I notice this is an analog connection, is there a drop in reception if you turn away from the transmitter, does it have to be seperated from the TV?

So long as the receiver can see the transmitter these work very well. I am not sure about the second part of your question.

You do have to be in a line of sight with the transmitter but they work so well I seldom notice any problem with reception.

Each time you 'split' a signal there will be some loss of quality. With that being said, you could pick up a splitter at radio shack (one in and 3 out) and 3 coax cables and try it. My suggestion would be that since the location and direction of these antenna is very important you should consider at least 2 antenna, splitting off of the one (1 in and 2 out) with the best location and signal and have one antenna that you don't split, perhaps to your most watched TV.

If you haven't already, get the splitter & cables. You've described exactly why the TV does nothing when you turn off the VX530. The satellite output is going to the VX530 input which then goes out to the tv. That's the order the feed is going. It's kinda like a bridge. You've got an end, the bridge, & the other end. You can't get from one end to the other without the bridge. Put the splitter on the output from the satellite box & you should be all set. Hope this helps.

1)This device is nothing more than a infra-red amplifier. It receives the signal from the remote control on the large head, amplify it, and transmit it out again on the transmitter LED on the small head. The large head (receiver) should be placed facing the TV room, the small head(transmitter) should be glued to the receiving area of the device you want to control/improve reception. Look for an indication on the front of the device saying "IR" or "IR receiver" or an area with a red/purple acrylic cover. Stick the small head right on it. 2)It doesn't need to attached to your tv. It doesn't need to attached to anything other than a USB power supply (wall adapter provided) or any USB port for that matter. If your TV has a USB port, you can use it instead. 3)Your TV remote, or any other device's remote will work as usual. The device you attached the small head to will improve reception, as expected.

It's ironic but it gonna work a little better without the antenna, since you don't have a millions radio signal in the same frequency, the static noise gonna be less! But anyway I don't recommend you this device it has a really poor cuality! Look for another one!

The analog Co-axil port on my TV is not broken...the TV works just fine. I currently have an antenna and just need to boost the signal. The signal boost I purchased does not work, but is receiving power from the outlet, but the booster itself does not work. I know this because I tested the power cord send with the amplifier with a mutlimeter. I would prefer to have another amplifier sent, not an antenna and I do not want to convert to HDMI because my TV has no available HDMI ports left.

Yes. I have 2 CRT type TV's hooked up to the receivers in other rooms. They are 20 and 30 feet away from the transmitter.

No. its a passive splitter. The only way it will work is if you unplug the tv you aren't using. You need to get an active splitter (one that you have to plug in and gets power) in order to do what I think you want to do. At least that was my experience.

I currently use this between my HDTV in the living room and a a first gen LCD TV that I can move between rooms. It works in all locations (upstairs bedrooms, kitchen, garage, etc). I do sometimes lose signal on the back deck (transmitter is located in the living room at the front wall of the house and deck is one level down at rear of house so this is longer range. Within the house there are times when signal interferance occurs. This can usually be fixed by moving the transmitter or reciever slightly. Overall the signal quality is good enough for my needs (old LCD TV with small screen) not sure if it would provide an adequate HD driver for a large LCD TV.

The TV Antenna Amplifier probably is as important as the antenna. I have used the antenna without the amplifier and get good reception, but when I connect the amplifier the reception is great.

There are power wires for both the speaker and the transmitter. The transmitter also has a wire connected to the tv speaker output jack. So as long as you have an outlet near both devices you should be good

The on/off switch does just that. When its engaged it overrides the station you picked it to and plays what ever is connected to it through that station. When off that station is back to normal. Very few stations use the preset channels on the device however. If you don't turn it off you will likely have static on other stations due to the units power capabilities

The Antenna will still work, there is no difference between a digital and Analog antenna, but you will still need a digital tuner, either built into you tv, or a seperate convertor box.

I ran an optical cable out of my TV to an SPDIF Toslink splitter(HD optical splitter) then ran one cable to my surround sound and one to the TV ears. Whatever is being watched us transmitted to the radio. I put the radio next to my seat and it works as advertised.

You should be able to hide/mount device. The round "ears" do flip up and that is how the reception is sent and received. I have mine sitting on the wall mount arm behind a 19inch flat screen so it cannot be seen. It works great and its upstairs while the transmitter is downstairs. The ears rotate, raise and lower to gain optimal reception.

Two answers: Based upon your post, I assume you inquire about OTA (off the air). 1. Unless you use an external antenna, antenna orientation is very important. The little telescopic antenna with the radio frequency circuitry behind it might not be enough for where it is placed. Try moving location for better reception as broadcasts are on UHF TV. 2. Proper programming is very important. I have found programmed channels I know I can receive sometimes do not work. Go through the menu, delete channel 7-1, enter in manual tune and check for signal stregnth. You can in portability walk about the home to see where reception is best, When decent signal is received, use 'quick add.' Most of the inexpensive LCD sets are designed for ATSC digital reception which uses MPG-3 technology which for most is far better than old NTSC analogue. Just because station advertises HD does not mean your set is receiving HD. I suggest going to TV Fool.com for further information and obtaining a reception map based upon your zip code.

Mine work perfectly fine without an antenna at shorter distances. The Tx on the ones I have have not burned out.
