I have a ftatwaveamped antenna by winegard serving (2)tvs long cord if i add this this WinegardHDA200amp,would it bring conflict to the already amp?

yes. never add an amp to an amplified antenna. something is going to burn out.

From the manual "If setting up the FlatWaveAmped antenna, connectthe mini coax cable to the"Antenna In" port as shownabove. Plug the mini USBinto the "USB PWR" portof the amplifier. Then,plug the regular USB intothe USB port of the TV orof the 110V adapter. Ifplugging the USB into the110V adapter, then plugthe 110V adapter into a110V outlet". So give it a try and it will likely work fine. Your antenna or TV WILL NOT have any risk of damage.

I would take the advice of the seller below (MST CO.) and not use this with the antenna you purchased. For any one else who has an outdoor antenna, this amplifier works wonderfully. My parents live almost 90+ miles from a television trans. tower and finally have great reception. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Before you change your antenna, be sure that you have a working antenna amplifier attached at the antenna, feeding the signal down the cable to your TV. It also helps to put your antenna higher, such as in the attic, rather than lower. If you have done all this and still don't get all the channels, it MIGHT help to get the Winegard antenna. It is a very high gain antenna, but that also means that it must be pointed level and at the station directly. The high gain is achieved by making the antenna directional, unlike a dipole. Hope this helps.

It looks like the same antenna with the amp installed in line between the antenna and TV. I did not buy the amplified unit because I see all of the TV towers from my window. Like any amplifier it makes a weak signal stronger. But, if you are too close the amp would be a detriment. The amp looks like it adds 15+- miles to reception USB refers to the power plug. You have USB plugs on your computer and hopefully on your TV. With the USB model, the amp gets its power from your TV USB plug rather than having to plug it into the wall socket like the one shown in the photo. Check your TV to see if it has a convenient USB plug before you buy into that.

I had 2 other antennas that were not amplified but they were a different brand (RCA). The 2 Winegard amplified antennas I bought have worked sooooo much better than those 2 other un-amplified ones. But I can't help you to compare the Winegard un-amplified with the Winegard amplified model. I will say I LOVE my Winegard amplified antennas! I have one in the Living room and one in the bedroom and get way more channels than I ever did with the the RCAs that I had previously.

Hello Jeanette. I purchased the antenna for my father, so I can't really help you as to instructions (he doesn't need them). The only suggestion I can think of, is to either contact Winegard or perhaps, ask someone who has put up an antenna. Hopefully, this helped or at least gave you some ideas. Good luck! :)

could be bad, I did the same thing as you wanting to replace my winegard ap-8700, with the cm 7777. got less channels so I returned it, guessing it was bad, just make sure you have the connectors in right place on the pre amp, I still have my wingard but keeps dropping channels, works best when it rains believe it or not

I did the exact same switched but used the Titan power unit. Even using the same power unit, the Titan gave me less channels than the Winegard. I believe that it is faulty electronics within the unit. The unit uses older electronics technology, but according to my husband it is still good. However, there are coils inside the unit. If one of the coils are a half turn off (either too much or too little) it will throw off the units ability to pick up signals. I do not think you did anything wrong. I have read previous reviews and try all of the suggestions and even did the troubleshooting from Channel Master to no avail. It is just faulty.

Sorry, I don't know. I just plugged mine in, a few years ago, and have used it ever since with no problems at all. I might add that the antenna it's attached to is an outside HD antenna. I can say with certainty that quite a number of channels, from the antenna, come in far better with the booster (without which some don't come in at all), but I suspect that its amplifying capabilities may not be enough to help much with a much weaker signal than one gets with the outside antenna. ....You might try Googling the model number, though; there might be something available on-line. Good luck.

I returned mine since it didn't get me more channels then the 2v but I use a winegard lna-200 with the 2v. Antennas direct has a vhf add on you can get from their website

I have a "Jack" antenna head mounted to a Winegard directional mast. This worked perfectly well with the Jack antenna. However do not use any other gain/amplification... I only used this RFL-342 and I did not have my Jack inline amplifier connected. So just use this. No other amplified source.

I would contact Firestik and ask. I used a firestik mount with my antenna. The only concern I would have would be the threads not matching between antenna and mount.

Yes, that is exactly what I am using one of the two I bought to do. And, yes, an amplifier will help you be able to tune in weaker channels as well. I am using an amplifier to do that as well, without it sometimes one of my weaker channels will drop out ... and if that happens at the beginning of a show time it will cause my DVR to skip recording the entire show. So I use the combiner to connect two OTA antennas pointed in different directions and then boost the signal strength. Hope that helps you to solve your problems.

Sorry to hear that. The RCA TVPRAP1R amplifier continues to work very well with my Radio Shack long range VHF/UHF antenna. I live on a fringe area of a large city and this amplifier makes the flaws in reception of digital TV bearable. It also increased the number of stations I get to over 40.

No, it doesn't matter too much. On the device, you will see a schematic so you can see which outlets are capable of the highest current (probably for your amplifier/receiver) and which are electrically isolated from others (I plug my expensive TV into an electrically isolated outlet) With that in mind, use the outlets as you wish!

The preamp unit itself should be placed on the antenna, or any signal gain from the preamp at the antenna would be lost over the longer coax cable. The power for the preamp does not need to be close to the antenna, though. I have the antenna and preamp in my attic, but the power for the preamp is in my basement.
