are those round ears antennas? Do I need to keep them stand the way it shows in the pictures? I want to hide it behind a TV mounted on the wall.

I believe the round pieces are like signal receptors from sender unit to receiver. The slim vertical piece may be the antenna. You will have to position the best way you can to get signal from each other. Mine are located 1 upstairs/1 downstairs, not necessarily facing each other and I have no problem with signal.

Yes the round ears are antennas. For the best reception they need to be up with enough room for you to rotate them for the best picture. Depending on how close your tv is mounted to the wall will determine if you can hide it or not. I think the best way for this device to operate is with it sitting flat on something.

I mounted mine on a corner shelf just above the TV,(48" Sony on a diagonal in the corner of the room) the round ears are antennas, they don't necessarily need to be straight up, I rotated them around to get the best signal. It is explained in the instructions for the unit. I raised the shelf to be even with the top of the TV. Originally had it sitting on a bass speaker behind the TV. I got decent signal but raising it up put the unit away from all the other electronics and greatly improved things. your may need to move it around and try different positions but the item did do what i expected. Hope this helps.

Those round ears are indeed antennas, and they need to be aligned with each other so as to transmit signals both ways.

The round ears are indeed the transmitter and receiver for each unit. They need to be directed toward each other for the best possible reception. They are adjustable. If you can fit the unit behind the wall-mounted TV and point the transmitter accordingly to the receiver unit, then it should work fine. The key is getting them pointed toward each other.

They are round ear antennas, You could place them anywhere as long as both antennas face each other

You have to have the mini dishes pointing in the general direction of the transmitter ( in other words you want the dishes pointing towards each other ). Even if the two dishes are in different area of the house or room.

You should be able to hide/mount device. The round "ears" do flip up and that is how the reception is sent and received. I have mine sitting on the wall mount arm behind a 19inch flat screen so it cannot be seen. It works great and its upstairs while the transmitter is downstairs. The ears rotate, raise and lower to gain optimal reception.

Yes it will be flush against the wall. There are cutouts for the wires to go from the top cubby to the recessed area behind the bottom cubby where all the wires will be hidden. There is a cutout on the very top for your tv wires as well. I searched for a long time for the right media cabinet and am very happy with this one!

I think the description of the antenna creates confusion. This is a "T-shaped" piece of antenna wire (folded, it is about the size of a pair of shoestrings) and is meant to hook onto the back of a stereo that has the hook-up screws in back. The antenna is then stretched into a "T-shape" across a wall in order to capture sound waves. The illustration makes the antenna seem as though it is a rigid metal construction. You'll understand its construction and limitations better when you visualize it as a "T-shaped" piece of antenna wire.

Just as viewed, when plugged in they stand up straight. Did that answer your question. Good Luck.

Hey John... I had a weird configuration on a RCA TV I was hanging. I had a rectangular layout on the TV. By flipping the two bottom ears, I was able to make it work. All in All, it's a nice product. Hope this wasn't too confusing.

I AM NOT SHUR I UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION. SORRY. I WILL TAKE A GUESS AT YOUR QUESTION. U WANT TO LEAVE STAND ATTACHED TO TV& attach wall mount to a mounting post?? Correct? If so. Yes will work. This is a really great product. I spent $70 at walmart on a peace of ---- returned it. Gd luck

The actual reason, and no one has answered this why the amp is mounted nearest to the antenna, is at that point in the line there is no loss,(or very little loss), or noise induced. If you mount it nearest to the TV it "can" start amplifying the noise also. Which is undesirable.

I didn't mount it against the wall. I bought some punched steel angles and attached them to the back and then that was connected to some mounting brackets onto a 6 foot long wooden base. Sits on my stereo stand and looks like a television.I have mounted white LEDs to the back side edges and use it as lighting when I'm not watching something in a dark room. It lights up the wall behind the screen and provides nice ambient lighting.

You could hide it behind the unit, but it all depends on your placement of the unit. Mine covered my cable outlet, but my wall plug is off to the side. Depending on your number of electronics, it could get full pretty quickly behind the unit if you place it over your wall outlet - depends on your cable management.

No problem. The mounting hardward doesn't show. I would recommend however that you purchase also from a local store a strip of cord cover for the picture down to the outlet. Makes it look a whole lot neater.Regards,

I don't have one behind a TV; however, the one that is mounted behind my refrigerator is clearly visible as long as you have an unobstructed line of vision. I think it would also be visible behind your TV.

There are multiple positions for the mount brackets to be placed behind the TV. If the brackets are showing behind the TV from the bottom, you might want to align the brackets with the TV bolt holes at a higher position.

I have my 60" tv on a corner wall mount and it works great. Nobody can tip it over. The cables are all in the wall. No cables or wires show. The cables come out the lower wall[behind the cabinet] and are plugged into a surge protector. The stand holds all the equipment. Have a soundbar mounted underneath the tv. I wouldn't want to set my tv on the cabinet although it would probably hold it. It is a very neat installation. Hope that helps.

It is installed inside the room (1st floor), on one of my lamp post and kept flat (horizontal means parallel to room floor). But, you have to change the location in the room to adjust the position of antenna for good reception. Sometimes reception gets disturbed for weather condition. However, I'm using insignia NS-DXA2 converter in between TV and Antenna. This converter helps to receive more than 30 channels. Good luck!!!

I found that the mount will not sit next to the ceiling to hide the mounting bracket and you may have to side the t.v. to one side more than the other, why I don't know but may tilt to one side more I use a small line bubble level to get the t.v. to look even. And if you are wanting the t.v. to be straight up and down with the ceiling I think maybe you mean bar yes, but I found that if you are sitting or laying down to view than you may want to set the tilt to more of a 20 degree angle for better viewing. I hope this helps.Good luck

There is a little play. But I have it mounted up high on a window and I can't tell if there is a set screw. As with all window antennas "you get what you get". But I get better performance than just sticking an antenna by the window. Maybe you could use an antenna tuner between your antenna and your CB to tune it.

The tiny rabbit ears I received work about as well as any. I ran coax and mounted a flat antenna on my roof and while I receive more channels, I still get some breakup in my reception. My advice is don't spent a lot, no more than $50 or so, and place an antenna as high as possible (attic?) and as free from obtacles (walls, trees etc.). Also, most antennas are somewhat directional,so keep that in mind.
