My Over The Air signal (free!) TV antenna (inexpensive!) was working fine until recently. I could not pull in all the channels I used to be able to see. I moved the antenna from spot to spot but the moment I sat down or changed the channel, it was all over. I was about to buy a powered antenna as a last resort when I had the AHA! moment to buy this cord. I am SO glad I did! It's long enough to run almost the entire length of the house. Now my antenna can sit in the garage where I get a great signal and the TV is way over on the other end somewhere. One thing I had to have explained to me is that for cords like this, you must buy a female to female extension coupler (and they're very inexpensive too). For some reason, all these cords are male to male. I kept looking for female to male, right? Plug the male end of the antenna into the female end (marked "input" or "antenna") of the TV (or DVD player, or blu ray player ....). And BTW, I think we used to call the ends RCA plugs - but the actual name is, F-type? This cable must truly be shielded as they claim. It runs right past the kitchen (and microwave which seems to interfer with the digital signal) and runs behind lamps, down inside walls, and behind the tv where there are all sorts of other electrics and cables. The picture on my 55" TV couldn't be better. I do not have cable or satellite TV, but the TV is not so old that I have to use an analog to digital signal converter box either. I would highly recommend trying this if you are having trouble bringing in an over the air (digital) signal. Sometimes there's interference between you and the TV station and this just might be a really inexpensive fix. (Also look at antennaWeb.org to find out where your tv signals are coming from.) It is not a miracle cure, but if you are able to experiment with the placement, directional facing and height of the antenna, you might think it is! I am just that impressed! And SO lucky I thought of this.
