  • QuestionDoes this antenna pick up both VHF HI & LOW bands?

    Asked by VHF.

    • Answer 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.

  • QuestionCan you hook two of these antennas together that are pointed in different directions ?

    Asked by Raven.

    • Answer Yes you can. Use a 2 way coax splitter “backwards” to combine the signal from the 2 antennas. Hope this helps!

  • QuestionIn the specification it says the signal is amplified. I do not see an amplifier in the pictures or description. Does it have a powered amplifier?

    Asked by Tesla.

    • Answer 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.

  • QuestionHow would you connect it to the TV? Bluetooth or by using a cable?

    Asked by Anonymous.

  • QuestionDoes it also work for FM reception?

    Asked by ChuckS.

    • Answer 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.

  • QuestionI know this screws into the house but how is it connected to the house? Is there a cable that goes from the antenna to somewhere on the outside of the house or how does it work?

    Asked by JJK1822.

    • Answer 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.

  • QuestionIs this a multi directional antenna?

    Asked by mistercs.

    • Answer No, It seems to be very uni-directional.

      Answered by Geno

  • QuestionDoes this work for both VHS and UHF frequencies?

    Asked by Tesla.

    • Answer 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

  • QuestionI live in a concrete building facing south The antennae’s for broadcast are North, . ( satellites are south) . So I’m basically behind a concrete wall from the major signal lines in Los Angeles. Will this pick up signals ?

    Asked by Jenslake.

    • Answer I don’t think anyone will know until you try. Personally Start by going to the website tvfool.com. Enter your location and it will give you a list of stations in your area and the signal strength. it also can show a map with the direction for each channel . Hope that helps But just try it and if that fails return it . LOL

  • QuestionHow many TV’s can be set up on this antenna?

    Asked by DLSimon.

    • Answer Depends. If the signals in your area are strong, and if quality splitters are used and all TV inputs are reasonably sensitive, you could put ten TV's or more on the antenna. Some TV's have a signal metering function built in to help you. If so, you can look at each channel to see how many bars you get each. Then the best practical answer is to look at one TV signal metering function to get a base idea. If it's good, then buy some splitters and see how the divided signal fairs with more TV's attached. Think of it as like dividing a water hose to more and more sprinklers and losing a little oomph with too many. Splitters usually come in a choice of 2, 3 or 4 terminals. It is best to split, in combination, to the exact number of TV's you plan to use since unused connections actually degrade the signal balance, almost like a hose leak. If the are any splitter terminals left over, you should be able to buy 75 ohm 'terminal' caps to screw on the few unused splitter terminals to correct this. If any signal line gets weak, it can be boosted, either on the input to any TV, or before any splitter, right off the main antenna lead. The splitters aren't too expensive and boosters are just a bit more. Still, these parts plus extra lead wires can exceed the antenna cost, if you need quite a few.
