Number of tv points - Not how many used but how many tv points are connected to the antenna system? (This is highly variable and not a good indication as some areas/situations - 1 or more tv points require an antenna amplifier and other areas/situations 8 or more tv points can run with no antenna amplifier at all).(All of which, an antenna amplifier can equally be detrimental making tv reception worse rather than better) Here is just a few reasons why an antenna amplifier may be diagnosed as necessary: So incorrectly used or installed antenna amplifiers are the culprit for many, many tv reception problems just as much as wrongly chosen, or old under-performing antennas, bad cabling and incorrectly tuned televisions. Why wouldn't an antenna amplifier just be used every time?įor technical reasons that would require 4 years of study I will give you the short explanation - 'If you have TOO MUCH or TOO HIGH of a signal strength your digital tv reception will pixelate as well. Proper digital antenna amplifiers used in the antenna industry are typically NOT available in retail because they are not installable without a signal meter. An antenna amplifier is only as good as the quality, style and correct installation. So what does an antenna amplifier do?īasically, it 'boosts' signal strength. This article is more to give you information to help you understand/accept the pitfalls and reasoning behind why a antenna amplifier is used, what they do, and why you may or may not need one. This really depends on so, so many factors.
