Hi i wad looking at your GM-MP1 carryout antenna i just wanna know if i connect a direct tv receiver to it will it work? I ask direct tv and they told

I connect a standard def Directv box to it and have no issues. Works great.

Yes it will. During setup you select the round antenna. You will not get HD or local stations.

The mp1 is not a dual head receiver so you only get either the local channels or the upper channel at one time, meaning you can only hook one satellite or the other. As my wife and I live in an RV full time, this was not what we wanted so we purchased a King Flex, which cost us about 5 times more. If you are interested we would give you a real good deal on our MP-1, I was just about ready to list it on e-bay. You can contact me by e-mal g.lind@att.net or at 970 596-4759. Hope this helps you.

Yes it will. It is a single LNB so you will not get High Def but it workd quite well. I also get local channels on mine.

You bet it works for that! I'm 40+ miles away from the DTV transmitter sites. Have a CM4228 antenna in the attic. Been using an EDA-2100 to boost the signals. Works great! In fact, I just cascaded a second amp to improve our Fox TV affiliate signal just a bit. So I have two of these amps essentially on series. No overload, and they work great in this configuration.

hey, i'm in the same prob here, looking for something to boost my weak signal for my regular tv. I don't use cable, just rabbit ears. Any sugestion which antenna is best or should i go look for booster?

Can I use this as a regular TV with the analog to digital convertor I bought in order to get my local antenna TV stations? Do I need special cables or a cable or satellite input? If this is widescreen (?) do I have to adapt (including wife's possible comments!!) to a different picture configuration that we are used to? Thanks a lot for any help and comments.

I looked at the back of the unit and the antenna connection looks like the same connection on my Pioneer receiver. However, I am only looking at a photograph of the back of your unit.

Yes it should help you get much better reception.It is set up to be used as a 300 ohm hook-up which connects to two screws on the back of your unit. It should be clearly marked.The only difference there would be is if your receiver has a 75 ohm hook-up which will look like the same connector as your cable TV hook-up which will mean that you will need an adapter that Amazon offers as a choice when you order this Antenna. It is very easy to do.good luck and enjoy.

Well, I just ordered a coaxil cable two-way splitter (listen to the techie here, lol!) The guy at Best Buy told me to somehow get the antenna hooked into the recorder/player AND the tv. He said we didn't need that channel 3. Wish me luck. I just may have something. I'll let you know! - Linda

Hi missy, your DIRECTV Receiver SHOULD have an HDMI output. If indeed it's an HD Receiver. Just connect it straight to one of your HDMI Inputs on your display. What model do you have? H20, HR21?For your onkyo, you should connect your DIRECTV straight to your surround system, using an optical or digital coaxial cable.PS3? I don' t know much about game consoles. I'll ask my brother who knows more about this than I do, and get back to you.

I used a plain old fashioned cheapie kind and it works fine. (I got it here at Amazon - an RCA that cost about 10 bucks.) No such thing as a "digital" antenna. This one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HKGK8Y/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I know, here's a suggestion. Call C Crane and ask them. They have excellent customer service and are respectful. Also consider purchasing the antenna and trying it yourself. You can always send it back and you will know within a day or two if its right for your setup. I can say that it's stronger than the previous C Crane model because that's the one I have (the gray one). Due to the circumstances it works OK because I beefed it up using reflector home made designs that increase the signal capacity so I didn't take the step up in purchasing. Anyways hope this helps and good luck.

If I understand the question, I think that if you ran the amplified antenna out (coax) to a digital converter box and then to the tv, it should all work fine. You would need a coax in to the digital converter.

HD receiver and HD subscription from Directv, does work. The real problem with most systems is the antenna is not able to be connected to a strong signal. Amplifires may help, but is only a poor substitute for a good signal.

Sorry to hear that. The RCA TVPRAP1R amplifier continues to work very well with my Radio Shack long range VHF/UHF antenna. I live on a fringe area of a large city and this amplifier makes the flaws in reception of digital TV bearable. It also increased the number of stations I get to over 40.

Hello and thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately I cannot guarantee that this item will work with an over air antenna. I am sorry and if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know. Sincerely, Chris Nickels Red Planet Trading

I have a similar situation but don't know if it will work for you. The DB8e is the most powerful antenna I found so if it doesn't work, I don't know what would. My stations are all within 10 miles of my house. Locate the antenna where it isn't blocked by trees close to the antenna.

Yes it will work fine. IF you have a signal. The problem with digital signals is that it is all or nothing. You get a perfect picture or none at all so you need a good antenna to get enough of a signal to work with.

Well, I bought one used to be able use in a completely portable fashion like your xmp3. Although the previous owner said it worked fine, mine won't receive a satellite signal. I bought another antenna, but it still won't receive the satellite signal. I want to use it at a sporting event where there is no cell phone reception so I can't use the internet cell phone app. I was thinking about the xmp3, even though it's old and expensive, but I'm not so sure after your comment. I don't know of any other completely portable units, do you?
