I'm not sure what indoor/outdoor antenna you are referring to. The radio comes with a 4" antenna for WiFi connection, or you can use an Ethernet cable to connect to your home internet network. This is only an internet-connected radio - it does not receive a satellite signal. You also need a SiriusXM internet subscription.

No; it works fine on my wifi network. If your wifi connection's OK at home, not a problem.

Yes. An Antenna is required to bring in the signal. Depending one many factors you will get a few to a large number for channels. Most are just looking for the major networks. This model is known for having a loud fan and over heating issues. The company has done a few improvements to help but most say issues persist. It's an interesting concept but my family found it wasn't ready to be a cable replacement yet.

Yes. But don't think that this HD Clear Vision antenna is going to give you access to the internet, that a whole other ball game. this antenna picks up over the air broadcasts both in standard and HD. to access the internet you must be physically connected, meaning via cable, DSL or WIFI. the antenna does not pick up WIFI for internet.

It does yes but I found it a better investment to use a Wi-Fi extender in the house. The antenna was allowing a better connection but it was still disconnecting now and then. As soon as I got the Wi-Fi extender I didn't need the New antenna

I am a it pro and personally I would save your money. I have use a bunch of different antennas and I have seen very little change. a better access point is a much better option. if you are trying to go between building I like engenius outdoor access point if it is inside I like a dlink dap1522. if you use either of theses you want to set them up with a static ip they are much easier that way,

Hi Jo. I tried 3-4 of the indoor guys. Not. We live right on the ocean, with Mt. Soledad blocking the world. We use the internet for a lot of our music, and also enjoy stuff not on the internet. So fairly inexpensively, I got an aluminum tower for one of the back balconies, and a big 28 dollar antenna. Works, A -. Search the net for the antennas. There are tons of suppliers. Mostly in the southern states.

If you need an outdoor antenna I don`t think an indoor antenna will be strong enough. I had a flat thing too and the rca one is so much better as far as the picture goes but picking up channels it isn`t so good. I wish you luck.

Depending where you live, instead of hooking up to CATV you can use the antenna provided. I found the antenna inside buildings does not work well.

Unfortunately, the answer is no. These antennas will only help you connect to wifi access points/routers. Clear internet uses cell phone towers/satellites to provide their internet service. Cell phone towers send and receive different frequencies than wifi signals, which means you will need a different type of antenna in order to connect. Best of luck!

No antenna is required but being near to your wireless router should help. Hopefully there are not a lot of obstructions and especially no steel walls in the way.

You will need a wireless router that has removable and antennas. Unscrew one of the antennas and install the directional antenna in its place. It does not matter which antenna you choose to replace with the directional antenna. Just to let you know directionally antennas work best in pairs the best use of them is do you have one on your wireless router and then pair it with a wireless access point that has the same directional antenna. Most devices (cell phones tablets laptops) May be able to receive the Wi-Fi signal from your router they may not have enough power to send the signal back to the Wi-Fi router

That is an interesting thought. I assumed you need this antenna, the amplifier, and the indoor transmitter antenna. The connection is BNC.

This is only an antenna. It allows you to reach wireless networks at a greater distance. If it is not YOUR Wi-Fi that you are connecting to, you may need a security key code. If it is an unsecure network, you are susceptible to hacking, viruses, etc.....

Sure. Your antenna will be connected to the TV "source" on your remote list. The smart TV uses an different source selection, using a pathway to your internet source (modem). You are using the antenna as a replacement for your TV cable, but must maintain a internet connection to use the smart TV feature.

Trial and error would be your best bet. If you have a previous cable provider you can connect the antenna in to the input and send the signal throughout your home of course that would mean mounting it outside. I did this and it worked great.

Yes..the antenna can be used indoor..the antenna is primarily for outdoor purposes though..of course you would have to purchase the correct cable if you are using a wifi adapter that has a rp sma reciever...you wouldn't find much of difference with this antenna as compared to a typical 9dbi indoor omni directional antenna...i have tried this antenna indoor for a while.. the same result i achieved with all my other indoor omni directional antennas....next problem include fixing it to the wall with the correct accessories since the antenna is pretty long. have a go with it IF YOU WANT TO EXPERIMENT and see how it works!

You just need a good signal from your carrier outside. Make sure you place in a central location inside. Works great. No internet required.
