Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

That is to say, most existing TV antennas and amplifiers are designed to receive and pass frequencies that are now used for cell phones. In close proximity to a cell tower, your preamplifier, distribution amp or even the TV tuner itself can overload causing picture dropouts and erratic signal strength readings.
An LTE filter such as this one will significantly reduce the strength those out-of-band cell signals, which should knock the signal down enough as to not drive your amplifier(s) or TV into overload.This goes without saying, but you absolutely MUST put the filter between the antenna and the preamplifier in order to prevent it from overloading (not after the amplifier).
I've tested these filters with my spectrum analyzer - I don't have exact attenuation measurements, but I can tell you they really cut cell signal levels down. Another user review here claimed about -20dB. They're well-built and are a pretty decent value for the money (especially considering the price of competing models). I have a side business installing antennas and I've started using these on every job, even if there aren't signs of LTE overload (not something I want to get service calls about in the future).
Speaking of interference - LTE is not the only thing that commonly interferes with television. Overload from local FM radio is arguably an even bigger problem! The FM band (88-108MHz) is right above VHF-Lo Ch. 2-6 (54-88MHz) and exactly 1/2 the frequency of VHF-Hi Ch. 7-13 (174-216MHz). Strong FMs can overload amplifiers causing 2nd harmonics which can cause breakups and such on Ch. 7-13. Good preamplifiers have a switchable FM trap (notch filter) to reduce FM levels. You can also use a standalone FM trap or plug the antenna into the Hi side of an HLSJ VHF-Lo/VHF-Hi & UHF signal joiner.
