It comes with a separate inline amplifier powered from a USB port, and a cable listed at 10 ft, so the panel can go on a wall or window some distance from the set. Easy Life Markets sells it as one antenna with one amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Television_antenna\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003etelevision antenna\u003c\/a\u003e receives the channels that broadcasters transmit over the air, which cost nothing to watch once you have the equipment. In many places those broadcasts are in high definition. A flat panel like this does the same job as a set-top aerial, without the rods, and it is light enough to fix to a window with tape or adhesive pads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × flat panel antenna with attached cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × inline signal amplifier with USB power lead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA USB power adapter is not listed.

We do not repeat that figure, because no indoor panel can deliver it. Broadcast television travels more or less in a straight line from the transmitter, and hills, buildings and the curve of the earth stop it. A small indoor antenna is a sensible choice when you live within reasonable reach of a transmitter and get a usable signal indoors. If homes around you rely on large rooftop aerials, an indoor panel is unlikely to replace one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe supplier also describes the antenna as supporting 4K and HD. An antenna has no resolution of its own. It passes on whatever the broadcaster transmits, and the TV's tuner does the decoding. If a channel is broadcast in HD and your TV can decode it, you will see it in HD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWill It Work with Your TV?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe tuner.\u003c\/strong\u003e The TV needs a built-in digital tuner for the broadcast standard used where you live. Standards differ from region to region. Most TVs are sold with the right tuner for their market. A monitor, or a TV without a digital tuner, needs a separate set-top receiver.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe socket.\u003c\/strong\u003e Look at the antenna input on the TV.

Find the best position first with temporary tape and fix it properly once you are happy with the scan. The supplier lists a wide working temperature range but no weatherproof rating, so use it indoors and keep it dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho It Suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHouseholds that want the free broadcast channels without a subscription, people adding a second TV in a bedroom or kitchen with no aerial point, and renters who cannot fit a rooftop aerial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many channels will I get?\u003c\/strong\u003e It depends entirely on what is broadcast where you live and how strong the signal is indoors.
