Televes 2-Input TForce Mast Amplifier with BOSS-Tech and “F” Power Supply Unit

After hearing many great things about Televes products I decided to get this preamp to help stabilize some iffy channels for my parents. Most channels jumped from the mid 70s to upper 90s and even 100% in strength and quality with this preamp. We’ll see how it does during a Canadian winter, but I may buy one for myself.

I love this. I've been using a two antenna set up for a while now but many channels were unreliable. So I did my research on the technical aspects of combining two antenna signals (gain, filtering, etc), which led me to this. I live between two TV markets, one about 55 miles north, the other 50 miles south. After hooking it up, and doing my channel scan, I picked up 77 strong clear digital channels. The most I have ever received was 66 with other brands/setups, and again many of those at times were "no signal available." This is the best thing I've ever used for signal processing by far. I bought with a coax cable with built in rubber boots to help with keeping the moisture out. No issues using those at connection points.

I live in a rural area, and have VHF channels at one bearing and UHF channels on another, so I put up two antennas and voila, it works like a champ. Having separate gain controls in the amp lets you match the two and an auxiliary output in the house lets you connect 2 dvr / receiviers.Highly recommend.

I'm in a fringe area surrounded by hills with very few channels. Without an amp I get three - one fairly reliably, one maybe half of the time, and one only if weather conditions are perfect. Even the best channel is only 60% signal quality. All are in the 30 to 40 mile range and a mix of uhf and vhf-hi in a 45 degree arc. Adding this amp gave me all three channels at 100% and a forth at 75%. No pixelization, no overdriven signals. Just a perfect picture.If I had one complaint it would be the seal on the weatherproof housing is too small for the huge connectors on RG11.

I have an attic setup using the UHF-only version of the Range Experts Insane Gain antenna. The passive performance of the antenna was better than my previous flat antenna, however my local Fox station was spotty while I could not watch the PBS station at all. I also have an LTE range extender installed in the home. So, it was important for me to have a 4G/5G filter on my pre-amp. After installation, the local Fox and PBS stations were rock solid. Very happy!!Pros: Sturdy construction of electronics, and they appear to be high quality. Improved reception for one spotty station and gained a second compared to a passive antenna setup. 4G/5G filtering built in.Cons: The plastic case for the pre amp is certainly not water tight and will not close if your coaxial connectors are bigger in circumference. It seems that it was designed with some relatively small circumference connectors in mind.
