Anyone know if the desktop antenna extensions add any latency?

None at all. The signal transmits at the speed of electricity over the cable that would have to be miles in length to experience latency. I swap Alfa antennas for performance and specialization.

Been my experience with the equipped "rubber Dickie" antenna... Not far...add a roof magnetic type and distance is vastly increased...

Yes it instantly starts to work. Works perfect with my desktop. Picks up signal awesomely.

Very little latency. I have not personally used it serious live capture, but have tested. I didn't notice any latency. Streaming magazine suggested a couple of these Black Magic Design UltraStudio combined with a newer, three Thunderbolt buss MacBookPros and Telestreams Wirecast as a portable live streaming system in their April edition.

yes, it appears to have the hardware built into the base of the antenna. At first, there were two wiFi sources I listed under "network connections" so I disabled the network adapter on my laptop since I use it as a desktop (external keyboard, mouse and monitor. the most up to date software is found @ ralinktech.com

I really can't say, since this card didn't work any better than the one I had with only one antenna, so I sent it back for a refund. BTW; I use a D-link DWA-125/RE USB stick that I have on the end of a USB extender cable. I have a tower computer under my desk and the stick lies on top of the desk to get a clear shot to the router. I consistently get full bars from my router, which is about 40ft from my office computer.Hope that helps.

I don't know any technical info about the antenna. My desktop has multi-media capability. I don't own a tv or purchase cable or dish services for tv. This antenna plugs into my desktop console and receives all the local programming with great clarity. I can access many stations.

Over the past several years I find that the antenna is not the problem, but the repeater or usb adapter that has a poor signal. I am sending signals over 1/2 mile in a mobile home court (we have a lot of signal reflection/bounce) without too many problems. We are using a ASUS rt-n66u and Hawling HW3R1 repeaters or an usb adapter made by Sabrent or alpha. We have a response by the user of 3 - 5 seconds

yes on the power supply, and the antennae and coax, just doesnt work too good in rural areas.....i even put a different antennae on a tower 45 ft in the air and it made no differance.

I have not compared the antennas. I have the Winegard and live outside Washington, DC in VA. I have gotten Baltimore stations with the antenna.

I had no noticeable delay using it. I could play off of the feed coming from U3 and it felt just like the source. I switched to El Gato though, because I was having problems with the U3 being recognized by my computer. Make sure you have a USB 3.0 available for the U3 and the right chipset to recognize it when plugged in.

There might be a chance if you have a WiFi network adapter with connectors on the back....desktops don't have an internally built antenna, For a Wireless card to work on Desktop, you need to have a separate antenna which is supplied by your CPU manufacturer, for example, I have a ASUS CPU which has a built in Realtek 802.11ac wireless card, the card only works when the antenna is hooked up, otherwise its dead.

I believe that you can but be careful how you configure it. Every time you jump through an extender it introduces some latency. After a few jumps you might be very disappointed in the performance.

No, works great in real time. I watch direct tv while running using it. No delay.

Any. Mine actually adds strength and secures the digital quality and i can go over 500 feet from the base. I don't live in town so I have no interference issues but the range and signal quality is impressive with it. It greatly helps in basements and bad weather.

Yes, no issues with reception. This will vary depending on your location to the broadcasted signal.

Nope, I use it everyday on GarageBand and there's no latency whatsoever~ It's built to quality :)
