TV Booster Aerial Amplifier 1m USB Cable
Product description
This indoor TV aerial booster improves weak or unstable reception by amplifying signals to reduce pixelation and frozen images, making everyday TV viewing more reliable in rooms, caravans or temporary setups. If you get intermittent drops, using the short and long distance switch helps adapt amplification according to how far you are from the broadcast tower, and the USB power option keeps installation simple.
Key Points
The amplifier is USB powered, so you can plug it into a TV USB port, a mains USB adapter or a portable power bank for continuous operation. It has a built-in distance control switch with short and long distance positions to adjust gain for nearby transmitters or distant towers. The package includes a 1 m USB power cable and a 0.3 m coaxial lead, supplied to minimise signal loss between the aerial and the booster. Consider that effectiveness depends on local signal strength and aerial placement, according to the manufacturer.
Technical Specifications

- Coaxial lead: 0.3 m included
- Distance control: short and long distance switch for gain adjustment

Usage Recommendations
Place the indoor aerial in a high, unobstructed position where it receives the clearest signal, for example near a window facing the transmitter. Start with the short distance setting if you are in an urban area with generally strong reception, then switch to long distance if channels remain weak or intermittent. Use the supplied short coaxial lead to reduce signal loss between the aerial and the amplifier; a longer coaxial lead may decrease performance.
Positive Aspects
The USB power option makes the device simple to set up without additional adapters, which is handy for temporary installations or on-the-move use in caravans. The two-position distance switch adds flexibility so the same unit can be used both close to and far from transmitters, reducing the need to buy different amplifiers for varied locations. A compact design and short cables help keep connections tidy and reduce unnecessary signal attenuation.
