STEREN Network Switch - Coax Splitter 2 Way - Antenna Splitter - Manual Transfer Switch - Coax Cable Splitter 2 Way - Coaxial Cable Adapter for TV - 2 Way Coax AB Switch for TV - 1 Pack 200-315

Bought this to replace an old slider-type switch. The old switch had the two inputs on one side and the output for the TV on the other side. This switch has the inputs and output on the same side: nicer for my application. It is a much heavier switch, and the pushbuttons are solid.I disconnected the cable & antenna coax cables and attached them to the new C2G AB Switch, powered up the TV and all of the cable stations came in perfectly. I then selected the anntena input on the TV, pressed the B button on the C2G Switch and to my surprise all of the local stations came in crystal clear. In fact, two of the local channels that were previously pixelating and unstable with the OTA antenna signal were now solid and sharp. Not sure if the old switch was attenuating the signal or just didn't have the bandwidth for the all-digital signals. The new switch didn't show any of the old problems; and we're on the signal fringe for using an indoor antenna.The indoor antenna I'm using is a small Phillips HDTV Passive Antenna. I use it only when the cable is out or have a power loss during hurricane season (have a portable gasoline generator to handle the refrigerator, TV, and fans). Hopefully now I'll be able to check more than one source of weather info during storm season.

There are not many A/B switches advertised to work with Satellite coax antenna feeds. The description on this switch does indicate that it can work with satellites. I'm using it to easily switch between my motorhome roof mounted Dish Tailgater antenna, to another Tailgater antenna on the ground in cases where tree cover prevents a signal from reaching the roof mounted antenna at the campsite. The satellite receiver sends power to the antennae, so I'm always careful to unplug the receiver from the A/C plug first before I press the switch button, as I'm concerned with potential sparks damaging the antennae or the receiver itself. As far as the bandwidth, I have not not noticed any degradation in picture quality, even though the satellite signal operates at a higher frequency (higher than 1GHz) than the switch is rated. It works well for my application so far.

I have an over the air antenna in a window I can't get channel 2 on and one on the wall I can't get channel5 on, go figure. So I ordered this splitter because I was tired of unscrewing and screwing in cables all the time. Long story short the splitter works like a charm. I've only had it a few days but in that short time I can tell my reception has improved by at least 25%.

This item comes with no instructions. Normally you wouldn't need them, but it would have been nice to have a little more information before just connecting things, as our application was a little different. So connecting it according to the indicators on the switch, would not have worked. I wanted an easier way to switch from my Fire TV streaming platform to our Channel Master Stream+ DVR, without having to move the antenna cable from one to the other. The Channel Master DVR allows us to record our favorite OTA shows which are not available for free on our Fire TV, even with our prime membership. It took a little trial and error, and fussing with it, but eventually I figured it out. First connection I had a great picture but no sound. Second time I got a weak signal. But the third time was the charm...after double checking all the connections to make sure everything including the HDMI cables were in tight. (Yes, a Duh moment.) Works just like I was hoping It would. This is how I got the job done: I had to connect the cable from my antenna to the TV port. Then I connected the TV to A and the Channel Master DVR to B. This is the opposite of what I tried the first time, so it's possible it's fussy as to whether I used A or B for the TV. Again without the instructions, I don't know. What I do know, is now I just have to press A or B and switch to the right input to the correct HDMI. I still have to walk over to the TV and press a button, but at least I'm not moving cables anymore!

My modem to Comcast Xfinity Internet stops working every now and then and the only way to establish connection is to turn off the power to the modem, unscrew the coax cable, then turn power back on, then after it boots up, screw the coax cable back in and we have internet again!Lately I have to do this 3-4 times per week... this is why this device is so awesome, with a push of a button I can "disconnect" the coax service to the modem without having to fiddle with the coax cable all the time, but most importantly there is no noticeable degradation in internet speed when using this device!I highly recommend this device, excellent quality, heavy! Buy quality.. it pays off :)

FUZZY RECEPTION & SIGNAL LOSS. Not suitable for HD TV.The A side of the A/B Switch for the TV Antenna to TV worked clearly. Although it may have caused a reduction in signal strength because connecting to NBC was erratic (the TV would go blank with a "weak signal" message). But what sent this switch to the trash bin was that the B side of the A/B switch for the VCR to TV was Fuzzy. We tried a couple of VCR tapes, including a Disney tape to confirm there was a problem with the B-switch.A BETTER CHOICE: DIAMOND ANTENNA MODEL CX210AWe decided to replace TVC's A/B Switch with a heavy duty wideband Diamond Antenna Switch CX210A (www.diamondantenna.net, available by special order from www.lentinicomm.com). The specs include dB signal loss and isolation, so they appear to mean business. The cost was 4 times as much ($57 including expedited shipping). But we paid too much for our home entertainment center to settle for a fuzzy picture.

Worked for what I needed. Quick shipping!
