Abstract
A method of automatically switching on/off a low noise amplifier that serves to boost weak video signals in a TV tuner (). The method involves determining whether there is a signal present in the reception, and if so, whether the signal requires boosting. Thereafter, the method determines whether the booster has caused an overall improvement in the reception and accordingly maintains the booster amplifier switched on or switches it off.
