Best Booster on the Market
Prior to purchasing the Motorola amp, I purchased and installed the TERK AMP-15, which worked very well (until the cable company did a disconnect recently and apparently short-circuited the input). Upon reconnecting my cable service, the cable-tv tech noted that my TERK AMP-15 was no longer working. Rather than just order another TERK, I decided to check the alternatives. Checking the specs, I noticed the Motorola Signal Booster is a similar product, however the specs are much better (2.5 dB ...

Good Cable Modem - PPView-On-Demand Amp
In order to handle cable modems or "interactive" cable TV boxes, an amplifier must be able to pass a return signal to the cable provider. The Motorola Signal Booster will pass the return signal with a -1 db loss (according to the specifications). It will also amplify the forward signal by +15db (again specs). So if you have a bunch of two-way splitters, each causing about -4.0 db loss (a good one will be around -3.5 db) this amplifier will power through about three of these splitters to your ...

Signal booster/amplifier does the job
I had a good quality cable signal going to a cable modem and TV. I started splitting the cable signal to go to 2 VCRs for a total of 4 devices. I also noticed that the TV signal was starting to get very noisy with this latest amount of signal splitting. I did some research on the subject and found a very good solution in this Motorola signal booster. Once I hooked up the amplifier to the cable signal (the manufacturer recommends to do this as close to the incoming signal source) I was gratif...

GREAT PURCHASE!! :)
I have spent alot of money on trying to improve the cable television reception on my computer monitor... which was pretty bad at first. In order to improve it, I bought a somewhat costly surge protecter for power conditioning, A $30 Monster gold plated splitter, and 3 Monster gold plated coaxial cables that were only 3 feet long, but were priced at $30 EACH. They did make significant improvement in the picture and sound quality, but nothing like the signal booster which improved my signal to n...

excellent product
before I installed the unit my cable tv signal was fuzzy on all of our 5 televisions. Our cable internet was also having trouble loosing sync with our internet provider. It was very frustrating. I installed the signal amplifier right before the first splitter and it works perfectly. Cable internet speeds are around 1.4MB, blazing. All of the televisions are crystal clear also. It seems to be powerful enough for the televisions and the internet for me. Great product.

Great Picture
Ever since my cable company installed digital cable in my house I have had picture problems. The analog pictures were grainy and half of the digital pictures didn't come in. They just said they would arrive shortly but never did. Numerous calls to the cable company failed to come up with a permanent fix. So I decided to take matters in my own hands. Other boosters made things worse. When I saw that this one worked with digital as well as analog I decided to give it a try. I first hooked i...

Bye bye Comcast!
I bought a Sharp Aquos before Christmas and recently started exploring OTA HDTV. When I bought my house there was an antenna in the attic (a classic VHF/UHF antenna), so I hooked that up to the TV to see what channels I could get. Unfortunately, my local Fox affiliate would not tune and my local NBC station was intermittent--they are both about 35-40 miles away.
I first tried switching to a "HD" antenna, but this was worse than the classic antenna.
Then I hooked up the si...

Great for Cable Modem... but not enough for TV.
For those people who are unable to beg the cable company to provide you with a signal amplifier, this is the investment that you should not skip. The amplifier boost my cable connection to full 1.5Mbps incoming and 128Kbps outgoing, which is the maximum rate my cable company provides. Before that I am just getting around 700Kbps and 50Kbps, respectively.Cable companies tend to not giving out this signal amplifier unless their techicans found that their modem can't sync without one. But a m...

Real life review
I have had three (see update at the end) of these. Here are my observations and recommendations:
Out of the box, the first unit worked well and produced fair to good picture improvement but eventually started to act up after an electrical storm. It now works intermittently and often produces a degraded picture and passes no cable modem signal. Because I was somewhat satisfied with the price, performance, and brand name, I bought a second unit to replace the damaged one.
