Window is about 5 feet from TV. Will the cord have to trail on the floor from the tv to the window?

You can try to get a good enough signal by keeping it by the tv which is possible if you're right in the city on a top floor of a building. If that works, great! But if it doesn't, you'll need to put it by the window and trail the cord. Luckily, the cord should be long enough. Mine is about 4 feet away and I have the cord going up to the ceiling and then down to the window so we're not walking over it.

The cord is long but it is easy to shorten with a piece of tape or twist tie.

Mine is on the window about seven feet from the TV. I trail it on the floor. Could use hooks or picture frame brackets to get it off the floor.

Mine has worked fine with just keeping it behind my TV. Like everyone has said, the cord is very long so its just a matter of trial and error of where the antenna works best for you with the best signal!

The cord has to remain attached to the tv. However I have my antenna placed on top of the bookcase next to the tv. It works fine. It can also be attached to the wall behind the tv. YOu will have to experiment with placement, but you don't have to mount the antenna outdoors for it to receive signals.

The cord is about 15 feet long. I have it hanging down the wall behind my TV cabinet. My window is farther than 5 feet so the cord doesn't touch the floor. You may have to tape it a bit onto the wall. I have also put it right on the wall and flat on its face in the fireplace mantel and gotten good reception.

Yes, however, I have had great luck with the antenna just velcroed to the wall behind the tv or dresser, you may not need to reach the window for good reception.

The cord length is pretty long, and you can always couple it to additional coaxial cable if you need to. Depending on where you are, and your signal strength, you might not need to have it right in the window ( although that is advisable ). From there you can maneuver the cord to wherever you would like it to be, like running alongside a baseboard, or trailing under carpet to your tv.

Thanks Marcus. One more question. How long is the wire for the sensor. I ask because my components are about 5 feet away from the TV. Would this be a problem?

Mostly in the window. It works better if the pre-amplifier is away from any interference i.e. away from TV and other electronics. I recommend to use a 6 to 8 feet coax cable between the pre-amp and the TV in order to stay away from interference . In my case doing so, it works very well.

Yes. It is amped, so it should also be plugged into an outlet. It is a long cord, but if your tv is far from a window, it can be conspicuous. However, it is powerful enough to get a good signal even away from the window. My tv is in my basement in my office/bedroom with a fuse box, so my previous antenna wouldn't get a signal regardless of placement. This antenna gets 10 by the tv, or across the room by the window, 20-30 based on the time of day. But, yes, there is a cord, but it is very long if needed. I have found that I just take it down when not in use so I don't see the cord all of the time. I don't think there is a wireless alternative, or if there is, its possible efficacy.

No. I would not worry about it. I would look for some additional clamps for the wire though. Tip...make sure to keep the wire short and it will help the TV stay closer to the wall.

It depends you will need a speaker bracket. A speaker adapter. Because the window could hit it.

Raymond, my cords aren't long enough to totally collapses it but it appears it would be about 1.5 inches from wall to back of tv. It lays pretty flat

I'd say about 5 feet. From the unit to the wall plug is about another 5 feet.

Cord is about 12 inches long at most. I did not measure it but I had to put the control box on the floor as well. There was not enough cord to reach the wall to mount it. Will probably make a mount for it to get it off the floor.

cord is about 3 feet long - I needed an extension cord to reach the outlet closest to my window.

Yes, you will have to align the shelf that the cable box is on so you can see it thru the glass window.

I suppose you can put it as far away as the wire will support. It does need to be plugged into the TV.

The cord isn't quite that long unless u plan on sitting your tablet alongside the TV. It's about. 6inhches long at most

I have the antenna in the bedroom away from the windows and it works ok. Sometime I have to move it around a bit.

Without taking it down to measure it, I would guess the cord or cable is at least 15 feet. Swags from the center of my medium size room, over to the wall and down the wall to the electric outlet. Looks good!

The cord is very, very short. Probably no more than a foot if that. So you need to hang it where you have an outlet right there or you'll need an extension cord.

Not to far. The cable is not that long. Plus it needs to closer to the TV for better reception.
