Well, a short introduction is in order. I used to faithfully review every purchase I made with Amazon, and that number is ample, but after I gave one unnamed product a negative review because it was a total piece of junk, that review was removed by Amazon. There was no swearing or bad language in my review and I did not violate any of Amazon's rules with that review, but it was still removed, which, in my mind, it was removed because it was a negative review of a product sold by Amazon. Thus, no more reviews on any products were written by me. Why should I waste my time giving any reviews if the negative ones would be potentially deleted.
I purchased this Channel Master LTE Filter and it's operation was so successful, my wife talked me into giving it a review.
I have an old outside antenna on my roof that worked to receive all my local channels until a heavy wet snow storm damaged some of the wings on that antenna. A repair was made and reception was restored. I might add, getting to this roof antenna was a really big pain and very dangerous because it is mounted 32' above the ground and hanging out over the edge of the roof line. Any fall from this height would be life changing if not result in death. I do not wish to ever get back up on the roof to work on this antenna again.
One local channel stated to be troublesome and eventually was impossible to view because of interruption of the 'over the air' signal. All other local channels were not interrupted. After trying an inline signal booster with no improvement, I reluctantly decided to buy a very expensive CM roof antenna. During my search for a replacement antenna, I came across this Channel Master (CM) LTE Filter and decided to give it a try before purchasing a new antenna and having to go through the major trouble of installing it onto my very high and dangerous roof.
Amazon shipped my order which I received in a few days. The install took less than three minutes and that included reading the directions. To my surprise, all my local channels were perfectly clear, including the favorite channel that previous to the install of this device, I could no longer view.
This filter is a 'magic' little device which solved my reception problems. I recommend the purchase of this filter if you are receiving intermittent signal over your roof antenna. Great product from a good company.
Hopefully this review, in its entirety, will be posted.
Sincerely, a happy customer.

Channel Master Works in Reverse
The Channel Master LTE 5G feels solidly built and works in the reverse direction (according to Channel Master, see answers to questions). My TV is tight on spacing between the back and the input, so the piece does not fit in the usual place (see photo). That is not really the fault of Channel Master. Channel Master goes back a long way to the analog days, and their products have had a good reputation as far as I can recall. The filter can be screwed into my wall outlet in the reverse direction or at the antenna in the attic in the reverse direction. Inserting it into the line in the forward direction would require another piece of cable and a male-male connector, which would further attenuate the unamplified signal. I could insert it in the forward direction inside the wall box, where the screw post points toward the antenna like the post on back of the TV, but the space is not deep enough. However, these are moot points since CM stated reversing the direction works.I have about 50 ft of good quality RG6 coaxial cable with only 1 break (male-male connector integrated in the plastic cover in the usual way) at the wall box near the TV. Reception in Harford County is good for Baltimore stations 11-x, 13-x, 45-x, 67-x, and a little less stable for 2-x, moderately stable for Lancaster PA 8-x and Daystar Baltimore 24-x, and later at night WJLA Washington D.C. (7-x). A cloud deck or very late night times will help pull in D.C. channels 5-x, 9-x, 20-x, and a few others.I have not noticed any real differences yet inserting the LTE filter, so my pixelation may be signal strength and multi-path related. Further testing is needed. It will be interesting when we are able to buy new ATSC 3.0 Next Gen TV tuners at a reasonable price and approved by ATSC, there has been recent news on the standardization so we should be able to see tuners appear soon.

Well I gave this a shot to see if it would fix some of the pixelation. I installed and didn't find it fixed any of it. But the picture seemed a bit better. I do have to mention that the model I got was not the 5g but the LTE must have been sort of mixed up. But I will hopefully try that next. But everyone's set up is different and experience with OTA and their area so. Give this a shot.

n'apporte rien bien au contraire le filtre diminue la reception du signal
