Pro Outdoor/Attic Mount TV Antenna, 70-Mile Range with Included Mounting Bracket, VHF/UHF

If you see that TV is detecting channels over the air but not displaying it after scanning seems like a TV issue. Some of the old TVs may not work. Try to rule out by connecting that same antenna to different TV to see if that TV picks up the channels.

Hi Duane, thank you for your question. Antenna reception is based on a line-of-sight signal path from the TV broadcast towers to your home. Obstruction in the signal path can limit your reception range such as metal construction, barriers and terrain. To ensure you receive the maximum number of channels, we recommend placing the antenna as high as possible or near a window. You can use www.antennaweb.org to look for the DTV reception maps to determine the available stations and location of the broadcast towers in your area. Once you have located the strongest signal, you will need to scan for channels on your TV. We hope that this resolves the problem, if you have any further questions, please feel free to respond or give us a call between the hours of 7:00 AM – 8:00 PM Central Standard Time, Monday thru Friday at 1-800-654-8483. Thank you.

yes

Yes it does required

Hi Tim, thank you for your question. Yes, Coaxial Cable is required to run from your antenna to your TV. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to respond or a give us a call between the hours of 7:00 AM – 8:00 PM Central Standard Time, Monday thru Friday at 1-800-654-8483. Thank you.

Hi John, thank you for your question. Our Pro Outdoor/Attic Mount TV Antenna does not require the amplifier to function. The amplifier will bring the channels in stronger, however it will not extend the antenna’s range. We recommend going to www.tvfool.com and plugging in your zip code to determine the direction to point your antenna. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to respond or give us a call between the hours of 7:00AM – 8:00PM Central Standard Time, Monday thru Friday at 1-800-654-8483. Thank you.

All antennas must be pointed in the direction of the station's tower. The SMALL end is the front of the antenna (I have seen hundreds installed pointing AWAY from the station, because people thought the "big" end was the front.) The amplifier question can only be answered if we know how far you are from the tower(s), is the antenna outside (federal law prohibits HOA or landlords from preventing outside antennas) or in an attic, if in attic -- is there a radiant barrier -- which kills signal, how many TV you expect to feed, and length of cable between TV and antenna (if over 30 to 50 feet). My advice is install and test -- then get an amplifier if needed. (Many issues with amplifiers, so get an "FM Filter" and a "High Pass Filter" to prevent strong FM broadcast and AM Broadcast and Amateur Radio transmitters from overloading the amplifier.) You must feed the antenna with RG6/U foam coaxial cable with 100% shield.

You do not need to use any amplified as the antenna does not require POWER. You just have to point to certain direction where most channels are getting launched from. Use the website www.tvfool.com and put your zip code. Based on your location, it will tell you which direction you should point your antenna to get most number of channels.

Hi John. I recently installed this exact antenna and pointed it just a little off North (about 1 o'clock.) The transmitters for the local TV stations are in that area. I mounted mine in the attic and get crystal clear picture and audio, even on the "low power" stations. So, to answer your question, find out where most of your local stations from. Not where the studios are, but where the actual transmission tower is. Point your antenna in that direction. Also, depending on how far you live from these points will determine if you want to consider a signal amp. I live about 40-50 miles away and get great reception without one.

It is a good idea to ground any antenna installed outdoors; HOWEVER, if your house is not sitting all alone on a hill, or the tallest structure around, probably a waste of time. A "ground" is not effective if it is a piece of wire "X" feet long with bends in it. Even a perfectly straight wire is not a great ground for lightening. The best ground is at the ground level at the entry to the house.

Yes. Outdoor install require a ground.

Hi Roman, thank you for your question. Yes, the antenna needs to be properly grounded when installed outdoors. If you are unsure how to properly ground your antenna, please contact a professional installer in your area. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to respond or give us a call between the hours of 7:00 AM – 8:00 PM Central Standard Time, Monday thru Friday at 1-800-654-8483. Thank you.

Hello Srm, thank you for your question. No, the antenna will only need to be grounded if it is installed outdoor where it is exposed to weather elements. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to respond or give us a call between the hours of 7:00 AM – 8:00 PM Central Standard Time, Monday thru Friday at 1-800-654-8483. Thank you.

It is always best to ground an attic antenna. Lightning travels tens of thousands of feet through air so less than an inch of wood and shingles won't stop it.

No. It would work better outside -- especially if you have a radiant barrier in the attic. No HOA can prohibit outdoor TV / Wireless antennas, per federal law, BTW. (47 CFR, Vol 1, Subpart S, § 1.4000)

My Installer did not ground it as the ground would require to run wire to terminate to a pipe (metal or copper).

Yes, complete with all the hardware.

Hi Skip, thank you for your question. No, the antenna will include a J-Mount. However, we do offer the wall mount brackets that fit on the wall. If you are interested in getting the wall mount, please don't hesitate to respond or give us a call between the hours of 7:00 AM – 8:00 PM Central Standard Time, Monday thru Friday at 1-800-654-8483 and press option3. One of our friendly staff will be glad to assist you. Thank you.

It comes with few brackets as my antenna is mounted on the roof.

yes sir

By Federal law no HOA can stop you from using a outdoor antenna as long as it is less than 39 inches

The radiant barrier will NOT allow reception, in most cases. The HOA rule is preempted by Federal statute (47 CFR, Vol 1, Subpart S, § 1.4000). The HOA cannot prevent you from installing an antenna for TV or satellite reception outside, but they may require that it not be visible from the front of the property -- but ONLY if that does not render installation inordinately expensive or impossible. Send a letter to the HOA stating that you are installing an antenna for broadcast TV reception, state where it is to be installed, and cite the fact that their rule is in violation of 47 CFR, Vol 1, Subpart S, § 1.4000.

Although many hoa’s will give you issues, they often are not aware of FCC OTARD law or try to get around it. Check out the law. It states size limitation, common area,historic and other limitations. Usually in a privately owned home, the main restriction is that it has to be used for over air broadcast, under 1 meter in size and not used for ham operations.

You should check with a lawyer. An HOA is NOT allowed to prevent you from installing a TV antenna or small satellite dish.

All TV antennas that are not balls are "single direction" -- but that does not mean only a single compass direction. Most TV antennas have beamwidths of around 30 degrees.

This product is a single directional antenna, and you can change the position if you wish.

it is a single direction antenna

Hello Valued Customer, thank you for your question. This antenna is design to be a single directional. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to respond or give us call between the hours of 7:00AM – 8:00PM Central Standard Time, Monday thru Friday at 1-800-654-8483. Thank you.

The antenna looks single directional, however, mine it pointed North and I get all kinds of stations from Bakersfield ( South about 6 miles away.)
