Connect up to 4 devices to the coaxial connection from your cable or indoor/outdoor VHF/UHF/FM antenna with this mini drop amplifier. It works with the DC power provided by components, or with the AC power provided by the included adapter.

My parents recently added a cable box so they could receive additional HD channels. Unfortunately, many of the channels were not coming in and others were pixelated. I figured this was because the multiple splits in their cable had reduced the signal strength. I replaced a four way splitter they had previously installed with this booster. The location of the booster is near where the cable enters the home, which is recommended. The booster then sends the signal to a four way splitter, two two way splitters, and one cable running directly to another TV.
The cable box now works perfectly. They also have two other HD televisions. After performing a rescan, they now receive additional channels that they didn't realize they had. Apparently, the signal had been too weak for the TVs to pick up the channels.
This booster also has bidirectinal capability which enables signals to be sent back through the device to the cable company. Prior to the booster installation, their On Demand was not functioning at all. However, after installing the device, their On Demand and Cable Modem function perfectly.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone dealing with a weak cable signal.
What's great about it: Easy set up,
I would recommend this to a friend!

Experience the side-scrolling fun of Super Mario Bros. in a new way: in the company of your friends. New Super Mario Bros. Wii provides exciting new multiplayer action that lets you play cooperatively and competitively with up to three other players. Roam through the exciting and challenging side-scrolling worlds solo-style, as in previous versions of the game, or gather a group of friends or family to combine your talents in a fast-paced free-for-all.Play as Mario, Luigi or one of two Toads, and encounter other fun characters from throughout the Mushroom Kingdom as you make your way through the game. Lend a hand to your fellow players to help save them from danger, or push them in the path of it to clear your own way to victory. Make use of the motion-sensing capabilities of your Wii Remote to employ fun tools, including seesaws and the exciting new propeller suit, which shoots you high into the sky. Ride atop various Yoshi characters, and use their tongues to your advantage, whether swallowing enemies or fellow players.

I was able to play the new Mario game at Best Buy's corporate campus prior to its release courtesy of Nintendo on 10/20/09. I only had time to play two levels, but if you grew up playing Mario on the classic Nintendo like I did, you will love this new Mario. I am not sure what those new to the franchise will think, but my guess is that they will enjoy it as well.
This game functions just like the classic Mario games, and despite not having played those games for more than a decade, I was able to pick up the controller and begin playing immediately. You only need to learn a few new moves, such as shaking the controller to use the helicopter function.
The graphics are great, and the cooperative play mode adds great new functionality to the game. Growing up my friends and I had to take turns playing, which was the biggest downside to the game. Now, with the new multiplayer capability, you no longer need to sit and wait for your friends turn to end.
I would rate this even higher than Super Mario Galaxy for several reasons. First, I like the side scrolling better than the three dimensional game play of Super Mario Galaxy. Second, the multiplayer functionality in this game is far superior. Not only can you work together to complete the level (like Super Mario Galaxy), but you also compete. You each have your own score, and can actually cause the other players to lose points throughout the level by throwing them at other objects, etc.
Overall, a great new game.
What's great about it: Just like Mario for the orignial Nintendo, but better.
I would recommend this to a friend!
