Anyone have opinions on the Wineguard HDA 200? Or are there better devices out there? I need a low noise, low to modest signal increase, 2 output amp.
I need to add a 2 way splitter at one TV, the signal is already split with a 2 way. Adding the second at the TV in question drops signal to the point that TV losses about half its channels.
I'm thinking that I only need 4 to 5 db increase to compensate for the added loss of the splitter. Using a 18 db gain pre-amp overloaded my tuner severely.
Supposedly the gain HDA200 is adjustable, although the instructions on doing that are as clear as a muddy farm pond. I was hoping I could turn it down to the minimum but the only thing I can find on it is how to turn it up.
And the reason for all this is the wife factor. :rolleyes: She just can't wrap her head around watching TV through the computer. I don't want to give up my recording on the PC, but need to make the TV work the same as "her" TV in the bedroom. :confused: I think she can understand pushing the source button on the remote, hopefully.
