Will it work in a home HD antenna in the attic? My works good, not great , I like to boost the signal &amp; view the signal strength.

I tried it on my outside antenna, a Winegaard, with very little success. It may have been designed for a cable signal. To boost your signal and pull in a few more stations I purchased a "Blonder Tongue:Galaxcy III amplifier. It allows me to receive 18 stations on a clear day. To view the signal strength, I use the menu on the Samsung TV. There is a drop down menu that allows you to view the signal strength of each channel.

I mounted it inside my attic. However, I had no signal at all. Antenna manufacturer said they had no coverage on that side of Baltimore city.

Julie, that is why I installed the product. With a metal roof, I had no signal. This is supposed to extend/boost the signal. After I had mine installed, I have signal in my basement! Now there was an app " Open Signal" that I used to find where to install the antenna to get the best strength. So, I would say he didn't install it correctly. Mine works well and so does my sons and one of my clients installed his in a shop with a metal roof to get a signal. Have him come back to install properly!

Yes it does support HD, but you need an antenna specially made for HD. Also supports non-HD channels. Picture may not be as great though because HD comes in clear and regular non-HD channels come in fuzzy, which is normal, unless there's great reception. Where I'm at, I have 7 over the air non-HD channels. Once I have an HD antenna, I end up with 20 something channels including non-HD and HD channels.

Absolutely. I have mine permanently mounted in the attic with my antenna. It's been running strong for months.

I hooked mine up in my motorhome so I have a small antenna I use to boost reception...I just use it to get the local channels (no cable/satellite) wherever we camp at, and so far it has performed well at each campsite provided there are available local channels...you just have to scan for open channels which takes a short while, then you're set....

Apologies. Your question is more technical than I can answer. I just hooked the thing up and it worked (well). I run nothing more on the coax in my house than the antenna signal. I should add add that the signal strength has degraded somewhat (fewer channels) since I installed the amplifier in January, but the decrease in performance could be attributable to something other than the amp. Will investigate before winter.

Yes, this will work with any outdoor/attic antenna. With Amazon's liberal return policy you have nothing to lose by trying it. Mine has worked for 5 years now without a single/signal problem.

Antenna is an Antenna. Some work better than others and that is the only difference. There is no such thing as a HD antenna. I suggest you upgrade your TV, instead of buying a digital converter. Come out of the stone age.

I actually purchased wrong antenna, (Z Boost YX026-CEL) this did not work. Then I purchased Z Boost YX039 Dual Band Antenna and it worked. These units are in a trailer, so in a house would work much better.

There are many more factors to consider. How far do you live from the station transmitters? What is the topography of your area? Where will you place the antenna inside your residence?The antenna will receive the signals that are available to it. It's up to you to place the antenna where the signals are best. Buy it and try it. If it doesn't work you can return it and try something else.

This antenna is subject to some interference esp. if you have a lot of trees and not within 50 miles of broadcast towers. Shorter the distance the more interference it can withstand. If your in a deep valley with large mountains blocking the signal it might be trouble. It operates similar to the old style roof top antennas equal to but not better in performance. Even for HD the larger rooftop antenna are still better in tough signal areas.

I use a Mohu Leaf Paper Thin Indoor HDTV antenna which works good. It would depend on your location of course.

Absolutely,, mine works quite well, picks up the HD channels in my area,,, clear as a bell!

Not sure what model you have. The HDTVI is not omni-directional. I can tell you that you won't get as many channels without an amplifier. And I have found that these "omni-directional" antennae still need to be pointed in a certain direction to better pick up a signal.

This was designed for cable signals. For indoor antenna, I recommend trying a different antenna all together instead of a signal booster. A booster will not improve an over the air signal that is poor due to obstacles.

Try it. It might work. I have my outdoor antenna on the roof of the house, and have this amplifier near my HDTV in the basement. It has worked so far.
