You are only limited by the output of the amplifier you use. This is what an amplifier does. It does not get you receive extra signal, instead it ensures your tv receives the same signal as your antenna reiceves. As signals travel down any length of wire they loose strength. I have a clearstream c1 antenna (no amplifier) hooked into a rca preamplifier (17dbm gain) and run 100 ft of coxial just fine. If you use RG6 coxial, you will loose around 4-6db of signal per 100ft. So you need an amplifier over 6db. Also note that the tuner in your TV has a loss of around 8db. A two way splitter is a loss of 3.5db. So if you have a 2- way splitter and 100ft of cord, you will need an amplifier with a gain of around 17.5 db.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I used the 30' cable that was supplied with the Mohu antenna, and then an additional 20' or so to get it into the house. From there I used the supplied "amplifier" and hooked the cable into an 8-way splitter. I now have service throughout the entire house.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We only recomend adding an additional 50 feet of coaxial to the 30 feet that comes with the Air 60. Signal loss can occur when you use too much.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We are using the wiring installed by Directv with the antenna in the attic, going through the second floor, down to the farthest corner of the first floor with no problems.
