compatible power booster/amp for Comcast/Xfinity cable tv

Is there a compatible power booster/amp for current Comcast/Xfinity cable TV?  Motorola BDA-S4 apparently has quit working.

Hello and thank you for joining the Xfinity Forums community, 

carl5150. When it is necessary to increase the incoming signal strength at your home, a drop amplifier may be installed. This can also be referred to as an amp or booster.
 
Each drop amplifier requires a power source. A standard coaxial cable is used to deliver the electrical power through the copper wire inside the cable. The drop amplifier is generally found near the ground block or where the drop connects to the home for the best signal and the least noise on the line.

A good sign that a drop amplifier is not working is that your Xfinity TV services are not working while your Xfinity Internet and/or Xfinity Voice services are working. 

Sample Models of Drop Amplifiers:

Commscope - CSAPDUPVP
Evolution EVO 1-5-U/U
