What's the proper way to install this? Does it come with a power supply? Cables? what additional stuff do I need to provide? Are DC blockers required at TV ends?

You will need a short piece of cable to connect to the power supply but here is the installation guide.http://www.signalboosterstore.com/Info/Motorola_BDA_Installation_Manual.pdfHope this helps, mine still works great with no disconnects.

The power adapter comes with it, A "Coaxial cable [with] F-type connector" does not. So expect to order with this unit 2 extra Coaxial cables with no splitter configuration: One for the Power adapter to the Booster. One R6 version for the Booster to your Cable modem. I'm so happy the manufacture saved a buck leave a power connection out!

You use a coaxal cable to attach the power supply to the amp. The amp only passes RF, no AC or DC. You should know the RF level before using it though. It is also best to use it before any splitters.

It comes with a required power chord. It also requires input from the computer in the form of dvi, d-sub, or hdmi input

NO, you do not need anything else..everything is included in the box. There is no outside plug or outlet needed, the only thing it is plugged into is an outlet near your inside TV and the TV itself.

@radar363: thank for the information. I kept getting multiple information from vayring sources who should have known the correct response, including the manufacturer of my Television Set. Finally I ordered the cable just to have it on hand when I started setting up and quickly discovered that all but one of my sources was incorrect (and the correct one was NOT the manufacturer of my TV) and I didn't need it at all. Live and learn. But, I appreciate you help. Judi

The power supply is included, the cable that connects it to the amp is not. That cable is a standard cable TV cable with F connectors on both ends. The same type of cable you would use to connect a VCR to your TV. It screws into the top left side of the amp. The directions are simple to follow. I do believe that there is a limit of how long that cable may be. My power unit is about 8 ft. from the amp.

I would not try to install this yourself if you don't have experience or expertise of any kind in this field. This is a bit more involved than setting up a home theater system or solar lights and such. Go to a professional who does this for a living and you'll save time, money and stress.

you get the av cable and plug it in to the TV then plug the converter in to a power supply then plug the "VGA in" into your computer and then make sure the white switches on the side are correctly switched you may need to mess with them a little, then also use the buttons to calibrate it. Then it is done but its not very high definition so don't get your hopes up.

I had exactly the same situation. This takes the digital coax and converts it to the fiber optic. It comes with the power supply, you will still need the coax cable and the fiber optic cable. The fiber optic cable ends and the receptacles on both ends have protectors over all of them to protect from contamination. Remove them all at the time of installation.

Plug the power supply into the back of the "Fake TV' select select your mode (off, on, etc.) and that is all you need to do. Very easy.

Dear friend. Yes you need cable. It is a very complicate installation because, that particular TV Turner was discontinue.

Many thanks for the question! The clear plastic covers look like part of the ends. Pulling these covers off and inserting the cable works fine - they just click in. Another tip is that some TVs work best if you set the TV to "External Speakers" so that there is no sound from the TV speakers.

You do not need a power supply. Don't waste your time like I did trying to find one. It works well letting me add more HDMI devices to my older TV which only has two HDMI inputs. Only complaint is that the range of the remote is pitiful, 3-4 feet.

I had this problem, too. But the manual should state "if the television's POWER is plugged into the back of the cable box." Alas, the TV is three-pronged and the cable box only has a two-prong outlet. I used the function on the cable remote to accomplish this, it's just a little slow to react.

To hook up the cables end-to-end you would need a BNC-to-BNC adapter and an adapter for the DC power cable. The power and video are contained in a single sheath, so splicing the power together would be a pain. You'd be better off just buying a longer cable.

This is like a regular outlet, you need to bring 120v power from another close- by outlet or directly from the fuse panel! This outlet has surge protection and is recessed so the plug is out of way of the TV . It ALSO has an alarm which goes off in the event of a power surge ,and a cut out for a HDMI OR VIDEO cable!! T.Y.

Certainly, that is the simple setup. You will however need a vga cable for a monitor or you can use a bnc to rca adapter for some tv's. They are not included but fairly cheap to buy via third party.

This comes with VGA to VGA and a single RCA to RCA (male to male). The connection is VGA from your computer to the device then from the device via RCA (female) to your tv (female). You shouldn't need anything else to get started, (assuming you have VGA output on your computer and RCA video input on the tv). It is powered via USB, so you will need to dedicate a USB connection while using it. Audio is not affected, I use the audio from my laptop but you can use speakers through your pc's audio jack.
