I do not have technical skills with wires/cable -is this antenna REALLY plug and play?

Absolutely, just aim for best reception and tell your TV menu to search for channels and you're ready to go. I tested several brands and this one was the best by a wide margin. Hope you have the same good luck we did.

Yes, it is REALLY that simple. -To connect. ...As for your TV, that can be a little different. You will need to due a channel search for 'antenna.' it will be somewhere in your MENU and then probably in an 'initial Set-up' tab.

Just plug the cable where your cable/antenna would go and point the antenna in the direction of the strongest signal and you are good to go. There are several web sites that will give you guidance on what direction to point your antenna, just do a web search for antenna direction.

It is very easy to set-up, the instructions are very clear. If you can hook a dvd player up then you can do this. I love my antenna, it has saved me a bundle of cash since I dropped cable 8 months ago.

Yes, but my favorite is Mohu Leaf Ultimate I purchased after this one. Paperthin and takes as many channels as this one.

Reading the description of that antenna, I noticed that it has a built in amplifier. Try using it first, to see what your reception is, before adding a separate amp.

you need an SMA Reverse polarity Male connector, other wise youll be stock with an antenna you cant use.

This is NOT a satellite antenna. It is only for over the air broadcast stations. Since over the air broadcast went to digital, most air broadcast stations have sub-stations. That means there are many more over the air stations than were available when over the air was analog. With the new improved over the air stations and the sub-stations there is no reason to pay the high rates of cable and satellite. Give the new antennas a try.

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 do not claim to be a technical whiz; I followed the channel master preamplifier instructions which instructs a short length of coaxial cable (which I just happen t have a 12 inch piece). I connected the channel master 8 bay antenna with cable to preamp. (I am using my antenna indoors, since I live in Central Florida; known for being a strong lightning zone!)

ok,well,as i just stated in my last post, i have already gone to antennaweb.org.and their information must be taken with a grain of salt.the predictions for what you can and cannot get seem to be educated guesses,but do not pan out (at least in my case). but anyway,i already know that knowing the location of a transmitter generally helps.i only want information on different makes of converter boxes.

Get an adapter to attach wires and plug it in. This antenna did not work well for me in a steel sided shop

Yeah, if you are hooking up multiple TVs or have long cable runs from the antenna an amplifier is the solution. Note: Amplifiers are NOT the solution for weak signals due to distance from the stations. Your best bet there is to buy a bigger/better antenna. The amp can only work with what it gets from the antenna. If all you're getting is static than amplified static is what you'll get with an amp added.

Jim--No, it's not a kit and pretty much works right out of the box. Some want to attach a different antenna to the transmitter and they often get the type of connector wrong. By the way, the unit works just fine with the included antenna.

How would you connect this antenna, is there a place on the radio for a second antenna (e.g. 75 ohm or two screws?) 75 ohm would require a converter. This is an inexpensive antenna, and not very good. I don't believe it will make the reception better, as you already have an antenna. If your radio has a place to attach a second antenna, look for a better antenna.

This antenna needs to be plugged in to power the antenna to work properly. I don't get anything without the antenna being powered.

That is an interesting thought. I assumed you need this antenna, the amplifier, and the indoor transmitter antenna. The connection is BNC.

I think it is simple enough for anyone to hook it up. Yes it does have instructions which are easy to follow. Did not work for us as we are too far from most strong signals. Only received one channel with the antenna. (one we don't watch)

Perhaps. I'm about to try that myself. The biggest issue is to check to see where your digital signals are coming from. Visit here: https://www.antennasdirect.com/transmitter-locator.html to find out more.

The antenna on to is the only connection , use an adapter to connect to your coax. This should achieve what your looking to do.

Just plug antenna into your antenna on your receiver and see if the channels come in like they should. Its just an antenna going into your receiver. I guess your receiver will boost the signal I don't know. Antenna will bring it to receiver. You may have to get adapter to plug in or hook up wires, I don't know the configuration on your set up.
