Can I use the existing coax cables from my present satellite hookup to install this antenna?

Just MAKE sure you disconnect ANY MULTISWITCH cause if you don't you wont receive a thing.. Coax switches and SAT switches are 2 different animals. You must use a Coax Switch if you use this product. This is a common error why a lot of people receive no signal when they used their existing lines.. on some peoples runs... over 90 feet you may have to use a 2nd amplifier..

Sherry a friend of mine mounted this antenna directly to his satellite pole, after removing the dish. You can use the satellite coax , but you might have to remove some of the splitter boxes used by satellite.

Yes you can. Just remove the coax that goes to your TV's from the cable feed outside your house, mount the antenna in your desired location and run a coax cable from the antenna and connect (use a male/male connector) it to the cable that feeds your TV's. It's as easy as that and if your like me you will get a better picture than you got from your cable provider

Most definitely ... I used the HD cable from my satellite hookup for the antenna ... works beautifully and no new cable to run :)

Yes, you can use the same cables and the signal will run along the same route as your cable did, so if your cable was used for more than 1 TV, same will happen. You need to change the hookup location on your tv and may need a different connector.

I used the existing coax cables and installed the antenna in the same spot the satellite was. This should work fine; however, I get no channels with my antenna.

Yes I used the same cables my satellite system was using. FYI this antenna works perfect in my area I live 40 miles from St. Louis Missouri and receive 24 channels

Absolutely....I would recommend it to be the thicker RG-6, which I'm sure it is

Type in "coax cable" in amazon. One of the first things will be an "extension adapter" this allows you to connect the antenna to another cable. Then you just buy a coax cable of whatever length you need.

Sort of...but you have to use the pair. Your Dish receiver will have a coaxial input (F-connector) for each input, SAT and VHF/Antenna. Simply connect the satellite coax to the SAT side and the antenna to the VHF side. At the other end, where your receiver is, connect a short cable from each to the appropriate F-connector in the back of the Dish box. Hopefully that is what you are wanting to do. Good luck!

Don't know exactly but if you look on the back of your unit and you have a male coax cable connector fitting, then it will work.

The end of this unit is a female end. The coax cable will have the pin that will go into the hole.

You probaably could use that cable, but i thinks its overkill, RG-6 coax would suffice

No you cannot. It is just a radio that transmits the single hdmi output signal from your cable box. It cannot transmit the multiple signals from your coaxial.

It means you can use the same coax cable for these along with your cable tv service or your standard tv antenna connection.

The antenna has a balun built in so you can connect your coax directly to it. It also has a second connector to connect a VHF antenna.

No. The copper wire is not the ground. This cable does not have a separate ground wire attached (not that its necessary or even useful). A standard coax such as this one has 2 lines, the center copper wire "signal" and the outer shield "ground". The shield serves as the ground line for the signal, but this is not the same ground you need if you are talking about antenna installation. Antenna's need a separate heavy gauge short straight run to an actual ground (lightning protection). In my opinion, coax wires with the extra ground attached to the side are useless.

If the antenna TEW-L412 is compatible with the modem (which I don't know), you just need to remove (unscrew) the standard antenna and connect the new cable and antenna to the old antenna connector. Mount the new antenna vertically.

Deborah, yes, you can extend the length of the cable. Go to any big box home improvement store and in the audio/video accessories area you'll find coax cable in lengths from around 10' to 250'. Pre-packaged cables will already have the F-Type coax connectors on them (like the one on your antenna cable). Buy whatever length you think is adequate, along with a package of "F-Type" cable adapters. These inexpensive double ended male adapters will allow you to join your antenna to your longer cable, a very easy job. Good luck!

I don't think you can connect the antenna to this modem, because this type of modem does not have the antena you can replace. For what I know the antenna is inside your modem.
1079826
Yes it can. Just unscrew the telescopic antenna and screw in the standard coax connection

Nope. This is for networking cables only. Ethernet and old school T ring style network cables. Coax (like for your TV) will not fit.

Yes you can you will need a connector to join the two cables together. Keep in mind the further your run the coax the more you will lose some of the signal power. Make sure you set your SWR's when you get everything installed.

Our house is wired for cable. Since we use the cable for internet, the satellite installer didn't use the existing cable wiring. You could easily do the same.
