I disconnected the cable coming from the pole and connected the antenna to the inverter going to the multiple rooms in the house. All Tvs work fine.

We installed ours exactly where the old cable line was installed. It feeds four TVs throughout our house. Was very simple.

Where the cable actually goes to the (splitter). Disconnect the( in ) antenna cable wire. Screw the new antenna in and wala. Good viewing.

You will probably want the larger Clearview Antenna. Best Buy reps are wonderful to work with.

Antennas Direct Expert · Answer

The difficulty level will depend on your location, the signal variables there, how the coax cable was run when it was installed, and the hardware that was used to distribute the signal. If you are familiar with the previous installation, it can be easier to install.

Should work great, just try to unhook the cable line that is attached to the incoming splitter and connect it to the antenna, mounted to the roof or side of the house. Just make sure to use the recommended app to find the best location in your area to point your antenna. Find a way to temporarily prop the antenna upright and pointed in the direction it needs to be and search for channels on your 2 to 3 tvs before you permanently attach it to your house to ensure you're satisfied with the signal strength (so you're only drilling into your house once). Try to keep the antenna as high on the house as possible. Your prior service setup should use a splitter to service the 2 to 3 tvs mentioned, so you would just use a regular RGA cable to attach to the wall and to the TV like you would if it was cable service.
