I am running it at the source coming into the house and I have noticed much cleaner picture and faster internet with no drops at all, I do have alot of splitters and some long runs though.

I called and complained and the cable company installed one free, so unless you are stealing cable or have a nickle and dime service provider I suggest trying to call before forking over cash.

This worked well for us when our picture degraded after installing a 3rd TV.

if I live in the stone age and use rabbit-ear antenna, is this thing gonna help my reception?

I bought one 2 years ago and it works very well.

I've had mixed results with this. Like #4 says, it hasn't helped the cable modem. The combination of splitters, surge protector, outlets, and booster took a lot of tweaking. Having moved this setup to multiple houses, in the end, I skip the booster and my expensive little monster 2Ghz splitters for some cheapy comcast provided splitter. I'm not sure what the difference was but things were finally running right. Then I got rid of digital cable and got some fancy rabbit ears. Saving lotsa bucks each month.

Don't have Modem signal probs...

But I do have some channel bleeding on the analog stuff... Specially on CBS... Where half of the football games are on Sunday...

There seems to be a ghost feed that is ahead of the main feed... So u see the play in shadow form before it happends...

Does anybody know if this will help a prob like that??

I split the main line into 2, one for modem & one to a splitter into 2 tv's for backup analog cable...
