Motorola 484095-001-00 Signal Booster

When using your TV or computer, there's nothing more frustrating than encountering poor reception. Now there's a fast and effortless way to make your signal strength up to 32 times more powerful! The Motorola Signal Booster enhances analog and digital picture quality, improves cable modem communication, and reduces lost data. It's easy to install and tools are not required. This device also allows you to optimize multiple broadband devices in your home - televisions, cable set-top boxes, cable modems, VCRs, and digital radios - all from one convenient cable. Clearly, the Motorola Signal Booster is a strong alternative to weak signal quality.

First booster arrived defective but replacement is working perfectly and has met all my expectations. It provides 15db boost thru splitters to 4 tv,s with no visable distortion or hum in the pictures. One of the tv,s is a 1080p Sony HDTV. Very satisfied. Bill M.

This thing does exactly what it's supposed to do. Used it on a weak cable TV line ahead of a splitter and it cleaned up the signal beautifully. Some amps with higher noise figures will just increase the noise along with the signal. Not this puppy... if you have decent SNR coming in (only weak), you should have a nice, clean signal coming out. Kudos to Motorola for a great design.

Very easy to install and does what it claims to do, which is make a cable signal which was borderline unwatchable on some stations to ghost free. Be sure to install it where the cable feed comes into the house so it handles all jacks.

When I was shopping for a stronger antenna, this device came up as something others buy along with an antenna. Made sense. Obviously, and regrettably, many other people people thought it made sense, too. A signal booster might be a good thing to buy along with a better antenna. Wow! A 99.00 machine for 38.00. The deal seems too "good" to be "true". It is. The device cut my reception from 25 to 3 channels. I am assured on the package that it is the same device that the pros use. And simple to install. (It was--only three steps.) The machine might be "good"-- ... for something having to do with cables, signals and TVs. A use that some kind of "pro" would appreciate. But it appears that one of Motorola's claims is not "true": it will not boost antenna signal. Or if it does, one must hire or be a pro to know how to Gerry-rig the 484095-001-00 Signal Booster so that it will, well, you know, boost signals. (Not being a pro I use layman's terms.) Of course, there is another possibility: judging from other reviews, a great many of which were positive, it may be that some are good even to a novice, but a great number of these contraptions are simply defective, and it is the luck of the draw if a customer received one that actually works as advertised. In which case it is "true" that some are "good", but also that many are not--or are only so in an expert implementation unable to be appreciated by the hoi polloi. Amazon is great about free postage on returns, but Motorola is costing Amazon money by their false advertisement and/or crummy workmanship. If Motorola wants to make another misleading claim I have a suggestion: "The 484095-001-00 Signal Booster also works well as an attractive and inexpensive paperweight." They could write it alongside their oracular claim that the device is "the same as the one that the pros use".

I have an outdoor VHF/UHF directional antenna and used the booser to get some of the weaker digital stations to come in better. It's not as strong as I had hoped but better than they were before. It seems the winter weather creates some of the problems because when the weather is good all the stations come in strong with no pixeling.
