The very best amplified TV antenna! The TV50
is designed for a great deal of installation flexibility, depending
upon location, reception conditions and the options available for
indoor or outdoor installation.
The TV50 easily
installs in the attic, garage, exterior home wall or indoors along a perimeter wall. All
that you have to do is temporarily place it in the most convenient place and see where it
performs best. No matter where, the TV50 easily
installs with three stainless steel screws
Included with the TV50
is an exclusive "One Wire Solution" kit that saves installation time and
requires only one wire entering your home for both DIRECTV and TV reception. A pair of
high-grade signal diplexers are included with the TV50.

- Reception Technology
The TV50 outdoor/indoor antenna is a
patented Horizontally Polarized Half-wavelength design that maximizes
the reception of both VHF and UHF signals. An +11dBswitch-able,
internal amplifier that can aid the antenna in rural locations and
cable attenuation, is powered via an 18V DC Power Injector located
before TV hookup.
-
Orientation
Because the TV50 is horizontally polarized, it must be
installed parallel to the ground or floor. Television receivers in fringe areas, forty to
sixty miles from a transmitter, often suffer from signal weakness. Locating the TV50 as
high as possible on a rooftop ,in an attic, along an exterior or interior wall can improve
reception. When installing the TV50 at buildings with Metal Siding or with Foil-lined Wall
insulation, an outdoor installation is required. Even inside non-metallic buildings,
television signals may be influenced by Large Metal Objects such as appliances, mirrors,
metal doors, metal window frames, or even nearby metallic buildings. Locate the antenna as
far away from these objects as possible.

Reception Pattern
TV50 operates in a Figure-8 Pick-up Pattern. It captures VHF
and UHF signals from in front of it and from behind it. It is considerably more responsive
than omni-directional antennas. However, with the improved range, the antenna must be
positioned so that it faces the TV broadcast transmitters. See the Pick-up Pattern
Diagrams for a detailed description
of the TV50 reception performance versus omni directional antennas.

DIRECTV Hookup
When using the TV50 in combination with a DIRECTV System, utilize
the TV50 One Wire Solution Kit which allows both the DIRECTV dish
and the TV50 antenna to be combined onto one coaxial cable. This
minimizes installation time and need for excessive drilling and
cable runs. Please note the schematic diagram.
The diplexers pass DC current to both the DIRECTV LNB and the TV50's
internal amplifier. A voltage regulator inside the TV50
stabilizes any DC current fluctuation. |
