- In this video I review the Zapperbox A1 Indoor/Outdoor Antenna by Televes. It features a built in 5G filter, out of band filtering, amplifier with automatic gain control, and separate outputs all in a very low profile design. You can place it on a table, shelf, window, outdoors, or even in the attic.

AntennaMan - Do you know what the capable milage range is on this antenna? Also, does this antenna (ranked #51) work better than the #1 reviewed antenna on Amazon?
@@christophermartin4499 Range is between 30-50 miles. DO NOT buy an antenna based on Amazon reviews as many are fake. See video below: th-cam.com/video/s5ZjxZw-nbk/w-d-xo.html
You say 5G capable what is an attached to inside the house you hook the cable to the 5G connection on the antenna what are you connected to on the other end there's no information I'm still looking for the information for a picture of anything I sent you e-mails I call the company zero response to my comments
@@miamibeachvf there are multiple coax outputs on the antenna. You can use one as a 5G antenna with a router and adapter
, you can use a router or an adapter what are you talking about Wi-Fi routers don't have cable coax cable connection have no 5G capability please explain a little more clearly what do you attach the other end of the cable to inside the house another antenna that admits the 5G signal throughout the house like a 5G cell phone amplifier how complicated can this be is there a pitcher of the all the equipment laid out that you get
I would love to see a part two to this video with an outdoor mount along with a test of the wi-fi and cell phone capabilities. In my opinion you only gave a brief introduction into this antenna's full capabilities.
It's a great small suburban style directional antenna, in the same ballpark as a Televes Dinova, Antop Bigboy, or Clearstream, to name a few, but with more installation options: pole mount, wall mount, desk mount, standalone
I did keep the video relatively brief because that's what the majority of my audience seems to want. If I get too technical, a lot of viewers tune out which hurts the reach of the video. The way I see it, my average viewer is a non-technical cord cutter so I have to cater to them. I wouldn't really have a way to test the 5G aspect of the antenna anyway as I don't have 5G internet.
Wow! Those results pretty much speak for themselves, especially when you go back and look at older reviews for indoor antennas that were clearly better than the previous two. Even the best that I can recall didn't perform this well. Well done, Televes!
Good reception for an indoor antenna. May seem a bit pricey, but better than throwing money away on junk. The big plus is that it can be used indoors or outdoors. Should be a great seller once the word gets around how good this antenna is.
I agree too. Once the word gets out it should sell well. I tested this antenna indoors and outdoors in Miami, Florida with excellent results.
Many other antennas can be used indoors and outdoors too and cost a lot less. The problem with this antenna is that it is 3 antennas in one, so you are paying for two antennas you probably will never use.
I’m fortunate to still channel 31 and 31-2 here in Denver. Great classic shows
Thanks Tyler for another informative video to honestly guide people on their search for a quality antenna.
Good review Tyler I know you have had high hopes for another Televis model and would seem to do decently well in the NYC Market
I bought this when it first came out out and used it to replace a 15-20 year old RCA indoor antenna with amplifier. Bottom line is that the antenna works very well in my case. I live amongst trees 42 miles SW of the main transmitters in North Carolina and had to constantly move the RCA around in my driveway to get the local stations, including one on the VHF band. I purchased the Zapperbox tuner and that helped, but some channels would occasionally fall off, but not nearly as much as before. I then purchased this antenna and it made a big difference whereby the signals are much stronger and I no longer need to move the antenna around to pickup the stations. With this setup I’m now able to watch tv inside the house with the new antenna sitting on a table on my front porch connected with a connector that brings the coax under a window. Overall, the build quality of the antenna seems excellent which is consistent with what Tyler says about Televes products.
Thanks for sharing your experience with this antenna!
Just received my Zapperbox A1 antenna and it works great.I catch all 70 channels listed on antenna web very clear.I highly recommend this indoor antenna.Thanks Tyler for your review.
Thanks for the feedback!
I wouldn't waste my time with an indoor antenna, but I do have outdoor antennas of their products that are outstanding.
If signals are strong enough, one might be able to get away with an indoor antenna but I agree that an outdoor antenna is best.
Hi Tyler. We're from the Scranton/W-B area and because of your video, we purchased the Zapperbox . It pulls in all the local channels + more! Thank you so very much for your informative video.
I'm glad my videos helped you get better reception. Feel free to give a contribution at the link below as I spend A LOT of time making the videos and responding to these comments:
antennamanpa.com/support.html
Does it pull in the Office really well, or just a few seasons of it?
