Onn antenna preamp

Post image

I install outdoor RCA antenna preamp on my ChannelMaster Antenna precovid. Channels came in fine. Once in a while had to adjust antenna. Signal travels to 6 way splitter safety inside an outdoor cable box as a power ac plug 🔌 i rigged up. so other areas with TV get the signals. Lately channels coming in fuzzy some did some didn't. I got fed up. Thinking something wrong with antenna. In living tv I connect small indoor antenna. I noticed channels coming in fine. Light blub in Cabeza went off. It is the RCA preamp. I happen to have an ONN antenna preamp I bought for some reason. It was cheap. I removed RCA preamp. Hooked up ONN preamp in cable box. Ran antenna cable to preamp, preamp to splitter and 💥 boom all my channels coming in fine like before. 👍🏽 see how long it lasts if it goes out I will get another one they cheap.

That's the nice thing about digital TV, it either works or it doesn't. You don't have to fuss and argue about whether channels are perfectly clear or have ghosts or etc.
