Interested if I can use this with attic antenna. The cable is 100 ft to my basement. I would like to add this amplifier at that point 40 ft to TV ?

Yes, whatever your signal strength is now, the booster will ensure that signal is sent to your TV. Just be sure to have your antenna positioned to achieve optimum reception.

If you're receiving a good signal now, the amplifier will strengthen it considerably. It shoudl work the same with an attic antenna as it does one placed outdoors.

I believe the preamp will work on most any kind of antenna. Put it close to the antenna.

Yes , but not 40 feet down the cable. This is a signal pre-amplifier, system. It consist of the pre-amplifier and a power supply. The pre-amplifier should be installed as close to the antenna as possible. The power supply can be installed anywhere along the cable, though. It will definitely boost the signal levels for you.It should be good for 3 devices up to about 200 feet.

The power cable doesn't run from the wall plug to the amp. It runs to the cable joiner that then sends the power up the coaxial cable that also carries the signal up to the amp. So, my plug sits behind my TV, and the amp sits up in my attic on the third floor with no issues. You may have issues if your coaxial is longer than 50ft--I can't verify it'll work longer than that since that's how far I send mine.

the one that comes with it is junk and is only 6 feet....any cable will work....the best thing to do is to go to you old cable box and back feed the wiring thats already in the house...i gotten a house with 6 tv's up and running this way without running one new wire!!! antenna is GREAT when you get it aimed right....moving it a inch in ether direction can make a station come in or not be there at all....make sure its over the roof line unless you know all the tv stations are in one direction...if you go to tvfool.com and type in your address is will show you where EVERY tv station is relitive to where you are so you know where to aim the antenna...also this one is NOT good if the station are over 45 miles the one that comes with it is junk and is only 6 feet....any cable will work....the best thing to do is to go to you old cable box and back feed the wiring thats already in the house...i gotten a house with 6 tv's up and running this way without running one new wire!!! antenna is GREAT when you get it aimed right....moving it a inch in ether direction can make a station come in or not be there at all....make sure its over the roof line unless you know all the tv stations are in one direction...if you go to tvfool.com and type in your address is will show you where EVERY tv station is... » Read More the one that comes with it is junk and is only 6 feet....any cable will work....the best thing to do is to go to you old cable box and back feed the wiring thats already in the house...i gotten a house with 6 tv's up and running this way without running one new wire!!! antenna is GREAT when you get it aimed right....moving it a inch in ether direction can make a station come in or not be there at all....make sure its over the roof line unless you know all the tv stations are in one direction...if you go to tvfool.com and type in your address is will show you where EVERY tv station is relitive to where you are so you know where to aim the antenna...also this one is NOT good if the station are over 45 miles « Show Less

If you can supply ac power directly to this amplifier, it can replace your existing one. You cannot feed power to this amp over a coaxial cable. Whether it will help your channel reception or not is uncertain, but most likely it won't help that much, if at all. You may find it more productive to reposition your antenna for better reception, if that is possible. Good luck. I hope you find a satisfactory solution.

The amp has to be close to the antenna no more than 10 ft for maximum performance. From there you can split the signal 4 ways no problem

Antennas Direct recommends it, so I bought the 8 terminal one they recommended, and it works great on 6 TVs in various areas of the house, and with several hundred feet of cable attached. If you have one TV and are using a 30' cable, you may not need a amplifier, but I would not know. By the way the Amplifier I bought cost $75 to $85, so they are not cheap---but they do work.

I never installed mine but on the roof is the best and I have had success with all sorts of antennas mounted in attics. Assume all necessary pieces are there for either 300ohm or 75ohm connections providing your receiver is so equipped.

Run a power signal amplifier up to 20 - 30 feet downstream from the antenna. You can then run 2 - 75 foot coax from the amplifier with no signal loss. Better ones have two out to TV connections and a lit power on indicator. Trick is to adjust the antenna position for maximum reception. The powered signal amp will make all the difference. Expect to pay 60.00 dollars and up for a decent amp. If you post the question I will tell you which model and where to buy. I'm talking pro equipment.

Yes. As the previous answer indicated using a coax cable splitter. If the signal is to weak then you may have to add a small amplifier, that's what I did. Search Amazon for 'signal amplifier tv antenna'. Find an inexpensive amplifier with an 18 dB output. Should give you a range (reach) of about 30 miles.

I think it may depend how far you are from the signals you would want to pick up. In your attic you may have an easier time directing the antenna to get the best signals. The antenna uses a conventional F connector to attach to wiring you may already have in the house.

putting it in the attic may work better then on the roof. It worked the best for me in the basement of my house but a small adjustment would drop certain stations. On the roof it was just a nightmare. I think the built in amp was too much gain. most the towers were right around 30 miles and I just had a heck of time with this thing. I would turn the antenna pick up one station and drop another. I ended up just using a HBU-35 with no pre-amp under my deck and get all stations with a good signal. All I can say is give it a try.

Cable is not very long. I used a splitter and connected it to the cable in the attic since I had to put the antenna in an attic window to get good reception. So yes it can be extended.

Try it. It might work. I have my outdoor antenna on the roof of the house, and have this amplifier near my HDTV in the basement. It has worked so far.

It is probably not recommended, but it might work. I just connected 20 feet of 1/4" OD .170" ID tubing to the supplied tubing and got an identical reading, but that is without the tubing ran up 20 feet. You'll probably want to run a few scenarios to confirm operation, such as confirming readings between the attic and basement with the fan on and off.

I do not use a amplifier. I do not know if a specific amp matters. This antenna has a 50 mi. range. If you are close to the outer limits of the range it may benefit you to use a amp.
1758328
They sell a 50 mile antenna that looks like this same antenna with an added amplifier/booster. Perhaps buying it, and just adding additional coax might give you the same results as the others have mentioned. BTW, I thought this antenna worked surprisingly well...if your local channels' signals, and your tv's tuner, are strong enough, you may be able to add extra coax with a signal booster. Good luck.
