Do amplified tv antennas for UHF/VHF work better than the non-amplified?

[edprush]

I thought I had tried them once in the past and I can't recall if the signal was any better with the amplified rabbit-ears antenna.

 

[ToeStub]

I never had any luck with them.

If the signal is marginal it might make a difference. They're certainly cheap enough to try, and if not, return to walmart/target.

 

[white]

they have for me.

I had a cheaper style from wally world, and it worked better than a $120 Terk that I got from the local home theater place

 

[kyparrish]

yes, they do

The answer, unfortunately is: it depends.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say yes.

But it probably really depends on the quality of the unit.
