You do not need a booster. You have a problem elsewhere unless you have resolved it via PM and we are out of the loop. The Sensar Pro is as good an amp as is currently available. Be sure to start with the Gain set to 10. That's zero boost. Going below 10 reduces the signal and 11-20 gives 1-10 db of boost.
If you have not done so, you need to go up on the roof, remove the coax from the roof top antenna and use a multi-meter to verify that you have 12 VDC available in the coax cable itself (touch center connector and outside collar).
Since it appears to be a newer digital TV, be sure that you take any converter out and that the wiring to the Sensar Pro goes directly to the OTA antenna and the output is directly to your TV.
Bill, I agree with you completely, he needs to go back to basics. He should make sure he has the interior end of the antenna run hooked to the Sensar Pro(SP) and the antenna end disconnected so he can test for voltage. Then he should connect the antenna and Run a separate coax directly from the SP to the set. Turn the gain as you said, then turn on the TV set and run a scan.
If the set works properly he can hook up the BOMB and other peripherals, test each for operations. Just seeing what is hooked to what up in the entertainment cabinet is a real pain. I had to tear mine apart to verify and replace connectors so I do know the problems.
The batwing antenna is amazing, I live in the TV capital of the country and I can pick up a couple stations with the power supply off and the antenna flat on the roof. If I turn the power supply on without raising the antenna, I get maybe 40 stations. With the antenna on and raised, I get over 60 including Santa Barbara over 100 miles away. With the SP and Wingman, he has to see some difference.
