Q: Do I need to use an amplifier with my TV antenna?

A: In some areas, broadcast signals are strong enough that an amplifier is not necessary. Connect the antenna to the TV/converter box without an amplifier first. If you are not receiving a clear picture on some channels, then install an amplifier with your antenna. For indoor antennas, we recommend the ClearStream In-Line Amplifier. For outdoor or attic antennas, installations with long cable runs (100 ft. or more) and/or when using splitters, we recommend the ClearStream JUICE Preamplifier.
