No, unfortunately it doesn't work that way.....If the signal is so weak that one amp can't amplify it enough, adding another amp won't increase the signal from the first amp.





The signal gets buried in the noise floor, and you can't pickup the signal without amplifying the noise.....





Best thing to do....get your ariel up up UP!!


Get it as high as you can get it,


Get an antenna that can capture signals 120 miles away (deep fringe antenna)


THEN add one amplifier to that antenna...


If you don't get signal with that...you don't live on earth...





Personally, I'd opt MORE for a Satellite...





BUT i would suggest a good 8-bay bowtie outdoor antenna like this.....

Reply:No........ If you do not have a strong signal received by your aerial, a booster will have no effect. A signal booster only compensates for loss of signal due to using a long, or poor quality cable, or having a faulty connection.

Reply:No it would knock the otherone off automaticaly or probably blow it.
Reply:I played around with an unamplified indoor antenna and a powered cable amplifier, and it absolutely worked: I got clear pictures on the channels that were previously unwatchable, but one channel that was already coming in clearly became "overamped" and was starting to become distorted because the signal was being overdriven. I never tried my setup with two boosters because once I bought a powered antenna, I no longer needed the second amplifier.
Reply:No, it will boost the noise of the first booster. You must get a decent outdoors aerial.
