There is one that plugs into the wall, screws into the bottom of your coax, and sends power up it to a thingie up next to your antenna. Got mine from Radio Shak.

It really helps clean up weak or scrambled looking signals. I recommend.

There is a different type, it plugs into the bottom of your coax, and then boosts the signal from there to your tv(s). This is needed more so if you are splitting a weak signal to several sets. Get one with as many powered splits as you have TVs. 2, 4, etc.

One keeps the signal you get and brings it down to the house safely.

The other sends the signals to different sets, boosting the strength so there is enough for each.

All of this takes a bit of trial and error, possible you could overpower a very strong signal and mess it up by over amplifying, etc so - well trial and error....

Dennys TV on the net sells this stuff, he has good web site explaining it in small bits.....

+1, get the "at the antenna" amplifier, it will give you twice the performance of an "at the tv" antenna amplifier. You add XX feet of antenna down lead signal loss on top of an already very weak signal and an "at the TV amplifier" has nothing to amplify. The "at the antenna" amplifier will give much better performance.
