Does this antenna attach to a tv or is it an independent unit. Will I get the free local channels on all 3 of my tvs with just this one antenna?

I ended up returning mine as I could not hardly get any of my local channels to come in. It may have something to do with the newer televisions work the best receiving digital signals so if the channels you are trying to get to come in are not strong enough the TV set may just agnor the weak signal.

Just one TV you need to get an aftermarket amplified splitter for multiple TV's. Yes you get local free programs with better clarity then cable.

The TERK is an independent unit. I believe you can attach it to a house. We have ours mounted on a pole. I expect if you use a splitter, you can route the signal to multiple TV's. We use it for our TV and our digital recorder. We are also using the signal amplifier that came with it. Distance from the antenna to the TVs may be a factor to consider. Any station that broadcasts over the air you should be able to receive, but it will depend on distance and natural obstructions.

It attaches to the TV coax connector that a cable box would attach to. I wouldn't advise splitting the signal to go to more than one TV unless you are in a super strong broadcast location. The signal strength is low to begin with and splitting it would likely diminish the signal available to the multiple TV's so low that there would be no reception.

You mount the antenna in an attic or outside, or I guess you could mount in inside, but you will get better reception the higher you can mount it. You connect the antenna to the TV with a standard coaxial cable. You would have to use a "spiltter" to go to more than one TV. The more times you "split the signal, the less your reception will be.The channels you get will depend on if your local channels broadcast "over the air". You would have to call those stations and ask them.

It is independent and mounted on my 1 story roof. I am 25 miles from the transmitter towers in San Diego County, CA .Point the antenna toward the location of the towers. Try to avoid obstacles in the path of the signals from the towers.Connect the antenna cable (you will need a long extension cable also) to the "ANT IN" on your TV. Good Luck.

I also get local channels from Dish. This unit will still get any off air channels within range including the ones on dish

It comes with its own built in preamp which you plug into an ac outlet behind the television itself. The system is designed pretty well and you have only one cable that runs to the antenna. The single strength is as strong as you can get from this type of antenna and the best part is that its done directional, thus you dont have to aim it and it picks up stations from all directions. Hope this helps.

If you are in an area with over the air broadcast, then yes you will receive those local channels. You are not going to receive cable TV.

I hooked it to my RV antenna and it works great. You have to do a scan in the setup mode for the tuner to find your local channels.

It does not come with one, however it came with a form that states if you leave a review amazon is supposed to give you a free adapter or antenna. I left my review for that reason. Usually I never do reviews, but I have not received either. Although I have not had the time to pursue inquiry. I will though and try to keep you posted. Hope that helps.

This will depend on many factors which are unique to you, e.g. where your TV is located in the house, what your walls are made of, how many walls between the TV and outside, and what your signal strength is. This is more likely to affect local channels rather than national channels, but it could affect national channels as well. I get different channels based on which wall the antenna is placed on, so I bought two antennas and put them on two different walls (the antennae are about 15 feet apart, I have brick walls).

You only need a HD antenna to pick up any free HD channels in your viewing area but this won't get paid channels for free only HD channels of local digital over the air content Hope this helped I used to be confused about what free HD meant too

I love this antenna, and even though I do not have cable, it is connected to a small HDTV and I get all of the local channels and more that I used to have to use the converter box to get with old TV's. I have no reservations in recommending it. Hope that helps. Oh, and reception is excellent, picture very clear.

It is a special part. It is not the antenna but the RG6 cable that goes to a special part which is provided. The plug inserts into a wall outlet or power strip while the RG6 cable attaches to a small device then another part goes into the TV. It is very simple. You will have no problems with it. The RG6 cable is not included.

It's an indoor antenna, plugs onto an outlet or pow power strip, then attaches to the TV. I live above a business, surrounded by other buildings, I get about 23 channels, it works very well.

I don't know any technical info about the antenna. My desktop has multi-media capability. I don't own a tv or purchase cable or dish services for tv. This antenna plugs into my desktop console and receives all the local programming with great clarity. I can access many stations.

Yes, it will work on Cable or off the air, I have Suddenlink cable and I can get the free local channels as well as the standard cable channels.

This is only the indoor antenna. It will not work by itself. I purchased the complete system to work inside a metal building. Outside the building I had 3 bars , inside I had zero. Installed the Wilson system for and went to 4 bars inside. Love it.

There particular digital antennas are intended to give great HD clarity for free; however, you do not need to have a HDTV but DO need to have a digital TV. This antenna will not work with an analog television. You would need to purchase a converter.

Yes you can attach an antenna. I really like this TV and would recommend it.
