Can i hide this behind TV or i have to expose it out? Anyone from Dallas/Irving Texas use this for WFAA and KTVT?

We don't always have ours unobstructed and often it is laying flat on the floor and we get a great picture.

Yes you can. It has a suction cup on it. Mine is hanging off the back of my plasma.

You can hide it anywhere however you might not get the max amount of Chanel's

This tv has the usual transformer and it is between the wall plug and plug that goes into the tv. It isn't a wall wart, it is larger. The television is so thin that there isn't enough room in the tv for a transformer. The transformer could be hid behind the tv is needed but, an extension cord would probably be needed to supply power for the plug in. They need to make a longer power cord that has the transformer nearer the plug in that goes into the wall receptacle. It is difficult to wall mount a tv that has this large type transformer about mid way along the power cord.

I also have an outdoor UHF flat panel antenna. One interesting fact is that Windows Media Center will try the second input if the signal is too weak on the first one. So if you have two separate antennas aimed in different directions, you can automatically receive and record channels from two different cities. Very cool.

It doesn't have an internal antenna, but even the coaxial connector will pick up *some* reception, but naturally it'll just be free over the air programming line NBC, ABC, CBS, or Fox, and it won't be very good. But no, it won't be 100% static white noise.

I run 60' from my antenna to my home all buried in a pvc waterproof tubing. Any plastic tubing such as this will work and is reasonable in cost. The tubing also protects from mice which can eat it.

I don't know about that, Lou. I ran mine through the hole with the coax. I think that it would probably interfere with the mounting plates for the dish but didn't try so don't take that as the gospel.

I am using it outdoors. I sealed the connector at the antenna with coax seal and have not had a problem

Check the locations of broadcasting sites in your area, and then see if you cannot get a bearing on them through a window. In many cases all the locals will be on the same hilltop, and the Terck doesn't have to be *near* the window, just AIMED through it towards the broadcasters. There should be a webpage for "broadcast television stations" for your area, and will give you bearings from your location. I don't have direct experience with the siding issue, so that may be a sticking point.

Many homes have power outlets in the area behind the TV. As a result, the power cord can also be hidden behind the TV. If there is not a power outlet behind your TV, then the power cord might be visible (somewhere between the Roku and the power outlet).

Yes. The wires are very well hidden. The only thing I can say from experience is to make sure that you mount the unit high enough so that when the wires come out from the top, they are hidden by the tv. Have someone hold it on the wall and sit in your viewing area to make sure. I didn't and now I can see the wires for about 2 inches. Doesn't bother me though. Hopefully this helps.

My TV is near a window. Reception is very good except for the NBC station in the NY metro area. Cord is approx. 6 ft. and long enough for my needs. The directions also say it can go on an exterior wall. Did not try this.

As you can see the antenna is a telescoping rod. I took it to a town 10 miles north of the station and had trouble pulling in my HD channel. So it's not so hot when it comes to sensitivity. (Selectivity is marvelous, since it's "all or nothing" with HD radio.)

Sorry, I am not from your area but the antenna works very well in my area. Good construction, easy setup. I am in Westlake, Ohio and pick up 35 channels. Tvfool.com will tell you what channels you can pick up and how many miles they are. These are all local, independent, and PBS channels. Sorry no cable tv channels. FYI I have this antenna connected to 8 port amplified splinter with 5 TVs and everything works great.

Mine has worked fine with just keeping it behind my TV. Like everyone has said, the cord is very long so its just a matter of trial and error of where the antenna works best for you with the best signal!

You can hide it under your dash , I did on my 242 yamaha. It worked great from over 50 feet away.

u will get ur local unscrambled channels,i have two of these and love them it will take a while to go thru the channels and set them up. No coax port on a tv? whats next? looks like u will have to rent a box maybe that was the plan all along by not adding a coax port. would like to know what brand it is if u dont mind.Or is this a monitor/display u are using?

We purchased this for an outside antenna and it didn't make a difference at all with viewing more or better.We gave it away as it was past the time that Amazon would take it back without shipping fees etc. Good Luck!