All your reviews and stuff have really helped over the years. Even though I'm on a family share plan for TH-cam TV I still use my antenna to get my local city news.
Props to you! The picture quality from the antenna is a lot better than TH-cam TV plus you get dozens of additional subchannels. Hopefully Me-TV Toons launches in your area. It's going to be awesome! th-cam.com/video/6LtgqmeTx9s/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the review. I might have to get one of those!
Tyler, your take was similar to mine, in that this is a very good indoor antenna, even if just one of the outputs is used. Initially I thought it was expensive for the extra performance, but you have a good take on the value of the features at this price point.
If ATSC 3.0 ever gets back on track, this antenna is ready for MIMO which uses one vertically polarized broadcast and one horizontally polarized broadcast (current) and would use a special dual tuner. This would give the data bandwidth 113 to 114mbs. For reference, ATSC 1.0 has 19mbs, ATSC 3.0 has three times that or 57mbs, ATSC 3.0 MIMO uses both antennas and provides nearly double the 57mbs. Test runs have been performed in both the USA and South Korea successfully.
i've tested several of these kind of antennas on radio scanners and I was able to hear a lot of Railroad audio as well as other scanner traffic with ease on all bands with this
i just ordered the zapperbox using your link. my current antenna (walmart, RCA, $50.) worked great; for 3 months. I hope the Zapperbox works indoors longterm.
Thank you... Love your vids
Thanks for watching them!
I just installed the zapperbox on my roof. I am very satisfied with the picture quality. I used the old direct tv mount. Very easy install. Thanks for the review.
Are you able to use existing satellite cables to watch the ota antenna throughout your home.
Great review. Another very impressive antenna from Televes.
I just set this one up and I am impressed. I had a roof antenna -- Televes Boss DigaNova -- but during roof work it was damaged. It also has trouble getting some stations. Previously, I was using a Mohu Leaf Supreme Pro which got all my ATSC 1.0 UHF channels but couldn't get my one VHF channels (PBS 12.X) and was not reliable for the four ATSC 3.0 channels in my area. I set up the Zapperbox A1, connected it my HD HomeRun 4K Flex DVR and I was able to get all my ATSC 1.0 UHF channels and ATSC 3.0 Channels with a higher signal strength than the Mohu could and I also go my VHF channels to come in. It is set up in a window pointing at most of my towers but still picks up the towers in the opposite direction very strongly (something the DigaNova) had trouble with. Great recommendation!

Just found your channel, love the information you provide. thanks
With signals that high inside you should see what you would get outside.
I ordered one of the Zapperbox Antenna from the Amazon link and when it arrived the antenna had been opened and the parts bags opened with no parts inside of the bags they were banging around inside the box. I sent it back and will order another one straight from your Zapperbox link.
This seems to be a common issue among products purchased off Amazon.
I have another one coming from your manufacture link. This one should be ok.@@AntennaMan

I commend you for not giving up the good fight against greedy cable and streaming services however
Commercials are not an option for some people
Also watching content you want to watch requires streaming services
I simply will not stand for commercials so while I appreciate your info to folks who aren't picky about what they watch or commercials it's something that's lost in this day and age
I love my ZapperBox, but my only concern would be the wind load on this big square antenna, mounted on a pole.
i'd buy it to improve my signal
Seems like a good solid antenna except for in the Philly market with the “TRASH” 6ABC WPVI low VHF signal! Also WDPN METV! Philly is probably one of the hardest markets to pick up everything!
Blame the FCC for setting ridiculously low wattage limits for VHF TV towers/transmitters after the analog shutdown of 2009…
Thanks for the review. BTW, I decided to wait on getting an 3.0 ATSC Nextgen box/TV until the DRM issues are resolved...if it ever does get resolved.
I agree it's a good idea to wait to buy a NextGen tuner.
Won a tv antenna on ebay. Used one and also pay my first used antenna receiver ever
Why can't they just make an indoor TV antenna? I don't want to pay $150 for something that has features I will never use. I need a good indoor antenna for a room where it is impossible to lay coax for an antenna outside or in the attic, due to the design layout of the house..
This might be good for an RV
Yes, it would be great for an RV!
Looks good but the links don't mention the limited time don't mention the $25 off anywhere. Am I missing something? Thanks dude, another great review.
