Electroline EDA-2400 4-Port Cable TV HDTV Signal Booster/Amplifier (Retail Package with 5-Year Warranty)

Purchased this unit due to long cable runs from the antenna to the telelvision sets. Using this concert with a Channel Master CM7777 pre-amplifier. We have a 100 foot run from the antenna to this distribution amp and another 30-75 feet to different televisions in the home. While the Pre-amp proved to very strong, 175 feet is a long way to push any signal. We placed this unit in our service room about 100 feet from the antenna. Signal is strong to every room in the house with no signal degredation. I would reccomend this unit to friends and family and will likely purchase another for our vacation home. Great product, simple to install.

I had an amplifier connected to 4 sets that were connected directly to cable (no cable box). Our cable company recently changed their service to all digital from digital and analog. In order to view programs I had to get a cable box for each analog set. These boxes could not be activated because the amp I had was only a one way receive; you need a two way amp with the box. I had to remove my amp. The boxes now activated but the picture was not clear. I bought this amp. It works great! All TVs have a much clearer picture than they did with the old amp. It was easy to install.

Seems rare these days to find that you've purchased a product that exceeds your expectations. The EDA-2400 did just that! I'm using it to amplify over-the-air HDTV signals and the results were stunning. Due to a combination of factors: the wavelength of HDTV signals, terrain and density of obstacles (buildings), I'm on the fringe of what you can (reliably) receive from over-the-air HDTV broadcasters; so this amplifier was a must-have. I did some rudimentary test and this baby kicked butt! And the quality of construction was rock-solid! What's even more interesting was how low the price was, when compared to other video amplifiers. I can't speak for CATV applications (which this unit is primarily designed for), but when it came to putting together a my attic-based antenna system, this was the perfect fit. From here, I'll be moving on to tweaking the antenna's orientation, for optimal reception of the HDTV signals. Can't wait to see the results!!!

The product worked well; my reception with no 2-way passive splitter before the amp is the same as my reception after installation of a passive 2-way splitter, one branch feeding the amp, the other my cable modem. The instructions on the box indicate the cable modem could be fed through the amp, but the instruction sheet inside says to use a passive splitter. I wish they could either get their story straight, or explain the pros and cons if there really is no clear answer. The listing does not make it obvious, but the power supply plugs in indoors (120 V AC) and is routed through a coax to the amp, which could be outdoors, becase the housing is weathertight. Just be sure to use waterproof coax connectors if using it outside. You supply your own mounting screws and coax.

I have used these for 13 years to get perfect TV reception with the newer roof mount Channel master, GW, and now I am about to put up a top line rooftop antenna. It uses weatherproof coax from a wall plug to the amp power in, next to the antenna in on one side, and outputs the signal to four coax cables going into the house. I have tied these into the cable cabling to all rooms in our houses and it was just plug and play. Very poor reception without it, perfect with it at our last house as here. They are getting hard to find new so I bought this one as a backup despite never having had one fail yet.

Replacing EDA 400 failing after several years. Installed after Christmas, worked for approx 2 weeks. Then, cable internet sporadically began losing connection, but TV signal continued. Attributed to TWC internet problem. TWC said no system problem. Continued and more often. Replaced cable modem. No joy--kept failing more often. Had TWC tech check cables, replaced some cable, tightened connections. Still internet failed, but TV perfect. TWC elevated to cable engineer who placed signal traps and concluded my wiring was failing, most likely any powered splitter. Over next hour I replaced cables while he tracked signal over their computer feedback. All direct connections and all manual splitters worked perfectly on internet and TV. During this troubleshooting Internet would NEVER work through the EDA 2400 (though the EDA 400 worked on internet for many years) OFF COURSE, ALL THIS TROUBLE SHOOTING USED UP MY 30-DAY RETURN OPTION. I have found out why Electroline discontinued this product. Don't buy. If you do, at first hiccup, however minor, SEND IT BACK!!!

I just went with an outdoor antenna for my TV needs (WOOT! No more cable/satellite bills!). The signal was pretty decent except the low VHF (about 25 miles from the tower). I could get low VHF, but when I split it to the 3 TV's in the house, the signal strength dropped off and I lost reception. Once I put this in place of the splitter, the low VHF came back and all channels are clear. If you're having any doubts about broadcast TV, don't! I think the HD picture quality is better than satellite and MUCH better than cable.
