Product Description
The Channel Master Ultra Mini 2 distribution amplifier will boost TV signals, increasing the overall signal strength for distribution throughout the home. The Ultra Mini 2 offers two amplified output ports allowing connectivity for up to two televisions without losing signal strength. Channel Master distribution amplifiers will work with all TV antenna installations. In addition, these HDTV signal amplifiers can be used with analog and digital RF distribution applications such as Cable TV where high performance and reliability are required.
The Ultra Mini 2 distribution amplifier is ideal for TV antenna installations with up to two televisions. Regular splitters will cause significant loss of signal strength which equates to poor picture quality, pixelation and channel dropouts. These amplifiers allow users to split and run their TV signal to multiple televisions in the home without risking a drop in signal strength.
The Ultra Mini HDTV Signal Amplifiers include a heavy-duty powder coated housing and weather-sealed ports allowing for indoor or outdoor installation in virtually any climate.

Here's how I successfully installed HDTV service in our home to drop pay TV.
After going to www.antennaweb.org to determine which direction to face my antenna, I mounted a Clearstream 4v in my attic facing those HDTV station antennas. (The 'v' in '4v' means the antenna includes a VHF antenna, which is commonly needed for HDTV reception. Some HDTV antennas include just a UHF antenna. See http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/dtvmaps/ for more UVH/VHF information.) Then I ran 65-ft of Blue Jeans RG-6 cable to this amplifier, and then BJC RG-6 coax cables to the other TVs. At first, I just ran the single BJC RG-6 coax to an HDTV to check the signal. Adding in this Channel Master amp allowed the TV to pick up the signal better out of the noise and provided us with additional channel reception. It gave me buy-in from the rest of the family to drop pay TV. From this amp I ran other BJC RG-6 coax to other TVs, including one 50-ft coax to one of the TVs that gets a decent HDTV signal. Since I value my time, I made sure to get decent equipment throughout.
I tried moving the amplifier close to the antenna, but it still didn't make any difference whether it's in the circuit and working or whether it is taken out and I'm just running the straight antenna into my tv. I'm electing to get the upgraded antenna that he suggested and also an upgraded amplifier. Total cost of those two would be $215, compared with about $115 for the original GE antenna and basic Channel Master amplifier. It is possible that the amplifier I got is defective. Joe didn't seem to suspect that, but I didn't bring it up either. I decided instead of getting a replacement I would just upgrade to the next level of amplifier. The good thing here is that if I can get a good picture without the amplifier I can return that for a refund. Likewise, if my old, smaller antenna works well with the better amplifier, I can return the larger antenna. In short, I will have the opportunity of trying the combination that gives me the best reception at the best cost.
I was very impressed with Channel Master's customer service. Having just spent an inordinate amount of time trying to contact Google about an unexplained charge on my credit card, and having spent two years arguing with Comcast about bad service. It is a joy to run into a company that takes customer service seriously. Channel Master is the best.
Update: the larger antenna and powered amplifier produce rock stable reception on all but one channel. After numerous tinkering and tech support calls with Channel Master, I finally called the weak station. They are limited by the FCC and unable to produce a stronger signal, and it's on VHF rather than UHF. The bottom line is there is nothing to be done short of getting a deep fringe antenna. In short, Channel Master provided good support and good product. I will sort out the best combination of equipment for my location. The problem channel is going to have to remain aproblem so long as heat and humidity are high in Tennessee! Hmm October.
Top reviews from other countries
To resolve this issue, I got the 4-way distribution amplifier from Channel Master and hooked up the three TVs, leaving the fourth port unused (on a side note, I am using the pre-existing coax setup from my long-ago cable TV provider housed in an outside plastic case to pull in the OTA signal).
The net result of this was that I got all of my stations back, and I got the two Hamilton stations too! So the Hamilton stations were likely too weak when I split it into two, but were restored when I used the distribution amplifier.
The amplifier itself is sturdy and heavy with a smooth painted finish, so it would last even if it were completely exposed to the elements. I love that the input power is provided through a coax cable because you can use your existing coax cable installation to provide power to the unit without running another power cord into your box. I simply plugged the wall wart near one of my unused TV jacks, used a short coax cable to connect the wall wart to the jack, then connected the other end of the corresponding coax line to the power input of the unit. Very easy and I didn't have to use one of my outdoor AC outlets to power the unit. Just make sure that the power-providing coax line is completely isolated and is not connected (via splitter) to any other cables, then test the voltage (~13V DC) of the other end of the power coax cable before you screw it into the unit.
Ventajas:
-Mejora la Señal de Televisión (la Amplifica y se ve mejor la imagen del canal)
-No hay perdida en la señal de Televisión o Internet por cable y ligeramente mejora esta ultima un poco (No es un divisor/splitter por lo que no disminuye la señal)
-Es fácil de Instalar, tan solo se conecta un cable coaxial a un regulador de voltaje que el mismo producto trae, y después solo se conectan los cables al amplificador y a la luz para que el aparato funcione (trae un manual donde se muestran las conexiones, sin embargo recomiendo ver tutoriales por Internet para una mejor comprensión de su uso).
-Tiene 4 salidas para la señal (Solo he usado 2; una para el cablemodem que es el internet y otra para la señal de televisión y ambas funcionan correctamente)
- No se calienta en exceso, el Amplificador lo he utilizado dos días seguidos y su temperatura es lo que podría considerarse como normal (se siente tibio)
Desventajas
-Si el Amplificador esta desconectado de la corriente eléctrica la señal se ve con mas estática (Si no conectas el Aparato a la corriente electrica y lo quieres usar sin luz como si fuera un divisor de señal no te servirá, porque la imagen se ve mal)
-Si se va la luz el Aparato no mejorara la señal, solo pasará una imagen de los canales al televisor con estática (Sin embargo si se va la luz tampoco funcionará la televisión)
-Es un Aparato algo caro.
-Necesita estar conectado a la luz eléctrica, o si - no la señal de Televisión no se observará bien.
Dislike-the power plug takes up a plug and a half if you're using one of those 6 plugs-into-2-wall-sockets type of plug.
Got this 2 port out booster unit as I just "cut the cable" . Hooked it up this afternoon. Main floor tv (where my wife watches) is closest to the exterior antenna and she got 8 channels without this booster.
With it, total went to 30 channels. Only2 are somewhat pixelated (can be corrected adjusting the antenna).
With my tv (basement, of course) it is hooked up to the same antenna (just reversed the antenna channel feed through the existing cables in the wall). Before the booster, I was lucky to get 5 channels.
With the booster-->15 channels. And the ones I don't get I don't really care about (for example, 3 shopping channels. Really, they need 3?)
ANYWAYS, this is a fantastic option to get additional channels. When scanning for channels, the tv always said it could "see" 30 but I only ever actually got 5 or 6. Same on upstairs tv.
Well worth the investment IMO.
