Q: QuestionDoes it matter in which direction I point the outside booster for my antenna.

Asked 5 years ago by Louie.

• A:Answer The booster only filter's/amplifies the signal the antenna gathers. So, the booster has no directional need. Aiming the antenna is how you get the best signal strength. Hope this helps.

Q: QuestionDo you have a Schematic Drawing of how this preamplifier is attached to the Antenna cable which is attached to the Antenna on the roof?

Asked 5 years ago by Bernice.

• A:Answer Bernice, Basically the black plastic piece has an input, and an output on it. On mine, I connected a very short section of coaxial wire from my antenna to this plastic piece input section, (labelled antenna.) I then connected the long coax cable to the connection (labelled TV) on the plastic piece. Your long antenna wire then leads into the house, but before it connects to the tv, you connect it to the white piece, which is the actual amplifier. This white amplifier has to have power, so you need to attach either the supplied electrical plug to a wall outlet, or if your tv has USB connections you can give it power just by attaching the supplied usb connector to your tv. There is a schematic picture in one of the Best Buy images which might help to clarify. Good luck, mine worked very well
