Although its from the other side of the pond the basics are probably the same.

Most ATV in the UK is now digital, on 23cm and higher.

Back in the day there was analogue B&W ATV on 70cm, but our band is only 10MHz wide so ATV was crowded out by voice and satellite activity.

Hi there! I'm looking to set up a tiny tv broadcaster in my garage. I'm also looking to do it under 50 bucks... would hooking these up to each other work? thanks! https://www.walmart.com/ip/THE-CIMPLE-CO-24dB-TV-Antenna-Digital-Signal-Booster-Amplifier-for-HDTV-Cable-w-Coax-Cable/716933485 (used of course!) I want to be able to get line of sight for about 25 to 45 miles on a good day. Thanks! im only worried of over distorting the signal... :/

Yeah, it should work. I see that there's even an adjustable gain on it. I have a couple TV RF amps like this as well. What to look for is frequency coverage, like 54MHz - 850MHz used to be typical for wide-band TV receive RF signal amps. BTW, that also works well for boosting signal for scanner usage. (I'm using one to boost 162MHz signal to a NOAA Weather Radio.) What you'd want to avoid are those CATV, (Cable TV booster amps.), that cut-off at like 450MHz. Reason being, most HDTV stations today have been moved to UHF frequencies, 470MHz - 700MHz. Oh BTW, this amp should also boost FM radio reception as well. Good luck...
