Can I run this to my old cable box outside my house that splits and is wired to all my rooms in my house so all TVs will have reception? Also, is there a way to bolt it to the side of my house? I have a flat roof with parapets and no overhang and don't...

Sure, but remember that each split reduces the signal you might need a preamp or amp to overcome the distribution loss. A mast and eave mount brackets and RG6U cable and a roll of electrical tape to tape the cable to the mast

To be honest I think you will have to try it or call the company about your location. By the way, I am happy with the product, I install in the attic of my house run coax cable to both of my TV.

It says on a table but I had a really hard time. I put it in the top of a closet and got most of the channels in my area. The best reception I got was on the roof but it says to put it under the overhang Yet when you move it there it doesn't get as many channels it's now on top of the grandfather clock and still gets spotty reception I would go for a roof antenna instead but that's just in my area I live in Louisville KY. If the signals are stronger where you are you might not have a problem. Just be prepared to spend a day searching the house for a place that gets signal.

Yes I did. I have cable from antenna going directly to a splitter in my house that is grounded from my electrical service. A an electrician for 18 years it is a good practice to do. It doesn't transmit voltage like cable from the street does but I would recommend it. It an also clear up unwanted interference. Still using with almost 50 crystal clear channels. Hope this helps.

Yes. I have mine attached to a leaf antenna which is in the upstairs master bedroom. I have the signal direct into the channel master and then split to the master bedroom tv and the lower level tv. With the channel master, I gained only 1-2 additional channels. However, the signal for all the channels I got prior are solid. No more spotty reception. I will add that I am in an apartment community. Therefore, an outdoor antenna was not an option.

I have mine with THREE (3) ports active--the last "open" port is covered in the 50 ohm pin (ALA RADIO SHACK), if pin not used you will lose signal tot he working ones. I get from 5-6 DB added, and this gets the signal to all the room TVS. DO NOT push the distance--MAX is 75 feet, then you need another power booster, or you just get 2-4 db increase. NOTE-- you do not get more TV signals--but you get more power (db = decibels) to the signal conning into the house. Call your TV cable service--if your cable outside is not in good shape--you lose lots of db ( I lost 9 db die to a tear). They put in a NEW CABLE--and WOW, more signal, less snow--added my booster--snow went away.

I don't know the technical answers to these questions. I can only tell you that we hooked up our antennae through our old cable box and split it to two different rooms on two different floors, and it works fine. Also, the aerial is pretty large. Hard to picture this on the side of a house. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I don't have cable tv, so I really don't know what kind of connection is needed for a cable box, so I can't answer the question -- sorry!

I had cable installed for TV previously and connected three locations: A) upstairs loftB) upstairs Master BedroomC) and first floor family room.They ran back demarc on the outside of the house approximatly 25 to 50 meters for each leg.

I just ran an RG-59U cable from the antenna to the TV. For this arrangement you MUST have a digital TV and most of the new flat screen TVs are digital. If you have an old CRT TV, one of the old very large and heavy TVs, you must install a converter box between the TV and the antenna. I find that with the antenna I get CBS, ABC, and PBS as well as when I had cable. For awhile NBC came in clear and then it quit. I have tried to contact the broadcasting station several times to ask if they quit broadcasting but they do not answer or return calls. The antenna works well for me.

I believe one option is to mount in attic. I am not sure what impact this will have on performance but was option on the website if I remember. I mounted mine outside and it works great on channels I receive.

First question, why would you want to split the signal from your box in that way? It would be better to run it direct from the box to the amp (i'm assuming its a receiver) to the tv so you are always using the speakers you paid for.Secondly, I have mine splitting my cable box (DISH) signal to my Xbox One and my Receiver (to take advantage of the Xbox one's "watch tv" functionality but still have the flexibility to use only the TV/receiver combo). I have had no problems with video or audio issues. This should do just what you need it to.

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.

It matters where the towers are. I got many more channels after I installed this antenna. It's not cable television but it beats paying all that money for "nothing being on tv." You may have to adjust where you hang it for certain channels but I'd rather make an adjustment instead of paying over $100 for shows they play over and over again. I installed it on my Uncle's tv and for a 99 yr old man, he's happy with it. Hope this helped someone.

It depends on many things like how strong is your incoming signal, where in the house you place your indoor antenna, how many walls between that spot and where you use your devices. My house is similar to yours and I only get one level of reception and at times it will flash to the second level. I took my outdoor antenna apart and it's just two pieces of bent aluminum (cheap). You can upgrade that or put a splitter on your indoor cable end and run an antenna to several places.

the one that comes with it is junk and is only 6 feet....any cable will work....the best thing to do is to go to you old cable box and back feed the wiring thats already in the house...i gotten a house with 6 tv's up and running this way without running one new wire!!! antenna is GREAT when you get it aimed right....moving it a inch in ether direction can make a station come in or not be there at all....make sure its over the roof line unless you know all the tv stations are in one direction...if you go to tvfool.com and type in your address is will show you where EVERY tv station is relitive to where you are so you know where to aim the antenna...also this one is NOT good if the station are over 45 miles

You will need to run COAxial cable, from the antenna to the television. You can use splitters to send it to several televisions. We have 7 televisions attached from basement and 2 floors of our home. All get great reception. There is a wireless remote to control direction of the antenna. We get at least 20 stations with the directional control in one position. Once in a while a small tweek is needed to receive some outlying stations.
