Not that I'm aware of as the unit only comes with an existing lead for relatively short distances, i.e. to a window. For a more permanent installation Wilson offers several powerful amplifiers and these units are capable of being connected to outside/roof top or other antennas with long heavy duty coaxial cable. Just be prepared to spend significantly more money, which I have done also, and also expect significantly improved power and reception.

You can purchase a magnetic mount that bolts to the base of this antenna. It is a very strong magnet and worth the money.

http://www.antennaweb.org/ will show you what kind of antenna will work and how far you are away from the tower.

You assemble the antenna (not hard to do) get a mount to put it on (can find one in Amazon) and mount it on your roof and run the cable into your home to the tv. It has a remote control to rotate the antenna.

No, the metal roof blocks all signal. to be effective this antenna needs to be out in the open and above all interference.

If its on your roof use one like the one I ordered here HDTV Antenna Mount - 20in If you want it on a pole I would either put 1" metal outdoor conduit pole plumb in ground and either put a bag of sack crete around it or do what I seen someone do put it in a 5 gal bucket and pour sackcrete in around it.

If I am following you correctly in what you are trying to accomplish, why not just take out the entire mast and rotation/attenuator hardware and replace the entire antenna system with the fixed Jack Antenna HDTV System, Model #OA8200. It has a built in amplifier and signal meter. Instead of cutting the mast and modifying it for fitment. It will be lower or as low as the the A/C Unit on the roof. Assuming you have one.

Go to www.xm-radio-satellite.com and purchase a Sirius XM Radio Universal Antenna Extension. They have several different lengths.

I have my antenna mounted on the A part of roof and it has metal trim and it is about 2ft. above roof. In all from ground up it is about 25Ft. The antenna works great! No interference the nearest tower is about 23 miles away. If it was an fm signal it would interfere. The metal roof can help pull digital signal in.

The center of the roof is the best place. Any thing else is a compromise in performance. The loading coil needs to be higher than any surrounding objects for the antenna to work optimally. Being a base loaded antenna, it should be mounted on the highest point on the car. If it is a magnet mount, you shouldn't need to drill any noticable holes. Run the coax into the trunk. They also make trunk lip mounts. I have used base loaded antennas on a trunk lid. It doesn't work as well as the roof, but the loss in performance was only slight. It wasn't night and day.

With any antenna, the key to best reception is to mount the thing so that there is line of sight to the reception towers. So...if your 15' mount will allow you some line of sight to your local towers, great. Otherwise, you may need to go up higher. I will take this opportunity to say that my roof mount of this antenna is flawless.

I agree. Look at the Firestiks or Wilson antennas if you want to thread mount it. I posted a pic of the antenna disconnected from the magnetic base if you decide to go this route.

Sorry, I can not answer your question. I returned my HD9095D antenna back. If it did work, It will not be on top of the roof but up high on the hill behind my house.

I thought it was an easy install because we had an existing old antenna. We had it up on the roof in no time. Just follow the pictures for putting it together. Go to: http://www.tvfool.com/ to find the directions you'll need to point the antenna for your favorite channels. I live in the mountains with lots of trees and I get lots of channels.

This Website offers a lot of help with Antennas.http://www.k0bg.com/antennas.htmlMy installation was working before replacing the Firestik. I don't know how long my coax is. It's routed through the roof of an RV.

Cable is not very long. I used a splitter and connected it to the cable in the attic since I had to put the antenna in an attic window to get good reception. So yes it can be extended.

I went with a quad band antenna from ebay. Fixed to a boot mount on mast on house. Couldn't afford a home base antenna.
