    Hi!

    I have a DVB-T antenna, the distance to the receiver is long and I can see that when I step on the antenna, the signal is better, so I wanted to strengthen it. I bought the Opticum W-20 HD amplifier, but I don't know how to power it. The receiver is a USB TV card, I do not have the option to turn on the power ("in the tuner" as some sellers advise).

    How to power it?

    Best regards,
    Marcin

    Via the antenna cable, with a voltage of 5 to 20V.

    Remember that the amplifier is installed close to the antenna.

    And nowadays, in many locations, an LTE trap is recommended in front of the amplifier.
