I >checked the amp and it is supposed to amplify VHF, UHF, and FM. CATV channels and off-air channels operate on different carrier frequencies above channel 13. So you need to buy an amp made specifically for cable TV. Typically, a CATV amp functions continuously from 50 -550 mHz. while the off-air unit you apparently bought works over discontinuous bands: 50 - 108, 170 - 213, and 470 - 800 mHz. If your cable company provides lots of channels, you'll find that your off-air amp stops working at channel 13 and then starts up again around cable channel 60. -- KUFX | w ["] | WA6MBV 94.5 |... |___|_____..duncan@ravel.ati.com | Jim Duncan FM | H | ---------- ******** \_____I_____/ 37 3 10N/121 59 10W **************
