Linear 2512 ChannelPlus DC & IR Passing 2-Way Splitter/Combiner, SILVER

Received very fast, ordered Thur and it was on doorstep Sat AM. It does exactly what it says, ignore negative reviews. Man, I am so happy, I wasn't getting any local channels; now I get 4, this thing works great. I live between Cincy and Dayton in the bottom of a crater-like area. On top of that, I'm in the back of apt building on 2nd floor with multiple walls between me and signal. I used my RCA OTA Indoor/Outdoor. It wouldn't pick up much here, but worked great before on flat land. So I shelled out for a Mohu Leaf OTA 50 mile-with amp and still could barely just pick up 1 Cincinnati channel. I searched around on the web and after several articles stumbled upon this combiner. I hooked it up immediately and without adjusting the antennas or anything I automatically got 33 channels. I hooked up a 4' coaxial extension to the RCA antenna so I could move it around a bit and I noticed the signal got stronger all of a sudden without moving anything, so go figure. I don't even need to move it around, I'm happy with what it picked up on 1st scan. I am so happy and recommend this device to anyone who lives in an awkward spot for TV reception. 2 antennas into this bad boy picked up all kinds of channels from both cities. Plus, I'm sure the built-in amp on Leaf helps too. I took it off. Then I ran amp off the back of the combiner, then into TV, to boost both signals and seems to help. These Leaf antennas are sensitive, just barely moving the cord could make the channels come in or go out before. Now with this combiner it should always come in clear, just in time for NFL. Too bad they don't sell these in stores. Went to Best Buy, Menards, Radio Shack, no one carries them. Plus it also runs in reverse, in case you wanted to send 1 antenna to 2 TV's, so cool device. Not the same as a Coaxial Splitter, a splitter will not work to combine antennas. I have just as many channels as basic cable now for about $15 with shipping. With the combiner I picked up channels that the antennas wouldn't pick up on their own, like it made them stronger. Because what I read about them said it will only pick up what each antenna gets and then you 'combine' those 2 lineups. But, today I picked up several channels I wanted that neither would pick up before regardless of where I put them. So this device is excellent!!!

Review for Linear 2512 ChannelPlus DC & IR Passing 2-Way Splitter/Combiner,; asin: B00006JPEAI reversed it, connected 2 same maker, length coax cables to 2 of same maker, model of antennas.Coaxial cables I used from Amazon: Cable Matters 3-Pack CL2 in-Wall Rated (cm) Quad Shielded Coaxial Cable 10 ft (RG6 Cable, asin: B00LETALT6).2 Antennas I got from Amazon: CeKay Outdoor Antenna Yagi Satellite HD Antenna (asin: B089G4WRC4).They work great together or as single antennas for the price. Mine are INSIDE the home, work great but I'm 38 miles ish from some stations I couldn't pull in with just a single antenna.The splitter I used prior to using this "combiner" : GE Digital 2-Way Coaxial Cable Splitter, 2.5 GHz 5-2500 MHz,33526 (asin: B0054EILOE).I received same (at least i think) channels with this combiner vs just using the GE splitter, but for sure, when I did change the GE splitter out for the combiner, I didn't lose any channels, reception was still good.

It works better than most. The connections seem tight

I consider this a very under rated product. For the price it does a very good job. I am employing mine to cover the combination of two house antenna for digital TV signals over the older RF frequencies. In addition the two antennas are completely different designs as well. One is a Yagi high gain UHF sectional element for deep fringe reception with a specific gain load out. The other is a wide band lower VHF and UHF antenna for towers closer up and for wider degree of channels.So it combines these two antennas. Basically puts two stupid funny and very different antennas together.I am running this prior to hitting a RF signal amplifier, then it branches out to the other locations in the house. Definitely is a transparent add to the setup I have and works great. It should have the pass through for higher Sat Dish as well, but I would be careful and use an auto-switch for blending sat dish and a regular digital TV antenna.Do not use this for blending different antenna for Cell Phone Signal transceivers or boosters. Those kinds of systems need to have antennas of similar nature spread far apart, blending them will negate what you would attempt.

I have a 30 year old radio shack 10' antenna in my garage attic. It has worked well during the transition from analog to digital TV. It's performance was diminished with the addition of aluminum backed reflectix radiation barrier insulation on the interior house walls common in the attic (knew it would, but figured I could work around it) The signals weren't bad because of orientation but I knew they could be better. I bought an omni directional 70mi HDTV antenna and mounted in the highest point interior to the house attic well above the radio shack antenna and reflectix insulation. I slightly rotated the radio shack antenna to another aiming angle for reception in my area. Then I used the combiner to join the two antennas. Results were fantastic. Re scanned all air/antenna TVs and added quite a few channels to each with perfect picture quality. So no degradation with the combiner. Thrilled for the price.

I ordered one of these 2 months ago and it worked great. I was able to pull in a few more channels after combining 2 antennas. My in-laws wanted duplicate my setup for their house. I ordered 2 more and after 2 weeks of waiting for my order to ship, the vendor cancelled my order stating, "item our of stock". One week later, the items were back in stock, with an advertised delivery date of 2 days later. After placing my order AGAIN, I am waiting to see my item shipped. Great device, it works but the vendor needs to work on their delivery.

This item may cost a little more than your average splitters, but others do not compete with this Splitter/Combiner. Works great as a combiner, or providing balanced distribution with low signal loss as a splitter.

Producto en excelente estado.

Buen producto pero en mi caso, no mezcla bien las señales, y pixelea un poco la imagen.

Very good quality splitter and I'm very impressed what signal quality on my antenna now compared before by replacing it with this product

L’ajout d’une deuxième antennes avec cet article a permis d’avoir une meilleure réception sur Île de Montréal. Ne pas utiliser de booster en ville cela amplifie les interférences. Souvent les câbles coaxiaux avec antenne vendu en kit sont de bas de gammes. Si possible les remplacer pour une meilleure réception
