does anyone know how to fix the antenna on this unit. We had two, and the antennas broke off of both only get signal 4 ft from unit!!!

The gray outer portion of my antenna has fallen off twice (my LO used to hold it... and drop it - oops). However, for me, the main antenna "wire" remained intact so I just super glued the gray cover back on and it still works as good as before.

I had zero issues with mine, definitely remove the radio again and check your antenna connection

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.

Mine might be a generation older than this one, I purchased it in June 2011, but my range is quite expansive inside and out of my house. My home is about 3500sq ft and 4 total floors and I never lose signal even when going outside. I did go next door to out neighbors house once, and it was spotty, but did still work some. I never even really pop up the antenna and never have problems.

hey, i'm in the same prob here, looking for something to boost my weak signal for my regular tv. I don't use cable, just rabbit ears. Any sugestion which antenna is best or should i go look for booster?

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.

Sounds like some of the elements- rods sticking out on antenna broke. Assuming mast is I damaged. You will have to buy a new antenna. If you have an attic or space above garage you may wish to try attic installation. YouTube has many videos showing how.

Try the learning mode first, Check the antenna connections. Mine came loose and it made static.

Hi Judy. This website maybe able to help: http://www.antennaweb.org/ Although it is really hard to tell what stations you can pick up. This antenna does have an amplifier so it may help getting distant signals. I would give it a try, if it doesn't work Amazon is good about returns. If you have a BestBuy close to you they may have some suggestions, although their price is usually high.

Some obvious questions first must be asked. Is it plugged into a power source and it it connected directly to the TV/receiver?Was the carton in which it was shipped damaged in any way which may indicate a damaged antenna?How many local channels are available in your area, maybe your range from sources only allows the success that you have?

The analog Co-axil port on my TV is not broken...the TV works just fine. I currently have an antenna and just need to boost the signal. The signal boost I purchased does not work, but is receiving power from the outlet, but the booster itself does not work. I know this because I tested the power cord send with the amplifier with a mutlimeter. I would prefer to have another amplifier sent, not an antenna and I do not want to convert to HDMI because my TV has no available HDMI ports left.

I'm trying to find out the same thing. It's weird. Mine detects stations that are very faint yet misses some of the major ones with strong signals. So how do I get those major stations?!? Hello Creative Labs: You're missing some obvious features, so plus update so you'll really be the best.

on mine i had to do auto tuning but i also had to connect the cable tv cable that was not operational to the back of this power antenna then out from antenna to tv make sure antenna is pluged into wall and turned on this worked for me but this antenna still wont ge every channel so i ended up going to radio shack and put up an outdoor antenna that worked perfect and gets every channel crystal clear it was 37.00 this antenna is the best iv ever used and will recomend it to anyone it has a 50 mile range from the mountain where signals are transmitted try this and good luck to you gary

I installed two of these antennae in two different locations and they work pretty good. check all your connections, you may have gotten a bad amplifier supplied with the antennae.

. you need to purchase a signal booster and the antenna. makes a ton off difference. look at part # 815126 booster # 859970 home kit and 301125 antenna.

No, it's not meant to reach that kind of area. I'd call Wilson. They're support is really great. They may suggest something like this with different antennas or they may suggest a home sized unit.

Specifically, I bought two of these units and due to poor design (plugin nut not tightened) I twisted an internal wire and broke it.I am not using the other unit. A signal declines over the distance it travels in a cable. I have 150' (2 75') of cable with two 22dB amplifiers on a HD antenna and it works for me.
