This is a some (all) assembly required instal. Antenna comes disassembled. Antenna is easy to assemble with a standard Philips screwdriver; however, it takes about 15/20min to assemble. It comes with one 10m (30’) coax cable that goes from the controller to antenna. Controller has one short coax cable to connect to tv (labled “TV 2”) and a coax connector for second tv. To wire in the second tv you will need another coax cable. I ran a coax around the house about 60’. I’m sure it is well beyond the max recommended length. Regardless, it works AMAZING on both tv’s. We are approx 40miles from the broadcast source on most channels and as far as 65 from others. We went from receiving less than 20 channels to over 50!
I would have given 5 stars in all areas except that tuning can be frustrating. The antenna moves quickly and easily however, the remote is IR so you must have direct line of sight to the controller. We finally resulted to one person inside watching tv while the other watches the antenna orientation. The antenna does not always turn the direction you expect. It does limit it’s movement so that the antenna swings to a limit in each direction. I left extra coax cable so the antenna can move freely.
We are very happy with the results. We plan to buy another to mount on our bus (Rv). Here is a list of the extra tools needed to install:
1. Ladder (Roof access)
2. Cordless drill (to install mount on roof, assemble antenna, Drill hole to run coax into house.
3. Long screws to mount (Comes with concrete anchors and two lag bolts to mount. I used my own)
4. Pliers to connect coax
5. Coax cable mounting clips (secure cable to house)
6. Ground cable / Stake (For safety it is recommend that you run a wire from the antenna mount straight down the side of the house into a ground stake. This protects your home from a lightning strike.
7. Coax cable (length to second tv)
8. Coax barrel connector if you need to connect multiple coax cables
Love the results. It exceeds our expectations. Would buy again and recommend to others.
