If this is mounted to the old Directv pole, would I get decent reception? Thanks.

Our neighbor did just that and the reception is as good or better than the directv signal. We didn't have to mount ours to get perfect tv. We just set ours in the attic facing in the right direction and the outcome is better than we hoped for! We are sooo glad we cut the cable.

I think that as long as this antenna is mounted segurely on the poll and you can get it in the right direction, it may work. I have nmot tried it with this poll.

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.

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.

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.

I used this antenna connected to a digital tv through the converter box (before I realized I didn't have to.) It worked fine, so I agree with the others, it should be no problem.

No. This is an indoor antenna that will work ok in a metro area where you are less than 25 miles from the TV towers. You will likely need to take extreme measures to pickup digital TV signals from that far away.

I mounted it on my roof but did not get good reception. It was very sporadic depending on the weather. It should work with a splitter, however, if both TV's are on at the same time, I would guess that you would get some signal degradation.

No, I wouldn't recommend it. I thought I had a strong, direct signal outdoors and am disappointed with my reception. I haven't reached a final decision yet, but have purchased a powered signal amplifier. I live in an apartment and bought this antenna because it could be mounted discretely outdoors. It's certainly good looking.

I think it depends on which receiver you have. Dish customer service is great, they can answer that question for you.

I mounted it on a 6' fence post. But, I am only 5 miles from downtown. Still, it was way better than the $50 antenna I had. I've read others get good reception from 25 miles out. Hopefully you don't live in a low area/valley and not have good line-of-sight to a tower. It works great for me. Heavy-duty hardware as I said in my review. Pretty decent product.

Yes. I hooked up a $10 twenty-year old double bow-tie uhf antenna and pulled in about 40 over the air DTV broadcasts. I got all the network (CBS, NBC,ABC, FOX, UPN, WB, PBS) HD signals PERFECTLY. I live in Queens, NY and from my 25th story window I have line-of-sight with Empire State Bldg, so your actual mileage may vary.

I have directv with this one. Depends on the receiver you get from dish. If you get an had dish and have an he tv then you should

I think if this sat receiver dish is attached to your existing satellite receiver box you would still be able to pick up signals. It is the box with its card that de-scramble's the signal not the dish. When I used D-TV I used to take mine on the road with me. Dont think the companies care as long as you pay your bill. you might consider talking with DISH and ask about the pay as you go works well for occasional use.

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

I have the same antenna, connected to a digital tv and it works well. Reception of course depends on the area in which you reside (if in a large city with tall buildings, reception is better on higher floors). If you have an analog tv, then it is necessary to connect the antenna with a coaxial cable at "IN" on a converter box, then connect another coaxial cable going "out" on the converter box and to the analog tv. I hope this helps answer your question.

I agree. I bought a better antenna and it works as good as any handheld I've had or had experience with. WELL worth the money!

All I can say is that I have mine installed in a closet under a stairway next to the chimney. I have the antenna vertical rather than horizontal, facing the direction of the primary source of TV signals. If you can receive some signals with a regular antenna, this will improve your reception. If not, find a place where a regular antenna works and install it there.

Not sure. It ran my directv receiver box but not the flat screen tv in my RV. It got very hot. I would look elsewhere.
