Will this help find more OVER-THE-AIR channels by connecting it between antenna and TV, then readjusting the (indoor) antenna before scanning my HDTV...?

No, I don't think so. This only helps you align to the Dish/Direct TV satellites. My husband spent a lot of time searching for the over-the-air broadcast channels, then marked them accordingly on our rotor antenna. Hope this helps

No. It's the wrong frequency. Also, the Triplett uses the DC voltage in the satellite cable for power, a TV doesn't have that. Sorry

This was designed for cable signals. For indoor antenna, I recommend trying a different antenna all together instead of a signal booster. A booster will not improve an over the air signal that is poor due to obstacles.

I agree with Charles. If the signal is strong enough, it should pick up the channel. I need to move the antenna periodically, but not that often. My antenna picks up two 7.1s and two 7.2s. I hope this helps!

I'm not aware of an Over The Air (OTA) antenna that uses USB, so I don't think USB is going to help you. As good as these TV's are, yet impossible to find, I'd shop around the TV/electronics repair shops in the area & see who will fix it for the most reasonable price. Since it's a coaxial cable input in question, you could check w/ your local cable companies & see what they'd charge to fix it.

Try moving the antenna facing a different location and on top of a bookshelf or something. I have noticed that mine picks up some channels better than others depending on how it is facing. Good luck. Mine has worked very well for me.

Sure. Just connect the antenna cable to the input, scan for and program the channels, and you're good to go.

I'm having the same problem. Worked great for the first month or so, had about 15 channels (Pretty much the maximum amount of channels for my area). Then one day I turn on my television, and I only have about 4 channels. Pretty irritated about it myself! I've tried a variety of different positions for the antenna with no luck. Let me know if you find a solution!!

No. This device picks up digital broadcast signals. That means the signals that the television stations transmit over the air.

Hello Amber!! After you connected the antenna did you set your Tv input and adjust the channel.. You have to scan the channel from 1 and set to air / antenna NOT cable. Hope it will help you.. Keep in touch.....good Luck

probably not. We are actually looking for a new antenna because this one has issues at times, signal not staying in. We have to drag it all over the living room to get it to work properly.

You might need to move the antenna around the room to pinpoint where it receives the best reception. I at times move mine from 3 different spots depending on what channel I am watching. Hope this helps.
1590501
Yes, that's what I attach the signal booster to. It gives me more local HDTV channels.

Absolutely, just aim for best reception and tell your TV menu to search for channels and you're ready to go. I tested several brands and this one was the best by a wide margin. Hope you have the same good luck we did.

Yes it has in and out coax connections, select "Antenna" from the menu for over-the-air TV channels.

Not sure what model you have. The HDTVI is not omni-directional. I can tell you that you won't get as many channels without an amplifier. And I have found that these "omni-directional" antennae still need to be pointed in a certain direction to better pick up a signal.

If you only have one TV it might. If you are splitting the signal, it may not help. Try it and if you don't like it, return it.
