Can I install the Cable Cutter in my attic. And can I use standard coaxial cable with a splitter for 2-3 tv's?

Yes, you can mount the Cable Cutter in the attic. Although, in general this is not the best location for any antenna so mileage may vary. The Cable Cutter can be mounted outdoors as well as indoors. You can use any standard RG6 coaxial cable and yes you can split the signal. We usually recommend a drop amp if you are going to split the signal to boost the signal strength before you split the signal.

The short answer is yes. I am assuming that you are not subscribing to a cable service and you just want to use the coax distribution system that is already installed in the house. The antenna comes with a transformer to convert the antenna to feed the coax that most CATV systems use. Be sure you make good tight connections and weather proof any outdoor connections. I have had very good results with this antenna

Yes - there is no need for any other cable.Just be sure to get the preamp as close to the antenna as possible.Be sure to use a top quality coaxial cable, and keep its length under 100 ft.If you are going to use a splitter, for more than 1 TV, that can be in the house.

the one that comes with it is junk and is only 6 feet....any cable will work....the best thing to do is to go to you old cable box and back feed the wiring thats already in the house...i gotten a house with 6 tv's up and running this way without running one new wire!!! antenna is GREAT when you get it aimed right....moving it a inch in ether direction can make a station come in or not be there at all....make sure its over the roof line unless you know all the tv stations are in one direction...if you go to tvfool.com and type in your address is will show you where EVERY tv station is relitive to where you are so you know where to aim the antenna...also this one is NOT good if the station are over 45 miles

No it does not work from a standard Coax cable- THIS CABLE will not work for that ,it is some type of specialty coax hookup not for home

yes, I have a cable box from Frontier FiOS and this box, with a coax cable splitter prior to each unit, and they both work great.

You can run them thru walls or attic . I use cable television cableon mine, since they were there before . You have to use adapters ..

You could do it, but I would worry about interference from the power line on any cables you are running, assuming you are feeding them all straight down. They would be right next to each other. I have read power cables and coax cables should not be close to each other, and if they are, they should intersect at right angles to each other.

Yes, I have two TV's hooked up to my antenna and they both work great. I am not a TV or antenna professional, but my understanding is that you could hook up as many TV's to the antenna as you want. The only down side is that you will lose some signal in the coaxial splitter needed to split the signal to go to multiple TV's, and the larger the splitter (more coaxial outlets), the more signal loss there will be. So, get a splitter with the same number of outlets as the number of TV's you have. Hope this helps.

Sure you can. You will need a splitter box.One antenna in, 2 or more tv's out.Look up...antenna splitters. Cheers.(maybe tv splitters)

Depends on how strong of a signal you receive. I split the signal to 3 TV's with no issues. The box has only one Coax output but you can by a splitter to distribute to multiple TV's.

I bought this to do just that. You do need a short coaxial cable to plug the splitter into the TV coaxial input and then plug the antenna in one and the Satellite DVR in the dual side of the splitter. I'm able to use the TV remote to switch between over the air digital channels or switch to channel 3 for the DVR. I don't get any interference from the DVR anymore and it works well for my purposes.

To be honest I think you will have to try it or call the company about your location. By the way, I am happy with the product, I install in the attic of my house run coax cable to both of my TV.

As many as you'd like. It's your antenna and your TV's, you don't have to play by anyone else's rules, man. You can buy signal splitters for a few bucks each from lots of places; Home Depot has a nice selection. These splitters are available in 1-to-2 or 1-to-4, but you can gang them together to hook up a dozen TV's if you want. If the lines get long, you might want to purchase a signal amplifier -- also pretty cheap -- to make sure the signal is strong to each TV. All of this works great, and the picture is better than most cable systems provide because it's NOT compressed. The problem you're likely to run into, though, is finding a DVR that'll work with an antenna. Choices are few, but Channel Master probably offers the best. Magnavox also offered a combination DVR/DVD-R at one time, dunno if they still do.

You could but it really works best as a single-TV unit. When you start to divide the signal amongst other gear the quality goes downa bit. An amp would help as CC58 pointed out. The in-house coaxial hookup is a decent idea.

First of all, make sure that your cable signal isn't scrambled (requires a decoder box). If it isn't, what you are looking for is called "coaxial cable" ("coax cable" for short), and can be found for under $10 on Amazon.

I would be very interested in a work around for this as well... would you be able to add a "combining splitter" (?) that would channel both a uhf antenna and a separate vhf antenna coax cables into single coax cable to the TV or Digital tuner?... that's the only thing I could think of, but I have no idea if it would work...
