Does this antenna have to be mounted on a window or can it be mounted on a wall for better directional sighting

It works best if mounted on a window. That said, it doesn't look very good on the nearest window, so we attached it to the end of a bookcase so it faces a window. That way, it can't be seen from most angles. We don't receive a few channels this way vs. when we tried the window mount, but are willing to settle for the many that we do receive. I would recommend that you try it in several places before deciding where to leave it. I wish they had molded a loop into the top of it, so that all you would need is a few hooks mounted here and there to move as needed to get a specific channel.

It can go anywhere. Wall, window, or door. I even tried it in a corner curved, to see if it "catch" better signals. Have had mine for about 6 months. The only complaint is when the weather is bad it cuts in and out on the stations that have weaker signals.

Mine is mounted on a wall and works very well in that position. Very pleased with the performance of this antenna.

The outside antenna is mounted to the glass by an adhesive tape. it does hold very strong. Yes, an outside antenna will work a lot better. My midland wouldn't pick up a signal because we live in a rural, mountainous area. Now my signal comes in loud and clear, giving me great peace of mind and free time so I don't have to hang around the TV waiting for local weather reports.

It says "Glass Mount" so it does mount to the window with an adhesive. The antenna works okay but your better off with a magnet mount and running co-ox in over the signal having to travel through glass.

Although made for thru window application, this unit can be mounted thru the wall. Plus, it's an awesome unit, we are very happy with ours

Sorry I was so long getting an answer but the person I gave it to I just saw today. Yes it has two different mounting options (two sided tape; which I wouldn't use or suction cups; which really work. Hope you like this radar it sure was worth the money.

A directional external antenna mounted outdoors away from trees and obstructions would help if you are trying to receive Denver stations. I would avoid purchasing an external amplifier for the antenna, as it would likely only increase noise. You probably want your radio placed near a window as well. Knowing approximately how powerful the individual stations you are trying to pick up would be helpful, as it would give you an idea of how much work you have ahead of you.

I have mine mounted on the side of the gunwall and it ratchets back toward the transom. You can adjust the antenna for Horziontal or Vertical mounting with the bottom bolt.

It has a mounting bracket that works best on a piece of pvc plastic/galvanized pipe or something similar. u want to mount it facing the host router and adjust angles for best performance either outdoors or in a window facing the window with the router in optical/visual sight of the antenna, i've found it works well in both applications if distance is within reason. On an exterior wall is good too as long as you can see the host and make appropriate adjustments (left right up down), but it has no wall mount bracket per say, you will need to be a bit creative to manage that. good luck

It can be positioned anywhere. I have one wedged vertically behind the TV and another laying horizontally on top of an upper kitchen cabinet. Both work well without a window. You simply need to use a 'trial & error' approach to get the best reception.

It is not designed to mount to a flat (vertical) window, although the suction cups may hold it there. The metal housing is designed for it to sit on the dash and the suction cups to hold it in place to a windshield.

Yes, the TV has to be next to the window. However, the antenna was pretty useless because it didn't bring up a single channel.

If the unit currently isn't near a window, the external device will help. I have used the external antenna in two locations -- one with the antenna right at the window, and the second with the antenna outside mounted on the side of the building. Both situations were resolved with the external antenna.

It does not require a wall mounting. Unfortunately the mounting bracket that is provided is very cheaply made and I had to fabricate some tweaks to it to get the proper viewing angle.

It is glued to the outside of the window with a self adhesive already applied to the antenna mount...the inside portion is glued the same way...the advantage is no drilling holes, and it does work well. I installed it on my RV and went from only static to very clear reception...

might be able to get a signal if your facing south and can point the antenna out the window

The antenna needs to be placed high next to a window. Make sure that all connections are snuggly tight.

I have mine in the attic because of zoning ( no outside roof antennas ). Regardless of the name, it is a little directional. I can get all the stations south of me (15 miles) or all the stations north of me ( 40 miles ) but not both. So mounted it on an antenna rotor, works great. Been using it since they all went digital and no cable bill.
