Televes Smartkom Antenna Amplifier and Combiner for up to 3 Antennas (531981)

Paired a LR DAT Boss with an Eclipse Mix in place of an old Channel Master. The results are much improved for the stations we were receiving to the side and slightly improved for the stations we were receiving 85 miles away. The SmartKom works very well but the app is a bit glitchy and the instructions are abominable. YouTube helps a bit but Televes needs to get their act together with instructions! Overall I am pleased!

The Smartkom combiner works much better than just using a three way splitter in reverse. However, when combining the signals from three antennas with the Smartkom I'm not getting the sum total of what I was getting individually, I'm only getting about one half of the sum. Without the Smartkom I get 57 channels from my best antenna. With the smartkom I get between 39 to 45 channels from all three antennas. Before I got Smartkom I had 3 antenna systems (antenna, pre-amp, distribution amp, and 3 separate cables to a 3 way hi-isolation switch; where I selected which antenna system went through to the TV). The Smartkom is more convenient than frequently switching between antenna systems, but dropping off half of the available channels is a high cost.

This product is awesome thx to the best company around

This was exactly what I needed. It works great.

I live in a borderline rural area in SE Wisconsin that, while within range of four markets (Milwaukee, Chicago, Rockford, and Madison) the closest is 41 miles away and not LOS, 2 are straight through trees AND my rotor that I've had for 6 years gave up the ghost. Was about to grab another rotor when I came across this piece of kit. I picked up an 8-bay to add to my Televes LR Mix (original model) with a plan to get Madison on the 8-bay and Chicago on the LR Mix for my beloved Bears. My plan was BLOWN AWAY by this device. I can pull strong signals from ALL FOUR markets with the SmartKom using just two antennas. After a bit of setup and assigning channels to the different antennas for optimum results I have over 80 channels total. Plus NO MORE RETUNING with the combiner. I pulled my previous distribution amp out of the mix as it's not needed with the SmartKom. If you're a rotor user or even a normal user looking for the best pre-amp and control, GET THIS, you won't be disappointed.
