does this product require splicing into outside antenna cable before entering attic and attaching to amp?

Attach to cable bringing in signal, connect power adapter to plug, and attach up to 4 TVs.

Where the amp is inserted into the cable both ends of the cable require connectors. So,yes. However, amp can be placed at the TV itself. Remove TV Antenna cable from TV, attach amp to that and get a small piece of cable with connectors on ends and attach from box to TV. If you need more info let me know.

Just make sure the pre-amp is on the Antenna side before it goes to the splitter.

It doesn't matter. I have a BD4e UHF antenna in attic and a Denny's Stacker UHF/VHF on an outside mast with rotor. Both have Winegard LNA 200 preamps. After the preamps, there are two 1' cables to the antenna coupler and then 1' cable to the powered splitter (2-Port Bi-Directional Cable TV HDTV Amplifier Splitter Signal Booster with Passive Return Path) that then connects to the two coax cables running to the 2 TVs. We are in the middle of a hilly woods and all this is necessary to pull the stations from about 40 miles away.

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. 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.

Yes, there is a metal core in the cable housing so you will need a cut off tool or a hacksaw.

ahhh ... yes, there is a little screw on antenna ... probably what the other person said, BCN. I went with the antenna in my attic

Not that I'm aware of as the unit only comes with an existing lead for relatively short distances, i.e. to a window. For a more permanent installation Wilson offers several powerful amplifiers and these units are capable of being connected to outside/roof top or other antennas with long heavy duty coaxial cable. Just be prepared to spend significantly more money, which I have done also, and also expect significantly improved power and reception.

Yes, you strip some of the speaker wire and insert it through the middle of this banana plug. You need to be careful not to have stripped too much or it could contact something else and short out (or damage the equipment). Your receiver or amplifier needs to have female banana plug style connectors to plug into.

Yes. We've been using this antenna for a couple years now and are very pleased with it. Mounted it in the attic and it works good.

It will work both ways. But to get the best possible signal the amp should be connected right at the antenna. There should be a short cord (2 feet maybe) running from the antenna to the amp, and then the long cord running into the house and into the power inserter (sold separately), then the splitter or another amp. This will keep the signal noise free as possible. The power inserter will save you from running another long cord from an outlet to the amp outside.

Hi Peter, the antenna comes complete, you do have to assemble it, not a big job, all hardware is included and the instruction are clear. In my case I had to do this in the attic because the oppening is not big enough to pass a fully assemble antenna trough it. The Channell Master CM-7777 preamp was bought separatly here in montreal. My height above ground is only 16' and about 33' above sea level. Hope this answer your question, feel free to contact me again if you wish. Cheers Roy

No, you will need to supply your own cable to connect to your amp or receiver, either coaxial or toslink.

Yes, a splitter placed downstream from the amplifier does work. Keep in mind that you want to connect the amplifier as close to the antenna as possible or it really does not work. As a matter of fact if you do not power the amplifier with this unit you will barely get any stations. I get about 3 without the amp and 68 with it! I am mounted indoors but at the peak of my attic on a 1 story. Therefore if you loose power to the amp you will not be happy. I have to contact the company to see if this result is normal. I hate to be dependent on a tiny amp and power supply. I think the amp does more than the antenna. I tried it with a cheap flat rca ANT 1400 $17 from amazon and it really helped that as well The RCA got about 30 stations without the amp and about 45 with it. I did see a drop in signal when adding a second TV but not terrible. I would advise you to get a really good quality splitter with contacts which wont corrode. A bit more pricey but it should not oxidize like the cheap ones will. Also use the shortest cables which will work for you application.

Yes, but drilled hole on new antenna was off hole on radio, so had to remove sm. part on radio to accommodate new atenna. Keep all old parts for any adaptation needed...

This may seem a bit confusing but....... The Signal Cable that is attached to the antenna (mine is mounted on the roof) and the other end of the cable gets connected to a small signal amplifier that can then send the amplified signal to a single connection or be split into multiple connections. This allows you to place the small amplifier wherever you want and it can be connected to AC power at that location.

Yes, I spliced into my car stereo. It's pretty easy as long as you know which one is the hot wire.

I am using it outdoors. I sealed the connector at the antenna with coax seal and have not had a problem