It should be at the top of the page on this link: zapperbox.com/products/zapperbox-a1-antenna
I just keep moving mine. I miss my Pops aerial on a rotor. I have a huge antenna in my attic. I’m too Olde to get up there. All twin axial. Had hook ups in living room and Master bedroom
Boy, that Televes. What will they think of next.
Doing great work
@antennaman Hi Tyler. Will this work well with the ClearStream 4MAX outdoor antenna? Would the 4Max or the included Zapperbox outdoor antenna be better? How does the tuner compare to the Tablo (Gen3) and, possibly, the Gen-4. I currently have the Gen3. I have the Tablo connected to the antenna and send the signal over wifi to the TVs. Will the Zapperbox do that? The Tablo Gen 3 does seem to have some connection issues for me from time to time. I need to reset it several times per week? Will the Zapperbox or the Tablo Gen4 be more 'stable'? Thank you for all the great content.
Very nice!
Looks like this would work great with the T-Moble 5G Modem....
I’m just wondering that is that possible to receive any station from Buffalo in downtown Toronto indoor? As I will live in dorm provided by the school, it’s impossible to set a outdoor antenna
Does this unscramble Univision?! Other channels too… I have a regular antenna with box thingy and lots channels scramble their frequencies. Not fair!!!
You should have tested it outside also and compared the results.
I asked Zapperbox if they preferred me to test it out inside or outside. They suggested inside so that's how I tested it.
We your viewers would like to know how it works outside. Thank you.
Thanks!
Im getting many many channels from a RCA indoor antenna.
I get 50 channels with a coat hanger, that means im a winner in the cord cutter arena.
To be fair I do live half mile from all my major networks towers.
Why dont hangers work like they used to....i get nothing with the hanger and it doesnt even help with other antennas i have
@@motherbug2001you have to use the metal ones😊
@@j.patrickmoore9137 I use a VHF/UHF usb tv tuner pulled directly into a tv and a thick cooper coat hanger.
@@_bob_8170 but those plastic ones just don't work!
Just installed a Trek Indoor Antenna.. Works like a champ here in Arkansas.. Fixing to cut the cord! Nice Clear reception and lots of channels.. We are tired of paying monthly for channels we never watch and losing the ones we do while they haggle over prices with our local channel stations..
What's that got to do with the product he reviewed?
@@Resist4 I seen other videos where he claimed the indoor antenna's are junk. I just wanted to tell him about one we just got and it works like a champ here in AR. A place with lots of trees.
I may be misunderstanding its capabilities, but if it can also receive signals for things like T-mobile wireless home Internet that would make it an item of interest for that growing subscriber base. Many reviews of the service point out that T-mobile (and other wireless internet providers) modem placement makes a big difference. If this can receive those signals that might help with service quality.
Correct, it will help with services like T-mobile home internet. More information can be found on the product page of the A1 on the Zapperbox website.
You just have to hope the placement for optimal TV signal is the same for optimal 5G signal.
@@fearlessfreep true. Although if it's placed outside ,especially higher up) the placement should matter less for home internet (I think).
Well tell now that there looks like a pretty good antenna 😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Just purchased one and it works great.Picked up 70 channels that are listed in my area on antenna web.
@johnfontenot7518 very good 😊👍I'll have to pick me up a
Zapperbox A1 indoor/outdoor TV antenna. By Televes Thank you 😊 👍👍👍👍👍 how much does this antenna cost again?
Please do a review of this antenna outdoors too!
No plans to test it outside as I already made the video review. I've been told by Televes that it works similar to the Dinova Mix with slightly better UHF gain. Basically it's a good small outdoor antenna for fair to strong signal areas.
Thanks for the great videos. This antenna looks very directional, is it? I would like to place it on an outside wall, but concerned that any signals from any direction other than true north (my backyard wall) may be out of reach. I really like that it does not look like an antenna.
The antenna isn't too directional as it's small. Without the reflector, the antenna is actually bi directional. See video below for more information: th-cam.com/video/hTuKRLhpGHA/w-d-xo.html
Good information
Hey Tyler, I have the Philips modern loop rabbits ears but it cannot pick up vhf channels even though it says it can. Can you help?
I had high hopes, only to find most of the stations in Minneapolis have the NextGen locked out to zapperbox
Televes A1 aka Zapperbox A1. Perfect for anything. A flat antenna with reflector unlike Televes BEXIA
The BEXIA was a disappointment. Could not get the low-VHF stations or the low-power UHF ATSC 3.0 channel within the signal map area. This one looks too big to be practical as an indoor antenna.
