I wish to place it on the window sill behind vertical plastic blinds. How wide is it? And will the plastic blinds mess up the reception?

It's about 2ft wide. I don't think plastic blinds will interfere with the reception.

The length of the 'wing' is about 28" and the depth is a little more than 5". The plastic blinds will not effect reception, but if the window sill is close to the floor, the house electrical wiring, that usually runs around the perimeter of rooms at wall outlet height, will. [generally, the higher you place the antenna, the better your reception] Go to antennaweb.org, enter your address and see where the TV transmission towers, for stations available to you, are located in relation to your house. This will determine the direction you should orientate the antenna for best reception. The length of the 'wing' is about 28" and the depth is a little more than 5".

The product specs are 8.2 x 28.5 x 10.8 inches (D x W x H). I can't imagine that plastic blinds would have any effect. I have two of these, on the floor behind a chair, the other on top of a cabinet in the kitchen with brass and ceramic pots in front of it. Miraculously it has to go through several walls in my home to pick up stations by line of site 30+ miles away. It pick up about 30 of 32 stations that a $500 roof antenna does installed a few years earlier.

I have no idea. I would call the manufacturer. It def. was designed to fit in a standard horizontal window. sorry.

Hi I bought this blind in 8 ' x 8' size attached to outside patio french door 8' wide by 6' 8" high. Only problem is the blind won't stay tight when windy day, as the blind track has no gear, so it could not lock the blind from rolling down when you don't pull it down completely. No problem when you roll out the blind at full high and tight down at the bottom.

I used it last summer in a horizontal window (slides l/r). I used a piece of wood to hold the sliding side firm against the a/c, and a thin sheet of opaque Plexiglas over the top. A mount was installed to support from the bottom. I filled any open spaces that remained with double-sided adhesive weather stripping. The sliders are only for regular (up/down) type windows, save them for if you ever need them (my landlord changed our windows from slide to regular this summer).

Be warned, your window needs to be a minimum of 22". They do not tell you on this site. I found out the hard way and still waiting for my return slip (6 days and counting).

It is glued to the outside of the window with a self adhesive already applied to the antenna mount...the inside portion is glued the same way...the advantage is no drilling holes, and it does work well. I installed it on my RV and went from only static to very clear reception...

Doesn't stick out very far at all -maybe 5-6 inches at most.But I guess that would depend on the thickness of your window casement.Actually a very small unit,but works great for the size&price; !

Mine is placed on a vinyl window and it works great. I have not had any problems with it coming off.

I didn't put that very well. With the adjustable shades, the roller itself will telescope to fit the window width, and you just peel the shade itself to match.

We use ours inside. We screwed the mounting mechanism to a board and placed it upright next to a window (works great). I am not sure about the hanging it idea; it seems to me that it would be sideways if you mounted it directly to a wall but perhaps that would be a slicker way to do it. You need to find a good reception site no matter how you do it. I hope this helps.

If your window is too shallow, you can get those curtain hangers that come out away from the wall a few inches . I'm not too familiar with how to hang blinds so I can't really answer that part for you, sorry.

No, it will not ruin your window. It just uses static cling to stay in place.

It will not block the view. Sorry I sent mine back so I don't have dimensions, but it was bigger than I thought it would ve

Mine is installed below a window. It has a very small footprint, especially if you're using it without the baseplate for a three hole configuration. It could be snug against the wall and still be able to work. I have it installed with the baseplate and it measures about 2.5 inches front to back. If you're worried about a window sill, if it hangs over your current faucet and is less than a foot above your sink, I wouldn't get this faucet.

I have mine mounted at the corner of a 12'x24' metal awning and it works great. It is about 16' above the awning. the awning works as a ground plane. I live in Arnold Missouri and have talked all over the east coast from Florida to Canada, Texas, La, Georgia, Ca, Or,Wa and BC on a Galaxy 98vhp. can't beat the antenna.

The width is adjustable so that would be okay. You don't say if your window has a sash that raises & lowers. If you can raise and lower the glass to adjust the size that the window is open to the air- the height of the open space, this might work fine.

Sorry it did not work for better reception so I returned it. I originally hooked both to the one. Hung it near a window also. Thought of splicing the one and dividing it also but decided to just return it.
