Product Description |
|
THE EDA-FT08300 8-PORT AMPLIFIER REPLACES THE EDA-FT08100, WHICH HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED BY THE MANUFACTURER. The FT08100 has been long known as the work horse of the Electroline product line for over three years, providing full compatibility with all cable TV services - bar NONE. Now Electroline has raised the bar by creating the EDA-FT08300, which provides updated functionality and full compatibility with all cable services including cable modems and the new DOCSIS 3.0 standard. If you have been looking for the perfect product to work with your home theater system, HDTV, and cable modem - then look no further. Electroline is an industry leader with innovative product designs that provide the maximum functionality and WORRY FREE operation. The EDA-FT08300 provides 8 ports for connecting up to 8 devices (including a cable modem) directly to the amplifier. This eliminates splitter loss and boosts your signal to provide the clearest, crispest picture possible. At the same time it provides full support for your cable modem (both UP and DOWN) allowing you to get the fastest downloads and uploads possible. The amplifier is surge protected (when properly grounded), has a WATERPROOF design, and is powered by the included power supply. The FT08300 can be powered from any location in the house with the use of an Electroline Power Inserter (optional - not included with the amplifier). |

Digital Cable singal improvment. |

Just what I needed to get digital signals to my HDTVs in my house. I like that the power can be inserted in the coax at a remote location from the box so I can have the amplifier close to where the cable enters my house (insuring a cleaner amplified signal). Now if we can only get my cable company to go back to QAM for Basic Cable so that I don't need the cable box, I'd be a lot happier. They took out their QAM broadcast for basic cable stations pretty much invalidating the tuners on my new TVs. Totally unnecessary and forces me to use the cable box/remote now for basic cable where there was an unstated implication that this would not be the case. I prefer using my TV remote to change my channels rather than a separate cable box. (Sorry for the mini rant, but this is why I'm moving towards internet TV and VOD....separate box is my choice, not theirs.) |

Great product to boost CATV signal |
Bottom line: it works.
Comcast recently made changes which forced us to put digital boxes at every TV. This is not the FCC switch from analog to digital (which was over 2 years ago ??) although that's what Comcast tried to convince me. Until recently we've had one TV with a digital box (including DVR) from Comcast, one TV with a built-in cable tuner which only received the basic channels, and a new TV which had a built-in digital tuner. Suddenly, our 1-year-old TV with the digital tuner was worthless, without an external box. What Comcast actually did was to encrypt all signals, which forces law-abiding bill-paying cable customers such as us to have a tacked-on box. Now we have one remote for changing channels, volume or power on/off but we still have to use the TV's original remote for all other features. But many features of the TV are defeated, such as 'deleting' the channels that we'd prefer our kids not to see while channel surfing. Thanks a lot, Comcast. We were ready for "full digital" with our new TV, but not fully-encrypted "Comcast" digital.
Worse, many channels clipped in and out. Sometimes the video would pause and restart. Sometimes we just got a message that the signal was interrupted. This occured on all 3 TV's - even the one with the Comcast HD/DVR box. I tried various cables and checked connections multiple times, because Comcast kept blaming the problems on wiring. No explanation, of course, on why the TV with the DVR box (no wiring changes at all) suddenly experienced problems also.
Among the other issues (some mentioned briefly above) it appears that the hardware Comcast forces us to use is garbage. We had not problems with the TV's built-in tuner, until Comcast disabled that method. Yet the boxes they provide apparently demand a much stronger signal AND created probelems with the box that had been working before.
Along comes the Electroline signal booster. We have home runds from each outlet to a central distribution box for our CATV signal. We've had 2 splitters: one provides a dedicated run to our broadband modem and the other side for TV's. That second side is split for each TV location. These were high-end splitters, and we never had a problem with digital services. But apparently, not good enough anymore since we need to insert the Comcast converters (junk).
Inserting the Electroline drop amp cleared up everything. No change in broadband speed; it was already blazing fast and I don't think there's anything further I can do on my end to boost speed. And the digital services at our main TV works just as it used to, before the converters were added to the other two. Now all 3 TV's have a clear signal. And if there are any future problems, I can be 100% confident that if Comcast ever has to send a truck that they will find the problem on their end.
If it wasn't for the great internet speed, I'd dump Comcast. No way I'd pay for TV from them, with their pitiful service and unfair practices. But at least the Electroline did like it was intended, and compensated for Comcast's garbage. |

Works great |
This signal booster works great, provides a strong signal throughout house. Even improved Internet speed and response.
Con - only issue is that the coax connections are pretty tight on the box and a little difficult to tighten the back row. |

Very well made and great signal quality |

This cable amplifier delivers. Beefy, metal housing with stoutly mounted, high quality RF jacks. Amplification is very clean and the return path works as advertised. |

Very Pleased |

After several visits from the cable company with no success, i purchased one of these. I run 2 cable modems (with phone lines) and 6 tvs off this box and it works like a charm. No dropped signals and all tvs have a clear picture. its a little pricey but i consider it well worth the money. The box does get a little warm, but it is not an issue. |
