I can find lots of indoor digital TV antennas with booster.
I can find lots of outdoor digital TV antennas with booster.
Where the heck can I find just a *booster* for my present outdoor antenna?

Wondered if any BCF'rs use a booster on their digital TV antennas.

Thanks.
Tom M.
 
There's a bunch of them on Amazon. I have no idea how they perform.
Here's two that I found (but there are more)

Thanks Elliot. I've seen those, but can't imagine how they'd "boost" a signal, when those two devices have no power supply of their own. Weird.
 
Tom, Notice the Green LED on the Channel Master photo... it does have a power supply.
5V, 200mA

Look closely at the Winegard on the attached link.... it says "12VDC" printed on the front of the unit.
 
Elliot - thanks. I didn't notice the 5v USB input on that Channel Master until you pointed it out. To my old brain, if I don't actually *see* an external power supply, I figured it's just a pass through box. Will check these out.

Edit: on the Winegard, I think that's a splitter (distribution) booster for two outputs, not a signal booster.
