Unforturnately, like others before me have noted, there is not much on the market to do bi-directional signals with this many outputs. So far 3 out of the 4 I have tried do not send a signal from the target thru the amplifier/splitter to the device. I’ll keep sending one back until I get a second one working as I have 16 TV’s and need many outputs.

The splitter worked for 2 weeks. Then completely went out, i returned it. It is a waste of time and money

I did quite a bit of research before purchasing this amp, but unfortunately there is not a lot of competition for this piece (that I could find) on the market. Mine worked as advertised for 13 months and then it died. I guess I will try a passive splitter for now w/out the mod inputs. The bottom line is I am very disappointed.

Although a little pricey, this was one of the few cable distribution amplifiers I was able to find that had a sufficient number of outputs for our home. The unit is simple to install and the reverse path worked flawlessly for our cable modem service.
