I don't have cable TV and want to know if I can use this on the coaxial cable from the antenna. Where should it be connected?

Yes, this can be used with your antenna. That's how mine is used. It should be connected between the antenna lead and the cable leading into your house. Mount it securely to the outside of your house (2 screws do the trick)...I mounted mine to the soffitt, then run a copper wire (about 8 or 10 guage) down to a grounding rod ( I drilled a hole through a 10" galvanized spike and used that as my ground rod, you could also use a short section of rebar). You are then good to go.

Yes, you can use it.Connect it outdoors before the cable enters the house. A ground wire must be attached from the screw in the picture to the ground rod located near your electrical power meter.

Lydia, years ago I used an older TiVo that I connected to our antenna with a coax cable but I don't know about the newer ones. I'd recommend calling Tivo and asking. Their support response is quick and accurate in my experience. And free! 877-367-8486

it connects with a coaxial connecter. use coaxial cable (cable tv cable) you will need a male to male connector to connect the 2 ends.

Type in "coax cable" in amazon. One of the first things will be an "extension adapter" this allows you to connect the antenna to another cable. Then you just buy a coax cable of whatever length you need.

The "Yes" answers to this question conflict with responses on other questions - I think you can attach an antenna to the device and it will pick up the channels - you do NOT need cable tv or a tv - my understanding is that is the device is basically a tv receiver (without a monitor).

I have the same antenna, connected to a digital tv and it works well. Reception of course depends on the area in which you reside (if in a large city with tall buildings, reception is better on higher floors). If you have an analog tv, then it is necessary to connect the antenna with a coaxial cable at "IN" on a converter box, then connect another coaxial cable going "out" on the converter box and to the analog tv. I hope this helps answer your question.

I'm not sure what you are needing an antenna for...TV or radio. I have this unit, hooked up to our cable system that we have for our other TV. Works great on cable; I don't know if you can use it with an antenna or not. Sorry! D.Minton

Hi, the cable that comes with the antenna for attaching to your tv is 6ft long. It is very thin and likely too short for most setups so you will want to pickup a longer coax cable, especially if you are installing in an attic. Good luckJeff

Yes it works without cable TV, but don't work if you have satellite connected on the coax, also you will need the kit ( adapter on both ends)

I used the existing coax cables and installed the antenna in the same spot the satellite was. This should work fine; however, I get no channels with my antenna.

No it does not work from a standard Coax cable- THIS CABLE will not work for that ,it is some type of specialty coax hookup not for home

No. This antenna has a PL-259 connector on the end of the cable. To connect to a TV you need an F-type connector. Technically you may can find an adapter that will make it work, but you won't get a very good signal. This antenna is tuned for CB signals, not television signals.

I use a simple RCA HD antenna that has a co-axial connection to go between it and the TV. No need to connect cable to the wall outlet.

The coax connector on your TV can connect to a Comcast connection OR it can connect to this RCA antenna. I have mine located about six feet from a covered window. I have the black antenna's up, they do rotate to get the best reception. The menu on my TV has "Antenna Setup-DIGITAL" and the option for using this antenna. You will need to do an EX Setup so that your TV can scan all the channels it see's. For some reason I had to do this twice on my Sharp and Samsung (probably operator error). I tell you, crystal clear and I get about 18 channels (the ones I really wanted, and I am watching the Seahawks in beautiful digital with this antenna). Very happy and I bought two!

The antenna uses the same cable. I unhooked my DirectV cable and just hooked it up to the antenna. I added a splitter to hook up another TV.

This antenna works with any tv that has a coaxial cable input....that's how the antenna connects to the tv and the cable comes with the antenna. Make sure you order the correct length cable.

It goes in the Coax port TV, the old-school cable TV or TV antenna port, like the other answers said. Then, you have to set your TV to over-the-air or antenna in the menu, then you have to do a scan. I'm thinking if your not pulling any channels, hopefully its just because you need to run the scan.
