Q: How many TVs can I hook this up to and use at the same time?
A: If you have coaxial throughout your house, you can hook up as many tv's as you want. Right now I have 3 in my house and they all stream HD. Hope that helps. What I did when I had DirectTV, I took off the dish from the arm and put this antenna on it, bolted it down and then hooked up that coaxial to the antenna since I knew it worked before. I can have all 3 tvs on different channels receiving the free over the air broadcast. Hope that helps.
Q: What channels do you get. is there a guide that comes with antenna. How many channels.
A: Check tvfool.com or antennaweb.org to see what channels you can expect at your address. TVfool will give you a graph showing which directions the towers are from your locations. I bought mine as an open box item so I did not get directions, but I found some information on the manufacturers site. Plan on only getting green, yellow, or blue channels. Anything beyond that is questionable. I found that the 50 miles range was not true for my location with an attic installation. Rooftop installation increases the distance.
Q: Is this a multi directional antenna ?
A: The Clearstream 2V with mount by Antennas Direct does not have a color code on the box. I have looked everywhere for you. This antenna is not amplified. It is a stationary antenna that comes with a J-Mount, mounting hardware and installation instructions. What I did with mine was I took off my DirectTV dish and put this antenna right on that mount and bolted the HDTV antenna to the arm. Then I hooked up the coaxial to the existing cable that runs through my house. For more information to your questions check out antennasdirect.com and search for model C2-V-CJM. Hope you find what your looking for. This antenna works like a gem and my antenna gets all the local channels and more crisp. Thanks
Q: How high do we need to mount antenna?
A: 50 miles may be pushing it for this antenna. In any case, the higher you can mount it, the better. An unobstructed line to the transmitting towers is ideal. Trees are very effective at blocking the digital signals. Cable quality has a huge impact on effectiveness of the antenna. This is more important when you get cable runs of 100 feet or more. Is your booster mounted on the antenna? The booster is really an amplifier and must be as close to the antenna as possible. It can only amplify the signal it receives. As the signal travels further down the cable, it weakens. You want to amplify a strong signal (near the antenna) instead of a weak signal (near the television). Again, this is where good quality cable makes a difference. If your television has a signal strength meter on it, use it. Have someone rotate the antenna while you monitor the signal strength on your television.
Q: Ditched Direct TV Used existing post DO I NEED A GROUND WIRE
A: You should always ground, or bond to a grounded source. If there is ever an electrical storm you will be glad you did. Always remember that electricity follows the path of least resistance so I would ground near the antenna. As for you splitter, make sure it is not a radio shack special and it is capable of receiving a vast range of frequencies. It should be printed on the splitter and I would look for something that picks up between 5-2000 mhz.
Q: is a digital converter box required for these antennas?
A: Not if you have a newer flat panel tv, yes if you have a tube tv
Q: do I still get the weather channel,history,and documentaries etc.
A: No, this only picks up over-the-air broadcasts. If you want to watch the cable networks you mentioned, you will need to stream via the internet using SlingTV, Roku or Hulu. But they all cost $. I prefer to keep my TV free and learn to watch other things.
A: Is it possible that your "source" selector on the TV got changed by accident to "Cable"? Mine sometimes changes (remote control issues, operator error) and I have to change it back to the "Antenna" source.
