But the incoming signal is quite good in terms of noise, just not enough power to overcome the losses downstream with multiple outputs. But if the input signal is noisy, the amplifier will also amplify the noise (it has to, it cannot manufacture a higher signal without also higher noise). An indoor antenna usually has little downstream losses, an amplified indoor antenna would be useful where signal levels are OK, but losses in the cable or splitter after the indoor antenna exist, or the TV set is very insensitive. Otherwise it would serve little purpose. |

We were told that we'd need quite an expensive setup to get a decent view where we live. But the satellite dish gives us brilliant reception (when it's not storming outside). | Greg (193) | ||
