Can I attach wire to cable system already installed in house.

The antenna uses the same cable. I unhooked my DirectV cable and just hooked it up to the antenna. I added a splitter to hook up another TV.

Yes. I do. When I dropped cable I used the existing distribution network installed inside for cable. There's an adapter at the antenna that connects to the same coax cable as in your home. Just drop the cable from your new antenna and connect to your inside network.

The short answer is yes. I am assuming that you are not subscribing to a cable service and you just want to use the coax distribution system that is already installed in the house. The antenna comes with a transformer to convert the antenna to feed the coax that most CATV systems use. Be sure you make good tight connections and weather proof any outdoor connections. I have had very good results with this antenna

Sorry, I cannot answer, because I did not hook up to the already wired cable system at my home. I had read someplace that the results might not be satisfactory.

it depends on where you are mounting the camera if you install it on the outside of your home just use three wood screws also drill a small hole for the tube to fit into so it will look like you have wire running into your house

Yes, you will use the included wire nuts to connect your two existing wires of the same color to the wires that are on the device.

Yes i found the wire that comes with the system just fine. If your setup needs a longer wire, then that may be a reason to invest in a thicker one, otherwise there is too much hype even in AVS forums about the wire.

You could, but it would really be excessive. If you happen to have 4 ga wire run already from a previous installation, you can certainly use it, and there would be no harm in using it, but it is definitely more than is necessary.

No. All we had to do was plug the appropriate wires into plugs and it was ready to go. (Actually, the cable guy did it, but that was all he had to do.) Installation was quick and painless. There was some sort of identifying number he had to read off the router, but it was right there on the label.

Yes, all you need to add is a 12VDC power supply and a switch/dimmer.To connect directly to house wiring (not a plug) get a 12VDC supply with leads for wiring.You can cut the strip into shorter lengths, but you need to be able to solder small electronics to add connectors.Kits are available with connectors pre-wired that are easier to use but more expensive.

Most likely you can. It will depend upon the size of the wire. There is a screw that you loosen to insert the wire and the opening is fairly large so you should be able to get more than one wire installed.

If you are using existing system shouldn't need wire.I did go to hardware store for ends as existing were soldered

Yes, please follow the How To Guide come with the package. You have to connect the wires included with the package to the ground port of an outlet. Before doing it, you have to assure your outlet is grounded by using the included outlet checker.

Yes. It is very easy. You will need a home drill. Also be aware of the level between the cables for a proper instalation.

You have to attach the wires of what ever cable you have. Most cables have 3 wires on them, a ground wire, a power wire, and a neutral wire. We have had ours for about 3 years with no problems.

it should be used outside at the point of connection to your home from the cable service. it also needs to be properly grounded to your electrical system to be funcitional. the cable company will have grounded their initial attachment, remove that ground and connect it to this device. make sure you have the cable feed from the company connected at the end that (i believe from memory) says "service", the other end will say something like "customer", that's where you connect the line that goes into the house. i also recommend securing this to the house structure via the mounting holes provided. make up your connections wrench tight to help prevent oxidation of the copper center which carries the signal. best of luck to you. remember, connect it outside at the point of attachment and ground it.

Should not be a problem, cable is durable enough. Local building electrical codes would be a factor if new construction install after electrical inspector signs off. otherwise go for it for neatness.

My husband put a cable casing over top the wires. You can buy the casing at Walmart or Lowes.

No, this is a hardwire set up and can only be connected by copper wire hook up. I would read the installation instructions very carefully.

Yes, just connect new cable to the male coming out of the wall then attach the new cable to the modem. no problem, I just did that my self, and works great.
