Will this antenna work if I place it on top of my entertainment center-about 6' feet away?

Yes, it will work at 6' away if you connect it to your receiver with a cable. You will need a cable with a 3mm jack for the Terk antenna, the other end of the cable is whatever your receiver uses for the AM antenna input. The 3mm jack and cable are standard stereo head phone type. The Terk antenna will couple nicely without a cable to a built in antenna in your receiver but it needs to be placed within a few inches of the built in.

Dave here- I am not sure- it seems likely- I still can't get all the stations that I like in one setting. I must still dial in 2 sets . I'm referring to preset stations. This sure works better than the antenna AM that comes with the Receiver.

Will not work if outdoor antenna and indoor antenna is not at least 30 feet apart.I tried and had to sell this with a loss.

I have an identical situation and it works very well at least 200 feet away. Hope this helps.

This antenna should work fine. You may have to adjust the power setting to keep the levels within fcc limits.

I installed mine 6' above the floor and the remote works just fine from every position in the room. I don't think you'll have any issues.

It will probably work for short distances, but why waste your money on the wrong antenna?

The cable is about 8 feet longyes you can add an extension but I 'm not sure if this will affect the reception

I've had it about 6-8 feet away and it seemed ok. I think it would work further away.

It will work, but the antenna will not stand all the way up. It will still show a good image or video

i dont think it will work. even if you didnt have any kind of walls or interference it wouldnt work for more than 200ft. at least that is my experience. in my apartment it doesnt work for more than 30ft because its a concrete building

I don't think so. Mine is on top my big entertainment center 20 feet from a window.

No, it's not meant to reach that kind of area. I'd call Wilson. They're support is really great. They may suggest something like this with different antennas or they may suggest a home sized unit.

That's where mine is. If your roof is wood and asphalt shingle AND you can get it high enough, it should be fine. I pull every channel that is available in my area (50 miles) which equals 36 channels. It does a very good job and my antenna is just 13'8" from ground level. Love the High Def reception

It should work just fine. Basically, these are just gain antennas in the 2.4 GHz band, and will send the signal farther. The standard antenna I used did not get the signal there (about 50 ft.) When I used this antenna, it made it just fine.

I doubt it. I had it attached to the top of a window pointing in the right direction and it was still flaky. You want a clear shot and as high as possible. Antennaweb is extremely optimistic in my experience.

I couldn't get it to work with line of site 10 feet from my TV. So my guess would be that the answer is no. I have 40 years experience in RF electronics and couldn't for the life of see why it wouldn't work, but I returned the unit and gave up. I also have a Masters in Computer Science and the software installed find, but could never actually get the unit to connect. I hope this helps.

Yes. I mounted it in the attic and it works well. Our local stations' transmitters are pretty closely clustered and about 35 miles away (in Raleigh). I recommend the use of a compass (phone app works) and zip ties to get the antenna pointed just right.
