I used this amplifier trying to reduce the dropouts on a TV station ~40 miles away. The "typical" noise figure specified is better than the old amplifier, and the specified gain is higher, but the occurrences of pixellation and complete dropouts doesn't seem improved. I don't have the gear to actually verify the NF or gain. Oh well, it was worth a try.

Ultra Mini 1 distr amp

Cable loss and splitter give me about a 12 dB loss. The Ultra Mini 1's 15 dB gain, even with 2 dB NF, nicely compensates and works well.
The only shortcoming is that it seems susceptible to damage when power is restored after outages. I replaced one last summer after a power loss and just did the same this summer after a tropical storm rolled through. I wised up and am using a surge suppressor now and hopefully that protects it. Very nice product, though.

This amp really boosts TV signal strength!

I was shopping your website for a distribution amp to supply boosted signals to 4 TV's. Your Ultra-Mini 4 seemed like the perfect amp that would eliminate several splitters and increase signal strength. Every time I looked to order one, it was out of stock so I decided to get the Ultra Mini 1 and link it with a 4-way splitter. The results are exceptional as the higher output from the single port easily overcomes any losses from the 4-way splitter and allowed for simpler wiring into my existing RG-6 cable layout. Thanks again for your great products and excellent Tech support!

Attic installation

We live in a Townhome and I have easy access to the attic, however running a wire for an outside antenna would be a challenge. So, I ordered the Omni+50 antenna and the Ultra Mini 1 and placed both in the attic. I then ran the antenna cable to the utility room upstairs and hooked it into my Tablo. I now get almost all of the 49 channels listed in our area. I was very impressed with the quality of both the antenna and the Ultra Mini 1. I would recommend both to anyone looking to "cut the cable."
