I want to mount my 42" flat screen TV on the wall with this antenna behind the tv...Wondering if I can do this? Anyone?

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.

It's thin enough to go behind a wall mount but some of that depends on the size of the mount. I'm not sure how this would affect the reception. I originally mounted it on a wall behind my entertainment center and didn't get the reception I wanted. Once I moved it to the floor, reception improved greatly. Hope this helps.

There is no way to mount this speaker to the TV. You will have to drill the wall. I have a built in wall system and mine sit in a little cubie hole that was made for it. I cannot send you a picture of it because this site will not allow it. Thanks Dr. Charles

I agree. Look at the Firestiks or Wilson antennas if you want to thread mount it. I posted a pic of the antenna disconnected from the magnetic base if you decide to go this route.

Did you ever try mounting this directly to your TV and were you successful? Seems like most of the responses went to whether it could be mounted to the wall, with only Amy L. suggesting that it could not actually be mounted to the TV. I want to mount a soundbar directly to my TV that is on a swivel, so I'm wondering if you got it to work for you???

It is mounted behind a flat TV on the wall and it works perfectly. What a marvelous thing. We love it!!! Thank you.

Thanks, we moved a 42" Sharp and want to remount elsewhere. It is approx. 3.5 years old and weighs 68plus pounds. They used a Level Mount brand that weighs approx 20 # on its own and very complicated. we will be mounting on drywall and know we have to use studs. just wanted an easier solution. The mount that we took down is for TV's up to 200 pounds. Think this one may be overkill. But the TV is too expensive to get rid of. Thanks again.

Most flat TV's have a VESA Mount Standard Pattern on the back (4 HOLES THAT FIT 4 SCREWS) used to hang TV to a wall. You just have to find the right screw size (vendor provides 4 or 5 different screw sizes, ONE SET OF FOUR should fit right on the back of your TV). Then use them to attach the TV hooks(upright metal pieces) to TV. Then you just hang TV, using the hooks, onto the brackets (horizontal pieces) previously attached to wall, per vendor instructions. You might need help lifting up your TV. I hope this answer your question, good luck!

To mount the external antenna I used the existing TV antenna. I attached to the end of it thereby creating the ability to raise and lower it. I also fed the cable through in place of the old TV cable.

Understandable... I was surprised myself to learn this attached to 1 stud. (I use to install flat screens professionally) I purchased and hung it very carefully. I have a 55" TV. So far it's fine. Was referred by a friend who installed same mount for his 50". I think you'll be fine with a 40". Course' I can't guarantee it. Great mount though. No complaints... yet. I believe the lag bolts were 3.5" or maybe 4".

Trial and error would be your best bet. If you have a previous cable provider you can connect the antenna in to the input and send the signal throughout your home of course that would mean mounting it outside. I did this and it worked great.

i imagine you could do that. i did it with my other tv mount so i could make sure it was secured in the center of the stud. then i just drywalled close to it then put a cover on it.

The Cable Cutter antennas comes with a self adhesive hook where you can hang the antenna on a wall behind your television, near the window, or even on the window. We ship a long 12' cable to give you enough length to mount the antenna anywhere near your television. Most of our customers mount the antenna indoors in this or similar manner. The placement is pretty forgiving for most locations as indicated in the exhaustive Wirecutter review. Return shipping is included with the Amazon Prime purchase, but you probably won't need that anyhow!

Not sure what you are trying to do there. A wall plate wouldn't cover it, but the connections are in the back so you can't see them anyway. I have mine set up under my TV and the wires all come from behind it so they're out of view.

I would. This mount is a beast!! I have it for my 55" TV and it is great. This mount is pretty long as well, so the back of your TV is probably as long as this mount. If you look, Amazon should have a nice wall mount for a 32-40" TV.

It is a fairly generic TV mount. I am very certain it would fit any flat panel TV provided it was not too heavy. 42-inch flat panel should be no problem. I have a 46-inch Samsung mounted on the wall with this device. Keep in mind that this is a fixed installation. You will not be able to move the TV for better viewing after installation. If you need line of sight variability you should get a flexible mount which is bigger, bulkier and more intrusive visually.

I just shoved mine up behind the TV. I tilted my TV so the bottom of it is closer to the wall and the wires stay up fairly well.

Thanks for the question! I also have a wall-mounted Sony TV... (dry wall mount). I used the wall template that came with the speakerto mount the speaker just above the TV (centered) by creating two holes and using two drywall anchors and screws. I ran the cable behindthe TV and down to the amplifier. Took about 15 minutes and worked great! Looks good too! Hope this helps you! Bob
