Winegard Boost XT 20dB Pre-Amp for Outdoor HDTV Antennas (LNA-200)

The only problem is the power supply. It loosens up and then TV is intermittent. I got the newer version from the company and one was a failure and the other got just 30 of the stations I previously got. So I just used the NEW power supply and the old one worked fine. The power supply is a horrible design would be much better if it was a transformer, which is much more stable.

I used this amplifier with an Yagi Antenna RCA ANT751R s and Antenna direct 91XG and also compared with AP8275 low noise amplifier. The TV picture quality was very good because of very low noise floor and higher signal to noise ratio. 18 to 20 Db gain is more than adequate to take care of the cable attenuation( my TVs are about 125 feet of cable, about 8 Db loss) from the signal Antenna source plus an additional 6db. splitter and combiner losses. A second antenna( FL6550A) faces towards Boston TV stations. FL6550A also has similar built in LNA200 amplifier design. The combined signals(Two fixed Antennas pointing in opposite directions, no rotor needed) feed multiple TVs getting good Signals of different channels of viewers choice at the same time). Separate Gain stage( for VHF and UHF Frequencies) and low noise frontend components Makes this amp. differentiates from many other products in the market. A nice device indeed.

I hooked it up to my Hdb91x and I pickup 1 more station that I wasn't getting and it also strengthened all my other channels, but the real surprise was the next morning I thought I would try to scan in some distance channels and it did the job. I was able to get all Columbus,Oh stations that are 100 miles away tropo. Eventhough I can't get them all the time I now have them scanned in my tuner when I get a skip,which so far has been every morning since I added this pre amp. If you want to add stability to your existing channels and be able to pickup distant channels from time to time this pre amp is the way to go.Also the one LP station, I now get a signal to the south where as before I could only get it pointed directly to the transmitter NW of me.This pre amp made a huge difference for me. I'm ecstatic at the results.

My old system, installed by the previous home owner, blew over in a storm. I replaced everything but the amplifier and the rotator. The PS-7000 was needed, but old. This unit was just installed, a Solid Signal Deal of the Day. Signal strength is better on all channels, but has been particularly improved on channels that are about 60 degrees off of the new antenna's direction. I will not need to replace the rotator because of this. Very satisfied! For reference, I am receiving signal from Chicago (40 miles) and South Bend, Indiana (30 miles).

The other tennants told me I couldn't get any tv on my side of the building, because of the chruch. They were wrong.

Installed with new antenna and booster and everything is working great. Cannot not tell how much this helped but best channels we have ever recieved

We live in a very rural, mountainous area (closest transmission tower is 120 miles). Without the help of an amplifier, such as the LNA-200 it would be impossible to receive any signal in most areas.

I am really happy with this product.I live 35 miles from any major city and was having a rough time getting 10 channels,I now get 23!Very satisfied!

Install (4 days ago) included new UHF & VHF antennas at higher elevation. Noticeably better signal and more channels, but atmospheric changes over the day may account for signal changes. Sometime when Boston fades out, Providence RI(!) comes in. BUT the power supply throws out ENORMOUS amount of RFI especially noticeable on the lower AM band making non-local AM radio unlistenable. This would have lowered my rating more but I am hoping Winegard can fix this.

I thought I would give this preamp a try in place of the low noise multimedia amplifier that I have been using. Even though the signal strength hasn't increased with this preamp, the signal quality has significantly improved. Some of the weaker stations that used to pixelate badly or drop out are now completely clear. Other stations that didn't come in at all now come in weak. I am getting signal strengths between 90 and 100 on stations over 60 miles away with an indoor db4e antenna. This preamp will now be my first choice for any initial antenna connection. One thing to watch out for though. Be careful with the power inserter. It appears to be very fragile so don't attempt to screw the connectors on too tight.
