Is this cable the right choice to use with a long range DTV Digital Outdoor HDTV rotor TV antenna?

I am not sure, but I have found the tech assistance at this provider (Wilson) to be very good. I would guess the answer is yet, because the copper core of this product does not care what type of wavelength it is carrying or what it is used for, it just transmits a wave length over the surface of the copper. So I would guess at yes, if the connectors are the same, but this is a guess. It is a good shielded cable and the connectors are great, but it has to match what you have.

- This is the wrong cable for outdoor DTV antennas.. This is a 50 ohm cable, and you would want a 75 ohm cable.. RG6 is normally a good cable. For excessively long runs, you can use RG11 but it costs more and the ends are more expensive, as they require different crimper to install.. RG6 usually covers most DTV applications.

Cable best used with Wilson amplifier products as is a very low loss cable intended for carrying signal to amplifier. Would be overkill; use of RG-6 coaxial cable (at lower cost) would meet your requirements.

You probaably could use that cable, but i thinks its overkill, RG-6 coax would suffice

I would not recomend it. Best is a good outside antenna. The cost is not that much higher and you will get the best picture.

I haven't tried that cable on those models. You might want to check some of the Amateur Radio sites such as QRZ.com. It's always a good source of info.

Yes, with digital transmission reception will be either great or non-existent. This could be due to cable loss if the run is too long and a line amp may be required. Just my two cents.

This splitter is used for splitting DirecTV signals. I cannot guarantee that it work with an HDTV antenna.In order to ensure high picture quality, I recommend using a splitter designed for HDTV antennas.

I'm really not sure of all the technical jargon, but I it says it is engineered to receive 1080i HDTV broadcasts not always available on satellite or cable. Perfect antenna for local HDTV reception (channels 2-69) up to 45 miles from broadcast tower. I have been using this antenna and have a perfect picture and it is 100% better then when I had cable. I get channels from Boston, MA and that is about 40 miles from me so I'm happy with the results. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help but the customer service number for the TERK Amplified HDVa Pro is 1-800-290-6650. They may be able to answer your question more fully. I hope I helped some.

This antenna works like the old TV antennas known as "rabbit ears", except it is made for the newer digital channels and HDTV. The antenna uses the coax cable antenna input on the TV. My guess is that it will work great no matter where you live or what brand of TV you have, as long as the TV has the correct antenna input and you live close enough to the TV station's antenna to receive the signal. I live in the Phoenix metro area and this antenna works great about 10 miles from the station antennas. I have tried this antenna with Mitsubishi and JVC TV's with excellent results. I hope this helps. This antenna works like the old TV antennas known as "rabbit ears", except it is made for the newer digital channels and HDTV.

Hi, Greg!Your best bet is to go to this page: ClearStream 4 Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna with Mount - 70 Mile Range and look for "A Message from the Antennas Direct Team" way down the page. There, you'll find a phone number and you can call the mfr directly to ask whatever questions you need answered. Before you call, look at your TV set to determine which inputs it has (write those down). If you're planning to use the cables from the dish as the cables you'll use from this antenna, try to read the cable type on the cable jacket and write that down also. There may be an impedance issue that will require a different cable.

I'm currently using the cable straight from. HD directv DVR to a Toshiba LED, the signal is great haven't had any problems

Yep.. This is the one I bought and it works fine. I do recommend a newer antenna to attach to this cable as it seems a little lossy but it works fine with an antenna with good gain.

I agree with L. Cheng, Amazon allows returns so I would purchase and return as "defective" if you don't get the channels you expect or if it does not perform as expected. Also, try this website for channels available in your area, but it would of course depend on where you put the antenna.http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/dtvmaps/

Yes. This was for a connection from my HDTV to my tuner. It is as good as any other expensive cable.

This antenna works OK by itself in my application. I am 20-25 miles from the broadcast antenna, and over a hill or two. I think the documentation tells what channels it is optimum for. As I recall, it is the high VHF channels (9-13). It will work with another antenna since it includes the balancing connection. One thing to remember is that the channel may not broadcast on the channel your TV displays. For example, our channel 7 actually broadcasts on 39.

Hi Ace! Yes, you certainly can hook this up to an outdoor antenna if it uses a coax-type cable. You just screw it onto the back of the DVR. Or you can find an adapter that converts old-style two-wire TV antenna lines into a coax connector. The DVR comes with audio and video cables that then hook it to your TV. It also comes with a single adapter you can use instead, in case you have an older TV lacking those video and audio input receptors. Everything is color coded. Simple to do either way. You can record any channel you're watching and you can program the DVR to tune to a particular channel at a set time to record a program, movie or event, That's all in the instruction booklet that comes with it or you can find the same information online. Like anything new, it takes a little getting use to, but once you do things right a few times it's so simple. And, unlike most newer DVRs, this one doesn't make you jump through hoops to enter codes that match your TV or TV reception service. It scans all that by itself and enters the information into its own little internal computer all by itself. Depending on your TV brand and age, all of your channels will come in on either channel 3 or on "Video 2". Then you use the DVR remote to switch to the stations it scanned from your antenna. Real simple!

RG6 would be better, especially if you have a long distance from your antenna to your TV. Shorter distance should be ok with RG59.

OK, near a window? In the city? Let me suggest this: In the center pin of your coax plug, unbend a paperclip, carefully insert it into that coax in on your tv and connect a long wire or :conductive" material to it (foil). If you rescan with that in and STILL get nothing, unlikely but may happen, it's your location. If it picks up anything, the antenna's a dud. If it works, gauge what you can get from a homebrew antenna and go up from there. This may not be strong enough to hit your local channels. I know of a 50 mile radius antenna at $60; before you throw in the towel, try the paperclip trick. THe HomeWorx is inexpensive; returns are "meh." Good luck!

I would check http://dtv.gov/maps for your area. It matters how many miles you are from the towers that send out the signal.
