Please I want to ask anyone already bought and tried this booster if I can install the antenna on the roof about 8 mete wire to link with the booster?

We have ours installed to antenna on roof with about 30 foot cable and it works just fine for our cellphones in the house.

Sorry, I don't know. I just plugged mine in, a few years ago, and have used it ever since with no problems at all. I might add that the antenna it's attached to is an outside HD antenna. I can say with certainty that quite a number of channels, from the antenna, come in far better with the booster (without which some don't come in at all), but I suspect that its amplifying capabilities may not be enough to help much with a much weaker signal than one gets with the outside antenna. ....You might try Googling the model number, though; there might be something available on-line. Good luck.

That's where mine is. If your roof is wood and asphalt shingle AND you can get it high enough, it should be fine. I pull every channel that is available in my area (50 miles) which equals 36 channels. It does a very good job and my antenna is just 13'8" from ground level. Love the High Def reception

I have my repeater installed on a metal shop. What I did was place my antenna on a mast about six feet above the roof I have had no problems.

For that to be possible the antenna needs to, in effect, be 3 antennas. Who would want to mount 3 antennas, even if they are all in one, on their roof? Splitters are cheap anyways and can divide up the signal fairly well.

There is no problem mounting to your trailer. My friend has his mounted on a mast which is mounted on the roof of his trailer and has guy wires attached to the framework. He has NO problem receiving or transmitting. He drove a ground rod into the earth alongside his radio room so that the antenna would have a good ground. If you don't want to mount to your 'tin can' you could always install a 4" X 4" treated post alongside your trailer and mount the antenna to it. You will still have to drive a ground rod into the earth to provide a proper ground for the installation. Either way should work for you. There is no problem mounting to your trailer.

I have not done that personally because with a signal booster I can pick up everything there is available to me where I live, raising the antenna higher up was all I needed to do. I do know someone that did what you are talking about, was the only way he could pick up the FOX network, and it worked out great for him, no signal boost needed and he picked up even a few more other channels

We installed the antenna onto a 5 foot section of 2" PVC tubing and attached it to the peak of our roof on the eave. You need to purchase the appropriate length of coaxial cable to run from the antenna to the booster box.

Hello, we have a metal roof and it worked for less than two months. But I don't believe it had anything to do with the roof. We have an old fashion roof antenna that works very well.

I have a similar situation but don't know if it will work for you. The DB8e is the most powerful antenna I found so if it doesn't work, I don't know what would. My stations are all within 10 miles of my house. Locate the antenna where it isn't blocked by trees close to the antenna.

Raise the antenna. Maybe purchase an external antenna and plug it into the antenna slot.

You can. You would hook it up from the tv to your antenna. If you don't have a very strong signal to begin with, this won't boost the signal enough to get more channels. Before we hooked up the booster, we had 4 channels, and after we had 6. We live 30 miles away from where the networks broadcast, so we are too far away to get those channels without using an outdoor antenna.

Yes you can. It should be used as the outside "donor" antenna preferably roof mounted to provide as much isolation between it and the inside distribution antenna(s). This directional antenna needs to be orientated toward your carrier's closest cell site which will serve as the donor. Be sure that your signal booster is approved under the new Federal Communications Commission rules for these devices and that you notify the carrier whose signal you will be rebroadcasting in compliance with these rules.

I have used the antenna as supplied and a "better" one. The hardware expects to see the signal coming from the little line amplifier that is supplied with it. Upgrading to a "better" antenna will be successful only if that line amplifier is left in place and the replacement antenna is routed through it. With the antenna supplied with the AVerTV system, I could pick up all but one of the local stations plus those from 50 miles away. With the upgrade, I could pick up the missing local channel that was blocked by the high-rise building in which I was living. Try out the "blade" antennas such as the LEAF that can be hung on the wall, placed in a window frame,

You could if you know how to attach a new PL259 coax connector...that is problem one...problem two is that sometimes the length of the cable is actually part of the antenna design so it may not work quite as well...my suggestion is to just roll it up neatly and tape or tie tag it...

Antennas do not work well at all if there is any metal involved. We recommend that if you have a heat shield, foil backed sheathing, tin roof, etc. that you mount the antenna on the roof to get up and over the potential metal blockage.

Julie, that is why I installed the product. With a metal roof, I had no signal. This is supposed to extend/boost the signal. After I had mine installed, I have signal in my basement! Now there was an app " Open Signal" that I used to find where to install the antenna to get the best strength. So, I would say he didn't install it correctly. Mine works well and so does my sons and one of my clients installed his in a shop with a metal roof to get a signal. Have him come back to install properly!
