would it work with a portable analog TV down in south america?..... how much power in Db does it gain?

Unfortunately, I can't help with whether it would work in South America. I have used it sparingly since I got a regular TV antenna.

Yes it will work with old analog systems for the US. The unit outputs both RF channel 3 or 4 as wellas analog composite NTSC

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.

UPDATE...Forgot to tell you: Take a look at "August DTA240 High Gain Digital TV Aerial - Portable Indoor/Outdoor Digital Antenna for USB TV Tuner / ATSC Television / DAB Radio - With Magnetic Base" much better!!!! I'm using this now instead of the DTA220 on the USB PCTV adapter.

You would lose at least 3 dB or half the power if split in two plus the loss through the splitter - likely 4.5 dB total. Also, Noise figure may increase. That is a significant loss of power. Depending on how good your reception is, it is worth a try, but you may need another low noise amp or simply another antenna for the second TV.

keep looking, you just need a uhf amplifier, find one at radio shack. or even a old tv vhf,uhf amplifier,thats built in antena...

Just like with my portable digital TV, I suppose it should work as good o better being a simple FM radio signal is not as cluttered with information. The key is finding the correct adapter to connect. We watch TV at the beach 60 miles from the station, whose to say you cannot increase your FM Ange to 200 miles with this antenna.

Absolutely John. I have used it in Germany, Australia and Japan without issues. (Don't forget to adjust the Hertz from 60 to 50 if need be for the TV. The power supply auto adjusts.) Greg

It will not work with a standard antena. Must have a dish. Amazon sells a digital converter (HomeWorks), that works pretty well with local digital signals.

I never tried it, but I doubt it. Tv's suck a lot of power. If you got it to work for an hour or two I'd be surprised. This is on of the least powerful of their battery products.

If your TV has a built-in tuner to receive digital broadcasts, the antenna should work. If your TV does not have a digital tuner, you will almost definitely get nothing. Digital capability is also know as ATSC. Old analog-only "cable ready" sets did not have ATSC tuners. In the U.S., there are some cities that have a few low-power analog channels still being broadcast, but that is rare and all the major channels are only broadcast digitally now.

As long as the TV requires 12V of DC electricity input, and no more than 4A of current...and assuming the plug is the correct size, it will work. There should be a sticker on the back of the TV that tells you what voltage and current it needs. The plug size is pretty typical, so chances are good that it will work.

probably yes but there could be impedence matching problems, like humming & buzzing. The pre-amp has a gain control, your TV probably does not

Good afternoon, friend. No need to buy anything else. In my case, here in Brazil, I only had to buy to connect the AUX input. a receiver for digital TV.

It should work for old type analog TV's since the info says VHF channels 2-13 and UHF channels 14-69. That's what all TV's were designed for as long as you used the tuner built in to the TV. The info is listed as: *Amplified indoor HDTV antenna engineered to receive VHF channels 2-13 and UHF channels 14-69 *Optimized to receive all HDTV channels for free local high-definition entertainment with a compatible TV or TV/receiver *Boost weak signals-dual-drive amplifier ensures clear reception of both distant and close HDTV and DTV stations *High-gain antenna array can be oriented horizontally or vertically for optimum reception *Appealing design with small footprint; easy to install-supplied cable carries video and power
