Question 1

Are you guys mounting this antenna on the "Inside" of your home? There is a fox tower 69 miles from our house, will we pull it in with this antenna?

Accepted Answer

Probably not, unless conditions are just right. You don't state whether the fox station operates on UHF or VHF, most digital stations are now UHF, however a few (usually the ones that were old stations when the switch to digital happened) are VHF and need an antenna "tuned" to both UHF and VHF, be cautious if it states it also receives FM as that can cause the antenna to perform poorly if there is a strong FM station between you and the tv station that you wish to view.

Question 2

If I will select channel will this antena rotate automaticaly in the best signal dirrection, or I must rotate it with the remote with myself?

Accepted Answer

Once you have the antenna hooked up, their should be a red light on the bottom of the antenna.  If the red light isn't on that means your cable isn't hooked up right or you have a break in the cable somewhere.  If you have the red light on then it's time to scan your TV and see how many channels you get. The best thing to do if you don't know where the broadcast towers are is to scan the TV with the antenna turned in multiple directions while scanning the TV after every time you rotate the antenna.  So once you scan your TV on air channels, and you already found the best signal direction all you have to do is watch TV !!!!!!!!  I scanned mine the first time  I got 8ch then I turned it  rescan  an got 14ch  turned it some more rescand the TV now I get 36 crystal clear channels

Question 3

Does it need to be pluged in to work?  I do not care about moving

Accepted Answer

You do not need to plug the box in that comes with the antenna. HOWEVER, here's what the box does. It takes marginal and low received signals and amplifies them for your TV receiver/tuner to get a better reception. So if you don't plug the unit in and turn up the gain, then you can expect to get less quality from channels and less channels. If you plug the gain box in then your utilizing the most that your antenna is capable. Also check to see if your tv has a signal strength meter. This will also help you to get the antenna in the sweet spot azimuth. I'm a professional California contractor installing systems like this.

Question 4

Do i have to buy the additional  pole for the rotation device to work?          i was just going to use the same wood pole my dish tv was on.

Accepted Answer

There is not a pole that comes with it, my husband used the bracket from our old satellite dish and welded something together to make it work
