THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MASTHEAD AMPLIFIER AKA BOOSTER.

So, you aren’t getting any picture on your TV? Or is it that your TV reception is pixelating? Either way they are both frustratingly annoying but thankfully they can be fixed! However, before calling your Jim’s Antennas expert we ask that you evaluate the following:

  • Ensure your TV and power cables are connected to the wall sockets as well as the TV
  • Try and perform an auto or manual scan for TV Channels (refer back to your TV’s owner manual)
  • If you do have an amplifier in your system ensure the power supply is plugged in and turned on

If you are still unable to resolve your TV reception issues, don’t worry, because at Jim’s Antennas we will do a full assessment, as there could be many causes.

One in particular could be an issue with the booster. But what is a booster?

Masthead Amplifier is more commonly known as a Booster.

One of the important components in your TV Antenna System is the masthead amplifier, or more commonly known as the BOOSTER. It is the electronics part of an Antenna system and is powered by a low voltage power supply. Being a powered component, it’s important to keep it dry and clean.


After heavy storm activity, Rodney and his team from Jim’s Antennas Wyong & Bateau Bay got a call where the customer had ‘lost all signal’ and it’s often due to the booster getting inundated with water.

Masthead amplifiers are an important component in your TV Antenna System.


Whether there has been a storm or not your booster may be old and rusty and need to be replaced. To arrange your your free onsite quote book here or call 131 546.

Old, rusty boosters can cause no signal.
