which end of the antenna would point towards broadcast antenna??

The best approach is to rotate the antenna in steps of a few degrees at a time, while connected to a TV, until the strongest signal is located. This method will automatically answer your question

the part that looks like an alligator mouth. With a long pointy tongue. That is your directional VHF.

You connect it to the antenna as close as possible. Mine is at the bottom of the antenna mast.

the antenna screws onto the base. I don't think the screw comes out of the base, but i could be wrong. A call to a body shop might be a good place to start?

Go to www.xm-radio-satellite.com and purchase a Sirius XM Radio Universal Antenna Extension. They have several different lengths.

First you may not have a good ground. If you do then I would move the antenna mast up or down about 1/4 inch and then re-try. If worse then go the other way......

I agree. Look at the Firestiks or Wilson antennas if you want to thread mount it. I posted a pic of the antenna disconnected from the magnetic base if you decide to go this route.

This is a directional antenna. you need to point it in the direction where you want to get the signal. This is regardless if in the attic or on top of the roof.

One end is slightly tapered, so fits snuggly into the next piece. However, for extra piece of mind, I inserted a small self-tapping metal screw through the 2 pieces where they meet. This will also prevent the antenna twisting out of alignment.

If you are looking at the component side of the receiver with the pins to the bottom right then the bottom left hole near the air core inductor (wire coil) is the hookup location for the antenna. The transmitter is more apparent, it's the larger hole and gold plated in the corner.

simple way. drill hole large enough to fit threaded bottom of antenna. fit in hole. thread nut on bottom. tighten nut. antenna will unt on top of location or side and will be able to turn on 90 degree angel. good luck.

I have the mast pointed to our local antenna array here, but I've read reviews of folks mounting the antenna to an actuator that rotates it based on what channel you want to watch.That being said, because this thing is so large and the design, if you mount it high enough, I'm assuming it will pick up signals all around it- it's not likely to be significantly better or worse depending on which way it is facing, it's more about how high it's mounted and how many obstructions are in the way or how much interference is in your area.

I am sorry, I cannot answer your question. Because this antenna an myself were not meshing together. It has a coaxial for hooking an outside antenna to it. I can tell you that much.

There are websites that will tell you the location of the nearest broadcast towers and the recommended antenna type. Just search for antenna position. I used this in the suburban Miami area, about 25 miles from the main towers with very very good results.

Go to antennapoint.com enter zip code/address, and you will see where your TV station antenna are located. The Antenna must be pointed in that direction. It does not have to be as accurate as a satellite dish, but it must be within 5-10deg for solid reception.I have mine mounted in my attic, about ~32miles away from the transmitter, and never lose quality. This is a large unsightly antenna, so mounting inside on a wall is not feasible.

I don't know because I got rid of my boxes. But I have two that look like this one mounted,: one facing south, and one facing north allowing me to receive all channels available in our area. Great reception..saving thousands of dollars by not having "subscription tv service" over the eight years we have had them

Myself just removed the over the air antenna and used extincting hole. Hope this helps

Yeah, you're correct that's not the antenna I have, mine has three mounting points not like pictured
