Question about amplifier

No, I'm not opposed to 54 to 1000mhz splitters, but I would like to have
some bandwidth with mine even though that their is no channels below 54mhz
for OTA. It works great for me.Let the OP decide what he wants to do.Enough
said.

If your old amplifier doesn't work out after trying it, get a 5 to
!000MHZ ( 1GIG ) Drop Amp, either 10DB gain or 20DB gain. Replace all
your splitters in your line with 5 to 1000MHZ splitters

...as opposed to 54-1000MHz splitters?

And why must he use splitters/drop amps with 5 MHz low ends if they
are in an antenna system?

Maybe you should read the sentence again,that it would work well with FM and
VHF. For the UHF channels, it would "probably "work for R/F channels 14
(470mhz) and 23 (525mhz).And that it would rolloff or attenuate at 450mhz,
meaning, that the higher channels start "going down the hill" or attenuate,
go to "snow".It was not definite that UHF would work with the amplifier.

I'm having reception issues, despite living no more than 25 miles from

amplifier hooked into the cable lines, which I no longer use.

I'm wondering if using it could help boost reception. It's listed as
VHF/FM 12db, 50-450 Mhz. I tried installing it just before my tuner
(Zinewell ZAT-600HD..first gen chipset), and it didn't help.
Wondering if hooking it up in the attic, where my antenna (a Winegard
HD 1080 VHF/UHF) is installed, might work.

Being that it's listed as VHF/FM I kind of doubt it, but I thought I'd
ask anyway.

It might work well for your FM and VHF channels, but for the UHF
channels, it would probably work for R/F channels 14 thru 23UHF,

Huh? What makes you believe that an amp labeled as 50-450MHz would "work
well" at UHF frequencies 472 MHz to 526 MHz (channels 14-23 UHF) ??

Original poster he

The real channels I was trying to improve are 28,34, and 27. It's
apparent this amp won't do the trick.

I believe my problem is my aging set top ATSC tuner, because of my
relatively close proximity to the broadcast antennas (30 miles or
less).

I'm not splitting the signal from my attic antenna. One high quality
50ft coax line running straight from the antenna to the tuner. No
splitters.

Would appriciate any suggestions that could keep me from spending $$
on a new tuner.

Maybe you can ask for his old amp after he replaces it, then you can run
your little test on it and you can tell us!

Huh? In other words, you goofed (again) and can't figure a way out of it.

Is your attic antenna UHF? Are you also going to try to receive VHF OTA
-DT signals. What make/model of tuner are you using? What is your zip code?
*If* that old amplifier is still connected, remove it.

you would cop an attitude.If your not nice, your dominant mommie will take
your Fisher-Price Computer away from you and lock you in your padded closet

Ah, returning to your most comfortable level, I see. You're SO predictable.

Oh, I have, but I'm not through with you.You need a attitude adjustment.
