Motorola has one thats 12 db. for $10 . Another brand is 20 db for
$18. Theres a bunch of specs on the back of both..but i have no idea
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.

What I was meaning to say, but didn't say it very well, is that the
signal amplifier can really only compensate for cable/splitter losses.
It won't pull a good signal out of a noisy signal.
Only a good well-sited antenna can make a clean signal in the first
place.
