DTV Conversion Question - Antenna Signal Amplifier Available?

[wajobu]

Greetings TV experts!

I have an Analog-DTV converter for my little vintage 1985 Panasonic 12" color TV. I built one of those DTV coat-hanger aerials that AK member pmsummer had posted about (and AK member Snade built). The antenna is quite directional, but very effective! I live in a low signal area, but remarkably I am receiving some channels that I would have never expected to tune in (CT Public TV and a couple others), but other usual channels are missing (but those stations might not be fired-up yet).

For FM reception I have been using a little plug-in signal amplifier and it really works quite well (it's rated for FM frequencies--IIRC 50 MHz to 200 MHz) . Is there an equivalent signal amp that I could purchase for the converter? The converter scans channels 2 through 69--I'm not sure what frequencies that channel range is. BTW, I did try my FM signal amp and there was no change in signal level at the DTV converter. I also have a satellite signal amp, and that doesn't work either.

Thanks in advance for any help.
