what they mean. When buying one, what do u want in one when price is
really secondary ? Looking for a clearer picture from distant tv
signals. Thanks .


It is really the antenna that determines performance on weak signals.

You need enough signal from the antenna to operate just one TV down
inside the house.

A booster amplifier can compensate for splitting the antenna signal
cable run into extra cable runs to more locations - as in more TV's
than just the one.
