- Do I need power at the antenna for the amplifier?
- Yes. The amplifier needs power, usually through a power inserter on the coax line near the TV, so plan an outlet near the set or a powered splitter.
- Will it work in an attic?
- It is built for attic or outdoor use. Attics work best with wood or shingle roofs; metal roofing, radiant barriers and foil-backed sheathing can block reception.
- Does it pick up VHF stations too?
- Yes. It covers both UHF and VHF, so it can receive high-VHF channels that UHF-only antennas miss.
- How many TVs can it feed?
- One antenna can feed several TVs through a splitter, but each split costs signal. With a long run or many sets, a distribution amplifier helps.
- What is in the box?
- Expect the antenna, its amplifier and mounting hardware. Check the contents list for the coax and power inserter, since those are sometimes sold separately.
- Do I need to point it at the towers?
- Yes. Aim it toward the transmitters, using a compass and a signal map. Rescan the TV tuner after each adjustment.
