Will this antenna work in a home with e glass or double pane glass windows?

Not a 100% sure but, radio waves should go through the windows, it worked well in the car. Go online to the manufacturer and ask them directly. I would say try it and it doesn't work or work well, Amazon may take it back. Make temp connections onto the window, don't remove the permanent tape system and attach. Good Luck.

It should work on any type of smooth glass used in any kind of Windows. It relies on surface tension so it might not work on glass with a rough texture texture privacy glass like you might find in a bathroom or on a shower door. It goes on the inside window pane so single or double pane makes no difference.

If its just the frames that are aluminum you can stick the antenna to the glass panes.

Sounds like you've talked to someone that doesn't understand radio waves. No, windows will not break the signal. If you live in an apartment or close to others using similar devices, you may get interference from their devices. The only way I could see windows "breaking" the signal, would be because of the lack of solid walls with wires and foil insulation, you could get crossover or interference. But that is not a common problem at all. Get them and enjoy the music.

Yes. It is specifically designed to mount on a window giving outdoor antenna reception to an indoor radio without penetrating the home in any way.

You will get better reception. Mine is working fine in the middle of the room. You can also buy more cable to get it closer to a window.

I could be mounted but I suspect the space between thermalpane glass would be a huge loss of signal to maybe no signal at all.......you will also see a few guys that have had the same problem as myself in trying to keep the antenna on the glass without falling off.....I tried 4 times, two different antennas and was eventually not successful ......I tried 3 different glues and scratch sanded the spot where the mount would be.......still no success....I don't know why there aren't more people having the same problem but the few I can see are a comfort to me.....With my past experience I would not take the chance on mounting this antenna on your RV....sorry bout that...............

The antenna works best when mounted on a window as designed. It hangs on clear suction cups which would mount on any very smooth"non porous" surface.

I just hang the antenna wire up over a window or picture frame and try to use the full length in your home it does work better with the wire antenna for short wave . good luck

It should work great, I just tried it with 3 windows and a doorwall all open and you could still see it.

Not too far a range. If the panels are small it might work. If your bay windows are large then you would have to use one for each panel. Good luck.

Depending on where you live, the orientation of your house, which direction the antenna will face and whether it's on an outside wall or not, then maybe yes and maybe no. You would have to try it first without mounting it to see your reception.

Yes i have no problem with double pane glass door. My transmitter is inside of glass front tv enclosure in living room and the reciever is outside on the patio 18 foot away. My home has exterior stucco walls and a sliding glass door

Sorry it did not work for better reception so I returned it. I originally hooked both to the one. Hung it near a window also. Thought of splicing the one and dividing it also but decided to just return it.

I do use it just for my home. I simply put the antenna on the window sill that provided the best signal. It is working quite well. (One bar improves to 4 bars almost always)

The length of the 'wing' is about 28" and the depth is a little more than 5". The plastic blinds will not effect reception, but if the window sill is close to the floor, the house electrical wiring, that usually runs around the perimeter of rooms at wall outlet height, will. [generally, the higher you place the antenna, the better your reception] Go to antennaweb.org, enter your address and see where the TV transmission towers, for stations available to you, are located in relation to your house. This will determine the direction you should orientate the antenna for best reception. The length of the 'wing' is about 28" and the depth is a little more than 5".
