Q: 1 Does antenna need power source/outlet -- nothing like that on my roof? 2 Will large trees on property affect signal reception?

A: Yes,it has a powered amplifier, just before it screws into back of tv,it has a 6 inch pigtail to introduce power and I have mine on chimney and trees might hurt reception but not much,,get it up high as you can

Q: can you hook up more than one tv

A: You can split this just like coax for cable. Can reduce the signal though the longer the cable run.

Q: We are receiving excellent reception for VHF stations but are not getting any UHF stations even though the towers are located in the same area. Any ideas why this would be?

A: We had the same problem. There is an easy solution. In your TV settings menu you should find options to select "cable" or "antenna". If your TV is set to cable it will not receive any UHF stations. Change the setting to "antenna" and rescan for stations. We received a whopping 66 stations after making the change.

Q: Can we connect this outside antenna to the existing outside DirecTv cable attached to the dish which we will disconnect?

A: Yes you can. I did this and then split the feed in the house and was able to use one antenna for all three of my TV's. Works great and saved me from buying multiple antennas.

Q: is it omnidirectional?

A: The best I can tell it is NOT a true omni-directional antenna. The instructions say that 'if possible point it towards the transmission tower'. Sounds directional to me. Given transmission waves do bounce around somewhat, the antenna will pick up some signals from the sides, and perhaps some from the back. If you read up on own-directional antennas then you'll see how they address placement, etc. Hope this is helpful - in a round-about, omni-directional sort of way.

Q: how far will pic up

A: This model has a range of up to 60 miles.

Q: Will the "I" shaped mounting base-plate fit onto the side of a 4X4 lumber post. Or can the mounting base-plate be mounted on a 4X4 post using all the predrilled holes?

A: Unfortunately the mounting base-plate is too wide to fit on a 4x4 post. Four of the six holes can be fastened to a 4x4 post, but part of the base-plate (and two holes) will hang off to the side of the post.
