SCVJeff: Thanks for the response. I wondered about that, but didn't know that it was possible to over amplify. There are some powerful stations about 50 miles from my home, I used to be able to pull one of them in before digital, I will see if I can still do it with the amp on. I know the converter will not pull them in by itself.

Just now getting around too installing the box. My question is I only have a single cable on the outlet of the junction box in the
mh. It appears that I need to hook the box to the inlet side of the junction box where the antenna box. If I hook to the outlet side all functions would be going through the converter box. Please advise. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Most functions will be handled by the converter box; it is what has the digital tuner.

How many TVs do you have? If two, your output must be going to a splitter somewhere. If two, then you will need to converters or both TVs will have to watch the same channel.

If you can trace the cable from the TV back to its first connection, that is where you would insert the converter, if it is only to control that TV. Cable from TV to the converter's output. A new cable between the converter's input and wherever the cable form the TV was previously connected.
