A:AnswerMany of the newer TV's on the market are being made with no coaxial port and/or no digital tuner. This trend is because many people have discovered the joys of streaming content either through their new "smart" TV or using a streaming device so who needs a coaxial port or digital tuner? Well...people that use antennas do!
All's not lost if your TV is missing one of the needed things. In order to use a TV missing the needed elements you can purchase a digital converter box. This allows you to connect your antenna to the television AND they have built in tuners also. A digital converter box connects to your TV via HDMI or other means (make sure you know which connection you need before you buy) and allows the TV to receive digital TV signals. A digital converter box is a one-time purchase with no monthly fees. One converter box is necessary for every TV that doesn't have a built-in digital tuner and that receives its signal over the air with an antenna.
A:AnswerNo. Connect the cable from the antenna to the amplifier then take the TV out connection on the amplifier to your distribution amp. I have a 8 way box which supplies the signal to 4 TVs in the house with no loss of signal quality.
A:AnswerThe only difference between the Air 60 and the Sky 60 is that the Air 60 is made exclusively for Best Buy. That's also why the shape of the antenna head looks different. The performance of the antennas should be exactly the same.
A:AnswerA regular rainfall shouldn’t affect reception. High winds, fog and heavy rain, however, can interfere with reception because they affect how the TV signals reach your antenna. Poor reception in inclement weather occurs because the signals are getting disrupted as they are traveling from the towers to your antenna. There is nothing wrong with the antenna so wait until the weather clears up and reception should improve.
A:AnswerI am using it to connect 6 TV's. I am using an amplified 4 way splitter. Be sure to install included Mohu amplifier before splitter. Amplified splitter may not be needed, depending on your signal strength.
A:AnswerAntennae are "tuned" to the wavelength of the channels you want to pickup. TV is a much higher frequency (shorter wavelength) than radio. The characteristics of the antenna reduce gain on the radio frequencies, and the included amp filters the rest.
Short answer: No, it will not pick up radio stations WELL. What it does pick up will be filtered by the amp.
A:AnswerThe first thing you need to know is the age of your TV. If it was made prior to 2009 you definitely need a digital converter. If you aren't sure when your TV was made you can find out a few ways. 1) Look in your TV's manual if you still have it. 2)Google the make and model and look for info on your TV online. 3) Contact the manufacture of the TV and give them the model number and they can advise you. What you are looking for is reference to a "digital" or "ATSC" tuner. This indicates that your TV has the needed tuner to work with an antenna. If you see NTSC however, it is not ready and a converter is needed.
Did you run the channel scan and make sure your TV is set to Antenna? If you are not sure how to run the channel scan please reach out to the maker of your TV for assistance. They can easily walk you through their specific process.