Antenna Man, Is there a lifespan of a Antenna outside under the elements?
What are its measurements in inches. It looks somewhat large for an indoor antenna, but i can’t find the measurements on their web site
12 in square more or less
Have you seen the new advertisement that claims it picks up satellite signal but works like an indoor TV antenna?
Love your videos. I'm just not sure if an indoor or outdoor antenna will work in my location with trees around my house. I'm not sure if I want to purchase an antenna just to find out.
You should get one of his antenna recommendations
Tyler, I live in a subdivision that does not allow outdoor antennas. I’d like to get rid of my cable bill, but none of the streaming services carries the local channels for my town, Bowling Green, KY. I’ve tried three different indoor antennas and the best of the would only get 6 of the 22 local channels. All the transmitters are within 12 miles of my house. Where I live is relatively flat and there are no tall structures that could be blocking the signal, however I am unable to get the indoor antennas near a northern facing window. My house is made of brick, so I’m guessing that is the cause of the poor indoor antenna performance. Hence I am looking for a recommendation for an attic antenna. You mention using the Zapperbox in the attic, but before I purchase one, I would like to know if there is a better attic antenna recommendation. Looking forward to reading your response. George
I bought a onn indoor antenna bar form Walmart for 18$ did not work good inside but when I put it outside on my patio table just three feet off the ground with no amp on it I received 40 channels .
Antennas normally work best with a clear line of sight to the transmitter antenna - i.e., nothing but air between them. That includes home siding and wallboard. I have a one level home but have to aim through a neighbor's attic with my outdoor antenna.

Tyler, every time I watch one of your antenna reviews, I'm annoyed by the fact that you compare the new antenna to the last 2 antennas of it's class. I realize that this makes it easy for you to generate the comparison figures since they're fresh in you review data, but it's always a moving target for us viewers. It would be much more useful in my opinion to compare the new antenna to the current best-in-class and to an average in class (don't care about worst). That would give us a more absolute comparison, and it can't be much harder for you to keep the best and average numbers around for reference.
My TH-cam channel is supported mostly by views. I have always included the results of the last two antennas to give a general idea of how the antenna performs. If someone wants to see how it performs to other antennas I previously reviewed prior to the last two, they have to watch my other videos. If they chose not to do so, they can either go on my Amazon page for a list of recommended antennas or sign up for my antenna recommendation service.
My question about that though is do the old videos show results for the same stations as whatever the current video is measuring, for a true apples to apples?
Didnt put it up against a Winegard or Channel Master indoor amplified. Which both he said in their reviews had some of the highest gains of their type🤔
If you want to see how this antenna compared to other indoor antennas made by Channel Master and Winegard, you can find out by watching my video reviews of them. I even made a playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLa4W1QMIBkFEsGcm9hiYRhA2zNIsH8TYz.html
Longtime subscriber, first time commenter. Would love to give you a shoutout.
ty
Televes has Antenna Man in their back pocket. He also doesn't compare it to other TOP indoor performers. However having said this, it is a good buy at $30. NOT a penny more.
I don't know what you are talking about. I always show the results from the last two antennas I tested in every antenna review whether it is sponsored or not. If someone wants to see how the antenna compares to other top performing antennas I reviewed in the past, they have to watch my other videos. It has nothing to do with sponsorship but rather how my channel is supported - from views
Thanks
Isn't this the same technology as the Televes Bexia indoor antenna? (Which sells for $60.00).
I am considering purchasing that, largely for its advertised feature of automatic adjustment of the amplification element when necessary.
Specifically, I refer to their website claim that this "automatically adapts its gain in real time to optimize the reception of television signals, ensuring the optimum level of signal is delivered at all times."
Typically, amplifiers have failed me because I'm less than 35 miles from most broadcasting towers and the amplification makes the picture worse with overkill. I get over 140 channels (many duplicates overlapping from different metropolitans) with my nonamplified Winegard flatwave window antenna, but loss of signal and tiling do occur on occasion with some 1080i channels. In my interest in eliminating this, I'm thinking that an automated noise reduction and boosted amplification as necessary can help.
I've noticed that the Televes Bexia antenna mentions a 30-mile radius and not the usual 35-mile radius which I find peculiar. What is the advertised range on this one?
