My TV only has a USB port for service. Can this port be used to power the antenna?

From the manual "If setting up the FlatWaveAmped antenna, connectthe mini coax cable to the"Antenna In" port as shownabove. Plug the mini USBinto the "USB PWR" portof the amplifier. Then,plug the regular USB intothe USB port of the TV orof the 110V adapter. Ifplugging the USB into the110V adapter, then plugthe 110V adapter into a110V outlet". So give it a try and it will likely work fine. Your antenna or TV WILL NOT have any risk of damage.

I have the same USB port that says it is for service. Also wonder if it will power the amplifier. Did it work for you, or didn't you try it?

This antenna can be powered by AC or USB, so I would say yes, your USB port can power this antenna.

Yes, I am highly confident it will work. However, the distance that the antenna can be from the TV will be limited to how long your USE cable is. But you can plug it into an outlet also.

I only have one usb port on mine. It is powered with the power switch, goes on and off with the TV.

No. I think the USB port on most TV's only allow firmware updates to be performed, not video to be streamed. Call or email StarTech: www.startech.com/Tel: 1-800-265-1844 to verify.

I don't know for sure, but I would expect so, if the USB receptacle on the TV is USB 3.

If there is a place on the back of your TV specifically for a camera connecting to a USB port...it will work!

I only got it to work with a computer, it didn't work when attached to a blue ray player. I don't know about a TV with a USB port (mine doesn't have any), you might want to ask the seller directly.

You can hook this directly to the modem. However, if you still do not get the signal strength needed, you may need an amplifier. The antenna itself is not powered.

Probably if there is a usb port and if the tv has internet connection. I went through my Samsung blueray. Hope I helped. Can't tell you for sure though. Sorry.

There is no power source. This is just an antenna. It connects to the tv via a coax port.

What kind of converter box? As far as I know, there is no way to connect this TV to a regular antenna.

I would say no or it depends. My TV this would not work because it would not recognize this device. My USB port on my tv is mean for reading a USB jump drive with pictures and video and such and is not meant for audio transmission. However yours might. The TV manual may help determining this. But I can't say I even tried to do this, but I'll confirm what I think is true for my situation.

Good question! I just looked at mine and there is no USB port so I doubt it.............I have the 55" Vizio LCD flat screen so I just run my iphone thru the TV................

If you don't receive a power connector, you can use the EDA-PS on this website:http://www.cabletvamps.com/accessories.htm

If your TV has a USB port, the antenna is powered by it. No other power source is needed.

The list of supported USB hardware for your specific TV would likely be located at the TV manufacturer's web site. It would be a very short list most likely and I would not expect this to be on it.

There is no USB cable for this. It is just an antenna that connects to an F-Type antenna connector on a TV or other device.

No and the reason is that it is Self-Powered. Which means it receives power from the computer via USB. If it was power by AC then yes and only if your TV supports it via USB or HDMI. Make sure that your connections are matched. Remember apples and oranges do not mix. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
