Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Channel Master 3414 4 Outputs Distribution AmplifierCustomer Review: Good addition to Rooftop Antenna Summary: 5 Stars
I started TV antenna project more than a year ago but was stuck with Ladder. I initially ordered Antennas Direct C4 ClearStream4 Outdoor Digital HD TV Antenna. It gives me pretty good reception even just facing window in the room at upstairs but my wife hates to see the huge thing in her cozy office room and I wanted to completely replace all tv connection to timewarner cable to air. The only problem for me was ladder. My two story house is small but tall and I needed a tall ladder which may cost $200-$300 (or more) to reach roof and I wonder if I needed it again after installing antenna. So, this nice antenna collected dust in my garage about a year and finally I decided to hire someone has ladder and experience which costs me $150 for labor and guarantees the result (save me from the risk to climb up to the roof).
Installation seems pretty straightforward with just one additional cheap mounting kit (Skywalker SKY32812) and a 3' long strong pipe I bought from home depot. I actually asked him to install this antenna by side of the roof since the pipe is long enough. It's same place with satellite antennas installed on every other house's roof in my community. I didn't want to get in trouble with HOA.
I returned to my living room, removed cable service connection, hooked up this and there's no channel scanned at all!
It turns out the closest room to the distribution center in my house has some reception but not as strong as direct connection to the antenna.
I decided to buy an amplifier since the cabling in my house seems too long which might cause high impedance and ordered Channel Master CM3414 Distribution Amplifier. It was painful to wait another week for it's delivery but worthy!
After getting the amplifier and replacing the old distributor with this, I could get 80 free digital channels in all three rooms of my home! It's amazing since I could just get less than 30 channels even with direct connection to antenna when it stood up facing window in the room upstairs.
Sometimes, few channels cause trouble for a moment by certain weather condition but I'm totally satisfied with this.
As others said, some HD channels are even clearer than timewarner cable.
I just disconnected timewarner and subscribed AT&T DSL internet only service which saves me more than $35 per month. (Timewarner's basic broadcasting programming is now $22/mo and internet basic is $42/mo which is crazy)
I heard ppl lives in urban area can get 100~200 free digital channels just by installing this kind of antenna on their rooftop. So, I strongly recommend anyone else this amplifier with rooftop antenna!
