Stations are NE and SE of me. Don't want to mess with a rotator. Could I mount two in an attic, 1 each facing NE and SE and combine signal?

Antennas Direct says that this antenna has a very wide angle of reception. Use antennaweb.org or similar web site to get distance from stations and their map coordinates. You didn't indicate how far away the stations are, but assuming they are within the reception distance of the antenna, I would first aim the C2-V-CJM antenna at the closest station and scan for channels to make sure the antenna works. Then aim at station furthest away if different direction. If that channel comes in, aim the antenna midway between the two outermost stations and rescan the channels to see if one antenna will do the job.

i went on line and checked out where the H.D. signals were coming from. N. , S., E,. and W. this antenna picks them all up, standing still!! We are impressed!!

I dont see any reason why that wouldn't work, as long as you combine the signal before you have the tv scan all the available frequency's its seeing. Get a good quality pre amp and Make sure you get a good tight coax connection to the back of the tv and you should be well on your way to free tv!

I really have no idea. I'd probably mount one first to see what I pull in before investing in a second one. Good luck

I have been told that a second inside antenna is a waste of money and will not increase signal. I tried it. It has been suggested that raising the outside antenna is best, and have it pointing to the nearest tower.

I'm sure you could, but I don't think you should have to. A single coax cable would go into the attic to connect to the antenna/amplifier. In the bedroom, you could connect the power splitter to the coax. One coax from the splitter would connect to a power outlet, in the bedroom. The other coax from the splitter would connect to the back of the TV/Tuner, again in the bedroom.My setup has the antenna/amplifier in the attic, and the power for the amplifier is plugged in the basement.

You might want to investigate the Holland uvsj vhf / UHF combiner separator. These provide isolation between the antennas systems. Read the pdf on their web site.

I never installed mine but on the roof is the best and I have had success with all sorts of antennas mounted in attics. Assume all necessary pieces are there for either 300ohm or 75ohm connections providing your receiver is so equipped.

An answer is complicated. In part it depends on the house, is it long and narrow or square. It also depends on construction, does it have plaster on metal lath, foil backed drywall, aluminum siding? Is it frame or block or brick for any interior walls? Dose the lower level have a suspended ceiling with foil backed panels? If the answer to any of these is yes then you should probably get an application engineer to review your application, or you can just install it and go from there. When placing one or more antennas think about how many walls or floors the signal will pass through, because every one will lower signal strength. Also, find out how strong the signal is outdoors, because you have to have a reasonable signal level in order for the amplifier to work at all.

Yes, mine is in the attic. Beware, the antenna is very large. You will also need to point the antenna in a particular direction (towards the towers) for best reception. I would recommend measuring beforehand to prevent any surprises!

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.

You will get up to the zone the antenna is listed for depending on where you have it aimed. If you are pointed north you will not get south,east or west stations etc.Find the station towers you want first then buy the proper zone antenna and a rotatory unit if needed.

They recommend pointing towards the towers. I have had it in different positions and did a channel scan and did not notice a difference. I have noticed the higher it is placed the better. I get 47 channels on the main level of my house and 74 channels on the upper level. I'm going to put it in my attic.

yes. I have done it once but if you hook two Antennas together you will have signal booster with two outputs.

Yes I have a VHF antenna and UHF and combine them. If it is a UHF/VHF combo + another UHF/VHF combos idk. Should work fine though, can't see it not. Pretty simple device.

That would work; just put them all on the same channel. Wonderful reception and ease of use. Bob

Yes. I mounted it in the attic and it works well. Our local stations' transmitters are pretty closely clustered and about 35 miles away (in Raleigh). I recommend the use of a compass (phone app works) and zip ties to get the antenna pointed just right.

There is more to it than just joining the two antenna using a splitter in reverse.They are indeed canceling each other out. You would need to research the frequency the stations you are trying to receive and install appropriate notch filters for each in theory. Your A/B switch is probably more cost effective and simple solution.

The antenna will work "receive signals" any place, IMHO the higher its mounted the better, in attic, 2nd floor ok depends on distance from station and signal strength.If you have metal roof or siding then it probably won't work as well, RF does not penetrate metal.

We are getting stations in the red and blue zone, plus one that does not show up as one that we should be able to receive. We have the antenna mounted on the chimney of a 2 story house and live in a hilly area. Have to adjust direction when it was mounted. Has been working well.