My question is whether you tested this feature extensively enough to observe the automated gain with this device.
This ZapperBox labeled model actually sells for less ($30.00) than the Televes Bexia right from Televes directly.
How many miles does it reach?
Tyler, my Evoca antenna has three (3) connections as you report. It has one 5G port and two TV ports. The two TV ports are labeled "Vertical Out +V" and "Horizontal Out +V". I believe we should use the Horizontal port for broadcast TV, correct?
Yes
@@AntennaMan Thanks!
Will this antenna be compatible with next gen?
Any antenna will work with NextGen TV as long as it's appropriate for the frequencies/signal strength in a given area. What matters is how the antenna is designed, not marketing keywords like "HD, Digital, NextGen Capable, 4K, ect"
Don’t see my comment that I posted so I’ll try again.I just purchased this antenna with the discount but was wondering if the cable that comes with it is big enough or do I need to purchase a bigger one? I know you in your videos you say the bigger cables get better reception that the small flimsily ones.
I would expect Televes to include an RG6 cable instead of a thinner RG59 one.
@caseyhartman7094 No big deal for such a short coax cable. It makes no difference if it is RG59 or RG6.
@@robertogalvez3865 As much as the antenna cost and the negligible price difference between the two, Zapperbox should include RG6.
Thank it did include one.Catch 75 channels with this antenna
@@johnfontenot7518 Indoors or outdoors? What city?
How good is it when it comes to picking up what you like to call trash VHF Channels?
Tyler, can you please tell me how long the cable/cables are? I have a problem with way short cables not reaching my tv
location.
10 foot
What do you recommend for car tv Antenna .? And. Are Omni Antenna good . I’m trying to find one that pick up good maybe a booster with one.
It's a good antenna, but it is disappointing that the amp and included coax are RG59.
Can you plug the USB cable into your TV for power, instead of using the plug?
What is the specs for antenna. The range of frequency? What televes says?
Specs can be found at the link below: zapperbox.com/products/zapperbox-a1-antenna
High VHF + UHF on horizontal polarization, UHF only on vertical polarization. Limited to 608MHz and peaking inside of the current UHF band. Independent preamps for horizontal High VHF, horizontal UHF, and vertical UHF. Strict out of band filtering above 608MHz and FM trap. Bidirectional in 5G frequencies, on the dedicated connector
Nice. Maybe I'm gonna have to get this one for better reception. Televés has been around for a long time and is reliable. Question: Had they not removed the high UHF, channels 70 to 83 would've had a better reception?
The FCC removed more than channels 70-83. They removed everything above 36. TV stations now only have RF channels 2-36. With less TV spectrum, reception is generally worse than it was before the series of repacks.
@@AntennaMan I know. But I meant if they wouldn't have removed those in the 80s
To be honest, higher frequencies would possibly be worse as they get more and more directional and easily blocked.
The higher the frequency, the higher the power. Low VHF requires the least of power, and only a very few would dare go there. That's why the comment
❤how much does it cost
What indoor antenna you reccomend for locals ?
This one. amzn.to/3JLCkMm
So long as it's got HD then it's good enough for me!
There’s no such thing as an “HD” antenna. Antennas are just hunks of metal that pick up frequencies. Any antenna can pick up HD channels
200% correct. Even a piece of bare coax cable works in an área with strong OTA TV signals.
Luckily in my area all stations that I pick up are on the uhf band.
2 questions: How far away were those stations from the testing location? Is the unit multidirectional, or is there an actual front & back to it?
With the reflector installed the antenna is directional with a beam width of about 50º in UHF. With the reflector removed, it becomes omnidirectional, but gain decreases and it is of course more subject to multi path interference. The best way to use it is with the reflector installed and aimed in the direction of the transmitters.
@@jurysdoyler thanks very much! Unless I missed it -- strange that nothing is mentioned as to what the maximum pickup range might be. I'm guessing maybe 30 miles?
@@Lightsngear That's hard to say, it depends upon a lot of factors. As a horizontal TV antenna only, this model is equivalent to a Televes Dinova, Antop Bigboy, or Clearstream 2v, to name a few
Hi Tyler. Any plans on testing this antenna outdoors?
No plans as the video is already published. I also no longer have the antenna. As an outdoor antenna, it will likely work comparable to other basic small directional antennas like the ClearStream 2V, Televes Dinova Mix, ect.
