My home can recive only two local channels using normal antenna, can I have more channels if using this one? Thanks!

I only got two channels as well but i am sure it depends on location. If u get two channels without it i am sure u will get more with

Probably not while this antenna works i didnt get any reception improvement. No matter where i put it even tried outside. i have pretty strong tv channels as i recieve 10+ channels but they still go in and out with this one. I purchased the more expensive amazon really thin one and it works much better

Reading the description of that antenna, I noticed that it has a built in amplifier. Try using it first, to see what your reception is, before adding a separate amp.

I tried to hook up four TV's and it did not work. I put the antenna in the attic and split to three TV's up stairs and one downstairs. Signal was too low. I don't think it worked with just two TV's connected. I don't think this would work with any antenna out there. To be able to have multiple TV's connected to one antenna, I'm thinking would require a separate amplifier.

I have used the antenna as supplied and a "better" one. The hardware expects to see the signal coming from the little line amplifier that is supplied with it. Upgrading to a "better" antenna will be successful only if that line amplifier is left in place and the replacement antenna is routed through it. With the antenna supplied with the AVerTV system, I could pick up all but one of the local stations plus those from 50 miles away. With the upgrade, I could pick up the missing local channel that was blocked by the high-rise building in which I was living. Try out the "blade" antennas such as the LEAF that can be hung on the wall, placed in a window frame,

I am sure you can buy another antenna. However, the antenna included is a small one already compared to others. Good luck!

Just make sure you go into your tv settings and select antenna as the input, and then make it scan for channels. We use two of these as weather-back-ups here in FL when the cable goes out. I usually get around 20-25 channels

It depends. This item is an amplifier so you will get more channels. I put this on an outdoor antenna on my house just west of Boston and the antenna is pointing south. I pick up about 40 channels including all the Boston ones, most of the channels from Rhode Island, and some from New Hampshire. If you put another amplifier in line with this amplifier (booster as you called it) you may be able to get channels from further away or with weaker signals, but you may also amplify the closer/stronger ones too much and you will no longer be able to watch them.I suggest you try this amplifier as is.

Finding all the Over The Air broadcast channels in your area that this or any antenna can pick up is a function of your television. Look in the manual for your TV for how to add local channels. Usually it is just a matter of going to your TV's setup menu and selecting the button to auto locate local channels. If you are not sure what channels are in your area, another thing you can do is go online to a website that will show all the broadcast channels in your area. This is one I checked when I set up my LAVA 8000: http://www.homeantenna.org/digital-antenna-reception-map.html

Well, I live in a one-story cinder block house and I can only get five channels. So.... I suppose you could try it (maybe you're in an area with stronger signals/reception) and send it back if it doesn't work. Good Luck!

i bought this product 6 months ago and use it inside on a single family home and if you have a TV with coaxial inputs then you may use this in any home. i put it in my window and get all local channels in clear reception. if you go to http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/dtvmaps/ and put in your zip code it will pull up all your local channels and advise signal strength.

depends on where you live and where the antenna is placed. in the back of my house I get about 15 channels, in the front I get about 8. http://www.antennaweb.org go to this website and type in your zip code. My Mohu gets more channels that the off brand, it's a great antenna, just avoid the refurbished ones.

There are many more factors to consider. How far do you live from the station transmitters? What is the topography of your area? Where will you place the antenna inside your residence?The antenna will receive the signals that are available to it. It's up to you to place the antenna where the signals are best. Buy it and try it. If it doesn't work you can return it and try something else.

No. Only local channels. Please make sure you have the antenna near a window or you will get a stutter in your incoming signal.

We live in a large metro area. At least one of the channels comes in from about 40 miles away but I believe the others are closer. We also live in Ia rather low lying area so that matters, too. This one brings all area channels in well. On another set, I actually used a splitter to join the power of two lesser antenna with happy results as well. Just a guess on my part brought success.

I don't know what it will pick up, up there. You will need to get an inline booster. My channel 7.1 through 7.4 comes in good all the time. My channel 21.1 through 21.4 don't come in to good all the time, at night better. But I did not get any channel 21 before. I think I probably get couple other channels that I don't watch. I went on another site to see what channels, antennas would be out there, and how far away they are. And then pointed my antenna in that direction. Had to play with the ears, and antenna direction to get to work better. I hope this will help you make up your mind. I have not done anything to my antenna, but I have been thinking about screwing a bigger base on it.

at best you'd get the local channels by plugging in a split coaxial cable without the cable-box to decode... if they are not encrypted.alternatively you can run a coaxial cable to a standard antenna (preferably external, but some internal rabbit-ears will do) to get local stations in HD over-the-air. fyi.. if you can receive them, over-the-air channels are actually of HIGHER quality than signals "passed through" by cable companies (who compress their signals)

There are 16 transmitters within 60 miles of my house. I get about 7 channels. Only 5 sometimes. I would guess no, but I can't say for sure. The big different between this and "rabbit ears" is that, if you don't get a strong enough signal, you just won't get anything. With rabbit ears, you'll get some fuzziness and an inconsistent picture.
