Labgear 4 Way TV Signal Booster (Indoor Aerial Amplifier) with F-Type Connections and 4G/5G Filtering
Product description
The essentials
If your indoor TV reception is patchy, a signal booster can be one of those “simple on paper, life-changing on the right set-up” fixes. The Labgear 4 Way TV Signal Booster is designed to strengthen TV aerial signals and support FM/DAB radio as well, with added 4G & 5G filtering aimed at reducing interference. It’s an indoor aerial amplifier approach, so it’s best considered when you’re trying to make the most of a cable run and aerial arrangement you already have, rather than starting from scratch.
The headline features here are the 4G/5G filter (Class 1 filter) and the use of F-Type coaxial connections on both input and output sockets. On the day-to-day level, that combination usually matters if you’ve noticed the kind of picture or sound problems that can come and go with network traffic, or if you’re splitting to multiple outputs and want steadier results.
One limitation to keep in mind: a booster won’t fix a weak aerial location on its own. If the incoming signal is poor because of where the aerial is, the boost may not bring you up to a reliable viewing standard.
Key points
This Labgear booster is built around the idea of improving reception while keeping modern mobile interference in check. It targets digital TV and radio reception in the VHF and UHF frequency bands, and it’s positioned as a “new and improved” range with better power efficiency and improved gain flatness for long-term continuous use.
You also get practical benefits for installers and DIYers who prefer solid, secure coax connections: the F-Type connections are intended to help with matching and physical security at the socket.
And because it’s a 4-way booster, it’s more “household split” friendly than single-output boosters if you’re feeding several TV or radio points. If you only need one output, you may find this is more capability than you actually need.
Where it shines
This is the kind of booster that makes sense when your aerial setup needs a bit of help across multiple outputs, particularly for Freeview and related digital TV formats, plus DAB/FM radio. The product description specifically calls out compatibility with Freeview, DVB-T and DVB-T2 HD TV signals, and DAB.
In real-world terms, imagine you’ve got an indoor aerial in a room where reception is just about watchable, but another TV in the house struggles or the radio signal drops out. A 4-output amplifier like this can be used to strengthen both TV and radio signals, and the inclusion of the option to use a diplexer is useful if you want to carry mixed signal types.
It’s not the only way to tackle reception issues—sometimes moving the aerial, checking cable condition, or adjusting the split can matter more than adding gain. But if your setup already points in the right direction, this is one of the more “reception-first” add-ons.

What to know before you buy
Start with the basics: boosters amplify what they receive. If your aerial positioning is poor (or the cabling is damaged or mismatched), you may still end up frustrated—often the booster only makes an already-limited situation “louder”, not better quality.
It also helps to be clear about your distribution plan. A 4-way amplifier is designed for multiple outputs, so if you’re feeding fewer points, you might want to weigh whether the extra outputs and gain handling capacity are actually beneficial for your exact layout.
Finally, while this model includes 4G/5G filtering, interference environments vary. If you live in an area with very unusual reception challenges, it’s worth reading the stated compatibility carefully (digital TV and radio formats are listed, but not every edge case is guaranteed).
Is it worth it?
Worth buying if you want an indoor, 4-way aerial amplifier that’s aimed at improving digital TV reception (including Freeview and DVB-T/DVB-T2 HD as stated) while also supporting radio (FM/DAB) and reducing 4G/5G interference with a Class 1 filter. It’s a sensible choice if you’re running a small distribution setup and you value secure, F-Type coax connections.
You may want to skip it if your main problem is fundamentally an aerial location issue or severely degraded cabling—boosters can’t replace a good aerial position. Also, if you only need a single output, this 4-way design might be more complexity than you need.
If you prioritise long-term, continuous use and cleaner signal handling “over time” (the description mentions better power efficiency and improved gain flatness), then this one sits more comfortably in the practical middle ground than a basic add-on.
Mini FAQ
Will it boost both TV and DAB/FM radio?
Yes, the booster is described as suitable for digital TV and radio, including DAB, and it can amplify both TV and radios signals. The description also notes that you can use a diplexer if you wish to carry both TV and radio signals.
Does it include 4G and 5G filtering?
It does. The product description states it incorporates a Class 1 filter to reduce 4G and 5G interference.
Is it only for Freeview?
No. Freeview is specifically mentioned, but it’s also described as suitable for digital TV signals such as DVB-T and DVB-T2 HD, plus radio including DAB.
Is it suitable for indoor use?
Yes—this is described as an indoor TV aerial booster.
Does the number of outputs matter?
Given it’s a 4-way booster, it’s designed for splitting to multiple outputs. If your setup doesn’t need four outputs, it might be more than necessary.
