Do I need any additional equipment to use this antenna ? Or I only connect this antenna to the TV and start to use ?

My TV is an HDTV. I just hooked up the antenna cable to the back of the TV, plugged the electrical cord into the wall outlet, put the antenna in the window, and had the TV scan for channels. In one window I got 11 channels, then I switched to a different window in the same room and got 35 channels! I did NOT use a cable/satellite box. The reception is awesome; it looks like I have cable, but I don't. :)

If your TV is Digital which most of them are, then you only need to connect the antenna in the back of the TV on the "antenna in" outlet and then with your remote perform a channel scan. If you have the old kind of (TV's not digital ) then you will need a digital converter box

You need an antenna cable to go from your antenna to the device hooked to the "in" connector. Then you can hook another antenna cable to your TV from one of the "out" connectors.

If the antenna that has an amp is used with this amp you will have to install this amp after the existing amp. I assume the one you have now has a amp that attaches to the antenna then the cable runs into the house and connects to a piece that plugs into the wall and connects to the TV. The cable from this piece that would normally connect to the TV would connect to the input of this new amp and the output of it would connect to the tv. That's a lot of amplifying. You might want to connect this amp further down the cable if you have a long run.

Yes, just get a connector with dual female ends and a length of coax cable to reach between the antenna and your tv.

Hi, the cable that comes with the antenna for attaching to your tv is 6ft long. It is very thin and likely too short for most setups so you will want to pickup a longer coax cable, especially if you are installing in an attic. Good luckJeff

Use the 2 outside connections. It doesn't matter which antenna you plug into each of the connections.

HI, I HAVE BEEN USEING THIS ANTENNA FOR YEARS NOW, IT REALLY WORKS GREAT,BETTER THAN THOSE MORE $ ones, anyway it comes with a cable already attached to the base of the ANTENNA. All you do is screw the other end into HE ANTENNA port on the back of your TV, then go into your TV settings and make sure it's set to over the air TV ,not cable.OVER THE AIR.THEN IN SETTINGS YOU THEN PRESS THE SCAN ALL AVAIBLE TV CHANNELS AND WHAT EVER THE ANTENNA FINDS IS HOW MANY FREE TV CHANNELS YOU WILL GET.ALSO TRY MOVING THE ANTENNA AROUND TO DIFFERNT SPOTS EVEN A INCH TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT CAN MAKE YOU PICK UP MORE FREE CHANNELS.,I PUT MINE AD HIGH UP ON THE WALL BEHIND MY TV.

Hi,you will need to go to Get My Electronics.com and buy a RF antenna adapter. There is a place for the adapter on the TV and then you will be all set to use any antenna you want.Jan

You'll need an Amp as well. The best one I've tested so far I bought at Radio Shack. It has two adjustable amps; one for the line going to the TV's and one adjusts the gain of the antenna mounted unit. Speaking of which, the amp has a unit that will mount at the antenna and another that will mount inside and need power. The indoor portion will provide power through the coax to the antenna mounted unit, so you'll need to make sure any splitters you have in line have a DC bypass. My house in pretty much in the same situation as yours and this antenna wasn't ideal. While all the panels are facing the same direction, the antenna is strong, just like the much cheaper DB8. However, if you try to point the panels in two different directions (like it's supposedly designed to do), you lose too much gain. Once trying that, I lost more than half the channels I was getting.

if your old cable is working fine, then all you need to do is connect it to the new antenna. It doesn't come with a new cable.

You need and HD source. OTA antenna if you can pick up locals, sat., or cable box with HDMI or component outputs.

This antenna includes mast mounting hardware but not the mast itself. You will need to purchase an RG-6 cable long enough to reach your TV set. Depending on your signal strength, you may need to buy a signal amplifier. If you use an amplifier, you will need two different lengths of RG-6 cable - Use 1 piece from the antenna to the amp and a 2nd piece from the amp to your TV. The amp needs to be inside but as close as possible to the antenna. Buy two screw-on RG-6 connectors if you buy only 1 cable and cut it at the amp. I used a GE -23 decibel amplifier. I tried an RCA -10 decibel amp but it didn't work very well. If your TV is not digital ready, you will need a digital converter box. Hope this helps!

Tom - what is your question? If it's a matter of wiring more than one TV to the antenna,, you need a coax splitter. Hope this helps...

The antenna uses the same cable. I unhooked my DirectV cable and just hooked it up to the antenna. I added a splitter to hook up another TV.

No, I wouldn't bet on it. I would choose a more traditional antenna. Get one that specifies that it is designed for HDTV. All antennas require power and for this one, there is a power inserter that plugs in on the wall & power runs up the cable. I kind of remember that some antennas have an amplifier right in the antenna. This is a fancy-schmancy antenna for those who are budget constrained or need a less conspicuous one. You might also need an HDTV signal amplifier between the inserter and the TVs. I would recommend the Channel Master CM-3414.

You connect this via the coax input on your TV. If that's broken, you won't be able to connect this or any other antenna. Your only choice is an external digital converter or cable box.

Hi, yes you will need an antenna to get local channels. If you don't need local channels, then "no". We do have ports that you can add third party devices to television (dvd/directv).
