Q: Interesting shape for an antenna. How does it compare do a flat or rabbit ear antenna?
A: I previously had one of those flat ones that was powered. I had to put it in certain places and positions to get all channels. In particular, I couldn't hide it behind the TV. But even with the flat antenna in the open, the signal would still sometimes break up. The Core Innovations ball seems to get all the channels while sitting inconspicuously on the shelf behind a vase. It's much more unobtrusive. This is working better for us than any flat ones that we've tried.
A: It has a coax cable hardwired into it, which you would hook the other end into your tv tuner, and a power cord you plug into the unit and an electrical socket. It is not wireless.
Q: How come the antenna lights stay on when I turn off the tv?
A: The lights are an indication of signal strength at the antenna. They will be on as long as the antenna is plugged in.
A: We have massive trees in yard and everywhere around us..., apparently there is no interference from them as this unit pulls in far more channels than we had expected!
Q: How long is the coax cable?
A: Hi Harry, please be advised that this ANT801DCR coax cable length is 9.8'. TO know more information about this product, you may call our customer service hotline 1-833-909-2673, Mondays to Fridays from 9am to 5pm PST. Or email us at [email protected].
A: Yes, if the roof is between the broadcast station and the antenna you want to hook up to your TV. Devices are often built into metal cases to prevent stray radio emissions from affecting them, same principle applies here. Even a thick wall may block a portion of the signal. Placing the antenna in front of a window may work, it depends upon the angle the signal is traveling, and the strength of the signal, but your best chance at that distance is an outdoor antenna.
Q: Does the TV need to be digital?
A: TVs made after ~2005 are all made to receive digital channels.
A: If you are within 50 miles of an antenna, yes .
