Q: Does this antenna pick up both VHF HI & LOW bands?
A: AntennaPurchaser provided an erroneous and misleading answer to this question - and BestBuy has rated it the best answer! All TV broadcasts are now digital, but they can be broadcast on Low-VHF, Hi-VHF, or UHF. It is true the labelled channel you tune to isn't necessarily the actual broadcast channel, but that goes both ways. In the Dallas area where I live, ABC broadcasts on channel 8 (Hi-VHF) and the labelled channel is 8. NBC broadcasts on Channel 41 but the labelled channel is 5. Most stations broadcast on UHF now, so antennas available are optimized for UHF. Even though an antenna my claim to receive Lo and Hi VHF as well as UHF, the antenna gain in VHF is less than half the gain in UHF - say, 3.6 dB vs. 7.6 dB. I'm 35 miles away from the broadcast antennas; UHF reception is very good but VHF (ABC) is marginal. I have a Clearstream 4Max for UHF and a Clearstream 5 for VHF, both attic mounted, with a Winegard 200A amplifier.
Q: Can you hook two of these antennas together that are pointed in different directions ?
A: Yes you can. Use a 2 way coax splitter “backwards” to combine the signal from the 2 antennas. Hope this helps!
A: No it doesn’t have a amplifier. I bought this because is better then any powered amplified indoor antenna. I’m sure you can boost the signal if you add a powered amplifier. I know that Channel Master sells things to clean the signal and amplify the signal. But for me this is all I needed without anything else and it works fine. Note : if you look up online which way to point your antenna, base on you location zip code . That will help you find the best possible position for your area. We get about 54 channels . I also bought a Channel Master Stream + , which works great and maybe I’ll try a Tablo Duel or Quad, that would be my next choice. Good luck and I hope this helps.
Q: How would you connect it to the TV? Bluetooth or by using a cable?
A: Cable only. F-type screw in connection
Q: Does it also work for FM reception?
A: FM frequency is 88 to 108 MHz, this antenna supports VHF Range: 174-230 MHz & UHF Range: 470-862 MHz. Not that it will reject FM signals, so you'd probably see an improvement in reception verses what is internal to a FM receiver, but not ideal if that is your only interest.
A: You need to buy coaxial cable and attach it from the antenna to the back of your tv. You will have to make a hole on an outside wall to route the cable to the tv unless you already have existing cable running throughout the house.
Q: Is this a multi directional antenna?
A: No, It seems to be very uni-directional.
Q: Does this work for both VHS and UHF frequencies?
A: Yes, this picks up both frequencies. Also, even though this is supposed to be a directional antennae, I am picking up stations that are probably 150 degrees from the direction that the antennae is pointing. The antennae is pointed toward an array of towers towards Miami, and also picks up signals (with clarity) from Palm Beach to the rear. I highly recommend this product
