TV Antenna Booster 8-Port Distribution Amplifier - Boosts OTA Signal

In this review the Channel Master TV Antenna Booster 8-port distribution amplifier is evaluated for homeowners or small multi-room setups who need to split an over-the-air antenna signal without losing reception quality. The bottom line: this compact 2024 model replaces standard eight-way splitters and adds a measured signal gain while filtering 4G/5G interference, so it is best for users who want to feed up to eight TVs from a single indoor or outdoor antenna and expect clearer reception and potentially more channels after rescanning.

Key Features

• 8 Output Ports: Sends the amplified antenna signal to eight separate rooms while replacing and improving on a passive eight-way splitter.
• Built-In LTE Filter: Reduces 4G and 5G interference so UHF and VHF reception remains clean and pixelation is decreased.
• 4.5dB Gain: Provides measurable boost to weak OTA signals to improve channel lock and image stability on multiple TVs.
• Weatherproof Housing: Compact, heavy-duty metal construction lets the unit be mounted indoor or outdoor without special enclosures.
• Wide Band Support: Works with VHF, UHF and FM bands and supports ATSC and ATSC 3.0 NextGen TV formats for current and future broadcasts.
• Commercial-Grade Build: Durable materials and a one year manufacturer warranty give confidence for long-term installation.

Who It's For

This amplifier is ideal for homeowners, landlords or small businesses that rely on over-the-air TV and need to distribute a single antenna feed to multiple rooms without sacrificing reception. It is especially useful where local broadcasts are marginal and a small gain and LTE filtering can recover channels and reduce pixelation.

It is not for cable or satellite signals and should be avoided by users who expect active two-way or DOCSIS-style networking features; it only amplifies and splits OTA broadcast signals. If you already have a strong antenna feed at every TV, a passive splitter may be sufficient.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Improves signal strength and can increase the number of receivable channels after a rescan.
• Built-in 4G/5G LTE filtering preserves signal integrity in areas with mobile interference.
• All-metal, weatherproof design fits both indoor and outdoor installations for flexible placement.
• Eight outputs replace a standard eight-way splitter while adding gain for multiple TVs.

Cons

• Not compatible with cable or satellite signals, so it only serves OTA antenna systems.
• Some buyers may find the price higher than a passive splitter, though performance differs.
