Will this work between outside roof HDTV antenna &amp; TV? Does it matter which direction the protector goes? On TV for example might be backward?

Should work just fine; direction doesn't matter. Just make sure you have a good "coax grounding block" (also available on Amazon). I'm using them for my Dish antenna which have the grounding blocks already installed.

Ray: Just go to Home Depot and purchase a 15' length of 1 1/4 " diameter aluminum pole. Any pole will do however. This antenna works best in the attic. Just mount the pole on the crossbeam somewhere and then aim it in the appropriate direction. In my case I bought a $10.00 pre-amp to give the signal a boost but I probably would not need it. It sounds like it will be outside. That's ok. Just a utility pole of some kind will work. I assume you will anchor it with a cement foundation, which is why mounting it inside(in the attic)works better. It is a Great Antenna and delivers HD pictures. You save money too. You won't need Cable or Satellite Dish anymore.

It's not "omni-directional" With HDTV you only need to point in a general direction. If Winegard wants to know how to make it "Omni directional", they should ask me to design it. John A. Lamantia (Warwick TV Service)

I purchased this item to boost the signal of antenna TV. It didn't help at all. That's probably because my antenna is behind a hill that blocks the signal. Never tried it where the signal was good.

I am using a rooftop antenna with a signal booster from Radio Shack. Should probably use an antenna made for digital TV.

Depending on where you live, the orientation of your house, which direction the antenna will face and whether it's on an outside wall or not, then maybe yes and maybe no. You would have to try it first without mounting it to see your reception.

All I can say is that I have mine installed in a closet under a stairway next to the chimney. I have the antenna vertical rather than horizontal, facing the direction of the primary source of TV signals. If you can receive some signals with a regular antenna, this will improve your reception. If not, find a place where a regular antenna works and install it there.

I think the closer that you get it to the window is the best. Mine is near the front of the house, street side, and I placed it above my window. The signal will travel through the sheet rock. It works great. I don't think the metal roof will matter much, infact it might enhance the signal. When I placed the signal on top if the entertainment center the signal was not as strong as it was by the window!

It will if the signal is strong enough. Works the same as any antenna. I am in a bad reception area and need to move the antenna often. Even weather can mess up the signal. However this is the best I've tried, good luck!

I have mine 3" in front of my HDTV. Haven't had any issues or interference with the picture. I assume it is shielded.

Hello,I installed mine over a year ago and it works amazing up here in the mountains even with a steel building. I have 5 bars on my phone through out my 7,000 sq ft structure. As I remember I had to call Wilson and ask which antenna would be best for my system. I purchased whatever they told me to get...and it works awesome. If you are wondering...definitely call Wilson for your particular installation and location.

I am no techie but since it has a connection for an indoor antenna, I assume it it will somehow connect to an outside antenna. The TV is great. I own 2.

We purchased this for an outside antenna and it didn't make a difference at all with viewing more or better. We gave it away as it was past the time that Amazon would take it back without shipping fees etc. Good Luck!

It works best with a outdoor antenna. However for the price it cant hurt to try it..

This would mostly depend on the quality of your antenna, it's correct orientation and how high up you can mount it. You might also try an amplified antenna. Hills, obstructions and weather will also adversely effect your reception.

This is a directional antenna. you need to point it in the direction where you want to get the signal. This is regardless if in the attic or on top of the roof.

I used Quad Shield RG-6, 75 Ohm cable for my installation and never had an issue. Technically, I think you're supposed to go with 50 Ohm for the outside antenna, then 75 Ohm indoors but i used the same for both without problem.
