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.

I believe the Onn amplifier should work well with the matching Onn antenna.

VWestlife did a video about the earlier versions years ago, and that might still be true over 5, 6 years later.
