Antenna booster/amplifier? TV channel scan

Do tv's have built in amplifiers for the signal, because when I scan on my pc the picture is choppy… I have a winfast pci tuner card.

  • No, TV's do not have built in antenna amplifiers. Those would add to the cost and could potentially be amplifying a noisy signal.

    Are you using the same cable and the same outlet from the wall?

    • Yes that's why I can't understand why the tv picks up every channel, where the Winfast pci tuner cannot. When it scans, the signal strength is usually 40% on the pc.
