- CATV channels and off-air channels operate on different carrier
- frequencies above channel 13. So you need to buy an amp made
- specifically for cable TV.
-
- Typically, a CATV amp functions continuously from 50 -550 mHz. while the
- off-air unit you apparently bought works over discontinuous bands: 50 -
- 108, 170 - 213, and 470 - 800 mHz. If your cable company provides lots
- of channels, you'll find that your off-air amp stops working at channel
- 13 and then starts up again around cable channel 60.
