Which ways do I install white or black out null

It doesn't matter. It's 2 colors so that you can kind of match it to your decor. It's reversible.

This is a "great" question Best Buy customer Bob! The idea behind the one side being white and the other side being black on this Winegard Indoor HDTV Antenna model FL-5500A (and also the Winegard FL-5000) was for the "interior designer" in mind. Some peoples' rooms are painted lighter and some rooms are on the darker side. My walls are painted off white; however, I have the "black" side of the antenna facing "in." I made that choice as my antenna is affixed to a window positioned to the "outside" of my vinyl blinds. My vinyl blinds are white so from the outside the white side of the antenna kind of blends in and you don't really see it. I "will" offer some advice with regard to mounting this antenna => 1.) This antenna's "factory" cable is an RG-59 cable--if you need to add an extension Coaxial cable, please make sure that it is an RG-59 and "NOT" an RG-6 coax cable as this can have a negative impact on reception as it did with me! 2.) Prior to installing this antenna, hold it up to the light with the "white" side facing you and you will see the "wires" inside of the antenna. I always try "not" to place the double sided mounting tape over these wires to enhance TV signal reception, but I don't know if it really makes any difference. 3.) If you are positioning this antenna in a "window" as high as you can go (this is the recommended method!), try to use "vinyl" blinds over aluminum ones as I have found that the aluminum blinds negatively impact the reception--particularly if the blinds are positioned between the antenna and the direction of the TV broadcast towers. Please don't forget to go on websites like TVFool.com (and there are others!) to identify the location and the distance of your TV broadcast towers and the TV stations that you should be able to receive and as the manufacturer of this antenna recommends every so often conduct re-scans. Sometimes your ability to receive channels increases when you conduct these periodic re-scans while other times existing stations change the way they broadcast their signal so you can "re-capture" them.
