I need a "Red" Medium Directional Antenna, anyone know if the box lists this as a "Red" CEA-certified Antenna mark?

I am a video broadcast engineer. I have never heard of "Red" as any form of broadcast reception. This antenna will receive "Any" known over the air broadcast signal in it's UHF frequency range. It is excellent for anyone in the city range of the broadcast station.

Indoor antenna's are not color coded. There are too many variables that effect reception inside a building. You'll need to get an outdoor antenna if you want to guarantee it'll work for you. For what it's worth, I'm using the antenna in a yellow zone.

Hello- if you are in need of an antenna for this box I will suggest just an ordinary newer pair of standard " Rabbit Ears" I bought a RCA antenna (rabbit ears) for around $10. They work great! Good luck!

I had the same problem with the DTA 240 Antenna. I returned it for a refund.

It depends entirely on where you live. Go to antenna.gov also http://www.antennaweb.org/Address.aspx. Type in your street address, zip code and a list of channels in your area will be generated. NOTE: ( at antennaweb.org check the button that indicates the antenna will be placed 30 feet above the ground. You'll get a more accurate list) The lists are color coded, indicating channels that should be easy to pick up "green" all the way to almost impossible "red". Antennaweb also generates a map showing the transmission towers in relationship to your location. Could be useful information when trying to determine where to place your antenna for best reception.

The light on the antenna is powered through the coax. Your coax should run directly from the antenna to the power box provided. Then from the power box out to TV 1 and TV 2. The power box should be plugged in to a 110 wall outlet. If all that is correct try using a different coax. There were a lot of bad reviews on the cheep coax they send you with the antenna so I never used mine instead I bought good coax from the local electronic store. A cheep way to check if its your coax is run a small piece ( like 2 or 3 foot)between the antenna and the plugged in power box. If the light is on its your coax if its still off send it back and have them send you a new one. Also if the red light isn't on the booster isn't on either. Hope this helps.

I don't know. Most things electronic these seem to be fcc compliant.I do know it's very fussy machine and helps to be aimed at the tower or a tower if possible. I had a wilson Yaggi antenna(high quality) and still the signal in my area was hit or miss

Thanks. This is the same info I received from Mohu.I did purchase one. I am about 35 miles from Philadelphia. I am able to get the VHF channel 6 (ABC) if I rotate the antenna 90 degrees.

I don't know because I got rid of my boxes. But I have two that look like this one mounted,: one facing south, and one facing north allowing me to receive all channels available in our area. Great reception..saving thousands of dollars by not having "subscription tv service" over the eight years we have had them

When you purchase an antenna, make sure it's able to pick up both UHF and VHF. You may also choose to buy two separate antennas but that depends on your distance from the stations in your area. I got an antenna made by Antennas Direct and it works as advertised (and maybe just a little bit better than that). I have the Antennas Direct C2-V-CJM ClearStream 2-V Long Range UHF/VHF Indoor/Outdoor DTV Antenna with 20-Inch Mount. I'm about 35 miles from all of the stations and am very happy with this converter box. It's low priced and works.

It appears to be the label side. When I switch it around my interference increases significantly. And Yes it is definitely directional. Honestly I would only recommend getting one, two barely increased my signal.

I'm not sure, why they are marked that way. But I have this antenna and it gets all the channels including 1-6. It was easy to install and has worked great for me for over a year.

you need an SMA Reverse polarity Male connector, other wise you´ll be stock with an antenna you cant use.

Just received this antenna and it was not as shown in the ad. I had checked the internet to find out how to tell the original NAGOYA antenna and knockoffs. Two things to look for where the laser made decal on the package and the blue label on the antenna. The ad showed both and so I assumed this would be the real thing. WRONG! Neither the decal nor the blue label is on the one that arrived. I contacted Amazon and reported the problem. Note this was reported by other buyers but I ignore the warning! Buyer beware, what you see is not always what you get.

First response I think of is whether there is adequate signal and if the lights light up quicker if you move the antenna to a different direction? Next thing I think of is a loose connection from the side mounted switch to the antenna power line at the antenna itself? It is good to test the connection before sealing it all up, but I really don't want to go there! Good luck!

ok,well,as i just stated in my last post, i have already gone to antennaweb.org.and their information must be taken with a grain of salt.the predictions for what you can and cannot get seem to be educated guesses,but do not pan out (at least in my case). but anyway,i already know that knowing the location of a transmitter generally helps.i only want information on different makes of converter boxes.