I watched this today and was impressed with the VHF reception you showed. I currently have a cheap 2020 5 start antenna installed in the attic. It works fine for UHF channels but is a little spotty for high VHF, PBS (Channel 7) and channel 25 respectively it gets channel 12 perfectly. All the transmitters are all in the same general area 32 miles away from 32080 zip code. While it does get 7 and 25 on occasion, they are not really watchable. I run it into a 4 channel/port Channel master amplifier (Their newest). I was wondering if this antenna would give better reception all things being equal. I do not want to use their amplifier, I want to keep my existing. Ant help would be appreciated. Thanks
I purchased on and it picks up UHF and VHF channels very well.I pick up over 70 channels with no problem.Well worth the price.
There is one low vhf channel. Frequency 2 21.1
That's not the issue. Channel 34.1 on frequency 32 is only one not coming in.
I am in Las Vegas TV market
Did you use a TV tuner or signal meter as a guide to try different locations for the antenna? If not, watch my video below. th-cam.com/video/1_Cy08x5qeY/w-d-xo.html
This is a great antenna but I don’t like that it was promoted as a atsc 3.0 antenna
Me neither. As you know, any antenna will work with NextGen TV as long as it's appropriate for the frequencies/signal strength in a given area. What matters is how the antenna is designed, not marketing keywords like "HD, Digital, NextGen Capable, 4K, ect"
Where is it promoted as an ATSC 3.0 antenna?
What about low VHF for Philly channel 6?
You stated that we can get $25 off until July 9 but when I go to both sites the price is 149. Is this the price with the $25 off?

What is the range on the zapper box A1 model that is currently on sale for $129. Is the 50 + extender a better unit or is it the same unit. Hopefully waiting on more reduction on prime day.
There isn't really a "maximum range" for an antenna as it depends on a ton of factors. This antenna is probably best within 30-40 miles of the broadcast towers. The A1 is currently on sale for the next few days. After the sale, I'm not sure when there will be another one. If you're eyeballing this unit, it might be best to order it soon before the sale ends.
Tyler my Antop antenna when purchased a few years ago worked amazingly well but not sure why but possibly due to the new integration nexgen 3.0 and 5G start ups went into effect, many stations were now problematic in giving a clear signal in my area.
On Prime Day I took advantage of the Discount offer on the Telves Evoca antenna and finally I again have an antenna I am happy with. I did experience minor issues here with two stations that occasionally gave me brief pixelation issues but they were short lived. I believe it possibly was due to some electrical wave interruption or either coming from another home somewhere close by.
At this time I do not see the need to invest in the zapper box or Home run nexgen device upgrade since the televise EVOCA meets my needs perfectly.
I figure eventually NEXGEN 3.0 tuners may be standardly built into future TVs. 60 channels is plenty to watch and it combines well with my Roku TV' tuners that integrates internet streaming to add on over 100 Chanel to the ROKU TV tuner.
This by far is the most helpful video you have made for my needs, keep up the great work. We all appreciate you very much.
Best Regards from: Salsapete
Tyler, HDHomeRun or Tablo DVR, which one do you recommend? Thanks
I'm really happy with my HDHR, but I bought my mom a Tablo since I think the interface was easier for her to learn. Tablo has a channel guide grid that is similar cable although it doesn't accept number key inputs. Some Tablo models use wifi or HDMI while HDHR requires an ethernet connection. The Table wifi models and HDHR require a streaming device (or TV) that supports their respective app.

CANT SAY ABOUT YOUR AREA..
If Nex Gen 3.0 channels are available in my area can I pick them up with this antenna or do I need to buy a next gen tv?
You can pick up 3.0/NextGen signals with any antenna but you need a new tuner in order to see them. Don't buy one yet as there's nothing to gain in terms of channels and even picture quality. We are still in the very early stages of it.
How do I get an old tv to work that only has an antenna. There is no coaxial input. It only has an antenna.
I did see a video where someone wraps a wire around the tv antenna and then sticks that into the digital antenna. Is this a thing? can I convert the antenna on the tv into a coaxial cable or anything like that?
If you want to improve reception, you would probably have to get a repair technician to open up and do whatever wiring would need to be done. The cost might make it more worthwhile to simply buy a new TV.
So does this mean I can connect 3 tvs with this antenna?
Yes, just use a splitter.
If one is only using the TV output, should the other two outputs be terminated with a dummy load (75 ohms)?
Yes. It comes with caps.
