if you have a cable or satellite set top box, you would connected to it. TV does not need to be on.

Its better to leave it out in the open, if you leave it behind the tv it will not perform as well

Yes, butI take the tv down whenwe travel because I don't want the weight of the tv tugging on the wall while under way.

i leave mine set to on. all my equipment is run through a panamax power conditioner, which i turn off and on as needed. either way its a fantastic piece for the price tag.

that reviewer might have an old firmware. as long as your TV stays plugged in, it will stay on. Even if you turn the TV off. a possible downside is that it'll make your TV less efficient (roku uses power to stay on). i hesitated on purchasing the stick based on this dang review. glad i pulled the trigger!

If you plug your components and cable/satellite into receiver and from there to TV you should not have to have the TV on to use the receiver. It does show the graphical menu on the TV, but not necessary.

It is not necessary. I used mine with the conventional box 21" TV and it worked just fine with excellent picture quality.However if you want to use an HDTV for its superior performance, that will just be fine. Regards.

I would,think so. But it may depend on whether or not you have a separate cable box or how the TV is serviced by cable. For example, my Tv is plugged into electric so if I put one of,the devices on that outlet, it,would,only turn off the TV. My cable box is plugged into a separate electric outlet so I would need a second device for that.

you ABSOLUTELY can set your TV on this, assuming a) you can lift your TV, b) you don't mind holding your TV to keep it from falling off, and c) you've got more money than you have common sense (which, as far as i can tell, is none).

no, use the one that if it is off, the opthers should also be off. Like choose the computer as the control because of that is off, the printer, speakers and everything except the modem (always on) and router (always on) should be off. i.e. pick the item that when it goes off, so should the rest. For a TV, put your DVR on in an always on slot, the tv in the controller and the speakers, game player and dvd player in the ones being controlled.

Yes.......... These features are available through your remote control, Although I never use them. I prefer to keep my display off.

Not necessary. It has an "Auto-off" feature, so you can leave it plugged in.

Not really. The locking mechanism is strong enough, though, so that there would be little reason to want to remove the TV during travel. If it's an absolute must to remove the TV frequently, you might want to look at the ATDEC Telehook models which are also very solid but have a quick disconnect mechanism.

To my knowledge, no. Basically if you have an HD capable TV you have everything you need. I really like this antennae and it works VERY well in my attic. I've not kept it outside.

You can use it continuously as long as you are not overloading it. Remember, you have leave a margin for the power surge.

No. I keep it plugged into a switched outlet on my receiver, so it is only on when the receiver is on. Works real well.
