I have a Direct TV dish on the garage. Ideally I would like to replace it with this antenna. Does this unit use coaxial cable (want to use existing).

I actually used the Direct TV coaxial cable that was on the old dish mount to connect the outdoor antenna w/ my digital TV. I did have to attach a smaller diameter pipe to mount w/ the outdoor antenna but was simple enough.

You will need the coax cable. It depends on your signal if you need an amp- and a mounting pole if you don't already have something to attach it to. We bought the amp just in case and it helped us. I thought the coax came with this one but it did not.

Fred, I had the antenna installed at Featherlite, so I don't know if the coax wire was included. sorry

The antenna has a balun built in so you can connect your coax directly to it. It also has a second connector to connect a VHF antenna.

OK, near a window? In the city? Let me suggest this: In the center pin of your coax plug, unbend a paperclip, carefully insert it into that coax in on your tv and connect a long wire or :conductive" material to it (foil). If you rescan with that in and STILL get nothing, unlikely but may happen, it's your location. If it picks up anything, the antenna's a dud. If it works, gauge what you can get from a homebrew antenna and go up from there. This may not be strong enough to hit your local channels. I know of a 50 mile radius antenna at $60; before you throw in the towel, try the paperclip trick. THe HomeWorx is inexpensive; returns are "meh." Good luck!

This antenna works with any tv that has a coaxial cable input....that's how the antenna connects to the tv and the cable comes with the antenna. Make sure you order the correct length cable.

This antenna actually connects through a coaxial port. I have an HDTV and connected this antenna to the coaxial port on my TV I did not use an adapter. You won't need an adapter either it will connect to old model TVs and HDTVs. I should tell you also that this antenna doesn't provide you with the channels that it should. The reception may depend on where you live but I would advise buying it used versus new.

Antennas do not connect via HDMI. The antenna is picking up an analog multi-channel RF signal and the best choice of cable to carry that signal is coax. All antennas require a device that can receive the analog signal and turn that into a digital HDTV signal. Most current TV's or DVRs (such as TiVo) have this receiver built in. HDMI is used for connecting digital sources to each other.

I may have over looked a very important fact. I doubt this router has a coaxial cable connection. It probably has either net cabling or USB cabling hook up. So assuming it has no coaxial cable hook up, then the router and this antenna are incompatible.

Do NOT BUY I had orderd this tv to use as a computer monitor the first one shipped to me without stand an screws and remote was missing sent it back got a second one and all parts where there but the vga did not work did not bother to order a new one as there where no more in stock from dealer but answer too question any tv can be used with direct tv and dish as long as there is a coaxial connection

No it does not come with a coaxial cable. It works perfectly. I just had to contact Comcast, to get setup. Every modem has an identifer. So Comcast needed that. They were very nice. They didn't complain about me getting my own modem.

It doesn't have a coaxial cable input. If your TV signal can be supplied with HDMI, VGA, or DVI, you're okay. If you only have coaxial or 300 ohm (flat TV antenna wire) this unit won't work for you.

If you are looking for a replacement cord, I'm not sure about whether you will be able to find one. But, the coax cable is not permanently attached to the antenna, so it should be replaceable. I hope this answers your question.

This cable should work fine for Direc-TV as it's the same cabling the installer provided and is currently carrying my DirecTV High-Def feed. Make sure to research DirecTV's support for the proper number of feeds from your dish to your box.

A coax simply attaches to the antenna. In the image, you can see it coming in from the base. It is then snaked up the hollow aluminum pole and out the pole at the top. Then the coax is attached to the unit. Keep in mind, the antenna is also an amplifier. It must be used with a Winegard switching DC unit in the RV to power it.

did the coaxial cable work when you did it? I called Sharp and the didn't have cables and said it wasn't coaxial. It does look like a regular RCA plug and if that is the case, then I'll just go by a coaxial cable.
