Manufacturer's Description
Philex' SLx brand has been at the forefront of aerial and signal distribution technology for over 10 years. We are proud to present our range of SLx Gold Aerial Amplifiers which possess additional features normally only found on professional systems.

The SLx Gold range of aerial amplifiers are designed specifically with digital TV in mind. The gain circuit is totally flat, amplifying the full UHF spectrum equally. This ensures that no digital TV channels are sacrificed during the amplification and distribution process. Features such as tetra filter and gold connectors ensure that the signal received at each TV point is as clean and as strong as possible. The digital bypass enables any of the amplifiers in the range to be used with Sky compatible infra-red eyes for viewing and controlling Sky in another room. The surge protection facility protects connected equipment from hazardous electrical surge and spikes. The range of amplifiers include plug thru models which plug directly into mains power sockets whilst maintaining the power point, and traditional design amplifiers available with either IEC or F-type connections for a more professional, secure fit.

Customer Reviews

Good as a night light, marginal as a signal booster.
It does change the outgoing signal, although not as much as re-connecting the coax cable in the loft (doh!!). One thing I was trying to achieve was an improved FM radio signal. I can now get XFM by turning up the gain control, but the resulting sound quality is variable. The background noise varies, depending on the weather. The freeview signal was alright anyway (with the antenna connected) so I receive no benefit there.

I think the success of this kind of product depends entirely on your location - some people will find benefit, others won't. If you live in a valley then you can't beat the laws of physics.

Mind you, if you were thinking about getting a night light then the orange logo at the top serves this purpose as well!

I'm sure it works but...
I live in a marginal digital area. I had great hopes for this gadget. Unfortunately it made no difference to my signal strength. A new ariel was more effective!
