Winegard AP-8275 Antenna Preamp - Great performer August 9, 2010
Larry K. Reddig (Newark, Ohio United States)
I needed a hi-gain (30dB) VHF/UHF antenna preamp to cancel out the 30 dB RF line loss from 1000' of RG11 coax. This Winegard AP-8275 delivered. I'm in a finge situation and when analog TV disappeared my HDTV reception was spotty, but found with experimentation that 1000' away, on top of my hill, I can get good signals.
Winegard doesn't recommend running RG11 coax nearly that far, because of DC supply power loss. I took a chance and the preamp delivers the signals (10 out of 10 bars on the HDTV meter), even though my RG11 has the lossier copper plated over steel center conductor. The supply is 14 volts and I am still getting about 12 volts at the preamp.
In operation - 2 weeks
Antenna - DB8
Preamp- Winegard AP-8275
Coax - 1000 feet CommScope RG11 direct burial to house, plus 15 ft RG6 to pwr sup unit inside house, then another 40 feet of RG59 to the HDTV.
Results - Outstanding from stations 40 to 60 miles away.
 Poor August 9, 2010
K. Batchelor (Milwaukee, WI)
I had purchased this High Gain amplifier to replace a much less expensive pre-amplifier ($4.95). The cheap model went anywhere in the antenna cable. This model needed power in the attic plus the amplifier mounted to the antenna mast. A lot of work and the exact same reception at the cheap mode. Don't waste your money.
Did the job July 5, 2010

Nice unit, changed my life. I'm in a fringe area (30-40 miles outside of Albany, NY, in the mountains), so all I wanted was a way to bring in signals that aren't quite strong enough to register on the new HD receivers. I'm off-grid, with limited electricity, so I just plug it in whenever I'm watching TV and unplug it the rest of the time. Ha! Good price at Amazon. My only complaint is that I have no idea how to get the rain boots onto the cable. There were no instructions on how to do so, and an hour spent with various tools ended in failure, so I'm not using them, which is not ideal.
Excellent amplifier for digital signal April 5, 2010
Stacey L. Dougherty
I bought a brand new antenna from Radio Shack during the Christmas Season in hopes that I could receive the new digital television signal as my old roof antenna was over 25 years old and wouldn't pickup any digital channels (I got five analog channels before the digital switchover). Installed the new antenna and no luck. I could only pickup one channel, and only during midnight hours. I was ready to give up on free television when I decided to give the Winegard AP-8275 Antenna Pre-amplifier a try; and I am glad I did. I went from only one channel during night hours to over 15 channels. I get all the channels I'm suppose to be getting from the Washington DC area (I live 70 miles south of the Washington DC/Baltimore broadcasting stations) with the exception of NBC channel 4 and the CW on channel 50. This amplifier is a great bang for your buck!
