Where should I install it? At the antenna or the TV end?

As several of the previous answers state, to maximize signal it is preferable to install it at the antenna end. However, in my case, the only feasible antenna placement made doing that impossible so I installed it on the TV end and it works just fine there... vastly improving my reception. Try it either way.

The amplifier cable connector to the TV antenna input and the amplifier connector to the antenna.

It seems to work fine installed at the television. It improved reception of the channels I was already receiving.

Installing it at the antenna end is preferable so that it amplifies the pure signal from the antenna rather than antenna signal plus signal (noise) that "leaks" into the feedline.

Install it high on a wall facing a direction where you get the best reception. Read instructions and visit their website for more information.

LaDonna, There is enough space for your socket for the power cord from your TV. My socket is located under the second cross bar and centered between the two verticle bars. My HDMI runs behind the wall. No wires can be seen when watching the TV. It's nice.

It's connected in line between the antenna and the TV. Coax cable from antenna to amplifier; coax cable from amplifier to the TV. They say to put ithe amplifier as close to the antenna as possible but I have mine in my basement for convenience, works fine.

All I can say is that I have mine installed in a closet under a stairway next to the chimney. I have the antenna vertical rather than horizontal, facing the direction of the primary source of TV signals. If you can receive some signals with a regular antenna, this will improve your reception. If not, find a place where a regular antenna works and install it there.

Depends on signal strength where you live. In our area, we have the antenna setting on top of the TV because we often need to rotate it for some stations with a weaker signal. I suggest you test for signal strength first, and if you find you don't need to rotate the antenna, then attach it to the wall.

Installs between the tuner and the coaxial cable. If you have a DVR unit, you do it for both of the two coaxial cables.

The center of the roof is the best place. Any thing else is a compromise in performance. The loading coil needs to be higher than any surrounding objects for the antenna to work optimally. Being a base loaded antenna, it should be mounted on the highest point on the car. If it is a magnet mount, you shouldn't need to drill any noticable holes. Run the coax into the trunk. They also make trunk lip mounts. I have used base loaded antennas on a trunk lid. It doesn't work as well as the roof, but the loss in performance was only slight. It wasn't night and day.

Here is a stupid answer: don't put your antenna on the ground. The reception will be better if it is high off of the ground. Otherwise, I do not know how to ground an antenna.

Open end(red/black wires) so you can hard wire it. On a side note I hooked mine up in about 20 mins and works great!!!! I did not use the mount that it came with and just drilled my own hole.

Use the 2 outside connections. It doesn't matter which antenna you plug into each of the connections.

In general, near/on the window is best. BUT if you are close to the tv antenna sites (I am 5-6 miles), you can try an interior wall - just retest/scan to see what channels are accessible.The most signal is collected if the flat panel is 'facing' the signal source. Also higher is usually better. Having the antenna flat on a table or window ledge will reduce the signal picked up (which might be OK) - you really have to try in your home.

I mounted mine on a corner shelf just above the TV,(48" Sony on a diagonal in the corner of the room) the round ears are antennas, they don't necessarily need to be straight up, I rotated them around to get the best signal. It is explained in the instructions for the unit. I raised the shelf to be even with the top of the TV. Originally had it sitting on a bass speaker behind the TV. I got decent signal but raising it up put the unit away from all the other electronics and greatly improved things. your may need to move it around and try different positions but the item did do what i expected. Hope this helps.

I mounted mine to the back of the TV. Seems to work fine unless the weather is really bad out. HD channels come in clear 90% of the time.

There are many more factors to consider. How far do you live from the station transmitters? What is the topography of your area? Where will you place the antenna inside your residence?The antenna will receive the signals that are available to it. It's up to you to place the antenna where the signals are best. Buy it and try it. If it doesn't work you can return it and try something else.

Myself just removed the over the air antenna and used extincting hole. Hope this helps

Anywhere! Just has to be on a cable 100' or less from the amplifier that this inserter powers. The power will find its way to the amp just fine. If you still get fuzzy reception after installing the amp, you may need to upgrade your antenna. I use one mounted inside the attic, which picks up the digital TV transmissions good enough that I don't need to subscribe to cable or satellite TV!
