Not sure. You can’t get something for nothing… the amplification has to come from somewhere… not sure what could be used to create the amplifcation. My mind tells me whatever that “somthing” is… it would be important and might make the amplifcation not worth it, you know?
WARNING: almost everyone seeing this thinks it is a hoax. But they have sold 4,000. Specifies that it works for cable, satellite and OTA for all of $5 LOL. Notice the big difference in quality from their before and after pictures!!! Crazy Eddie can’t beat this deal. Free shipping too.
Try a coaxial A/B switch ($5, manual, powerless). Connect antenna to switch; from switch two cables - one to TV and another to Tablo. Switch allows you to control which device gets the signal and unlike a splitter does not cut the signal in half. Some of them come with remotes for couch potatoes but you don’t want a powered device anyway.
if I remember the one I have say 3.5dB so I was wondering if you could get anything higher non powered.
but it seem I don’t exist, I guess I will have to get a powered something any suggestion?
I have the winegard freevision antenna, a 3-4ft cable then the splitter and another small cable to the tablo and then the other side goes a long way to my other TV’s in the house.
I think we would all like to have a wire with gain, but it simply isn’t possible–that old conservation of energy thing. I’ve tried time and time again over my life to prove Mr. Newton wrong with less then stellar results.
Put simply–you can’t amplify (make something larger) without adding energy. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to you.
