I describe how to EXTEND THE CABLING to suit your needs... Purchasers need to know this works. - Works exactly as described! Although the cable length is rarely long enough for many rooms/homes, I SIMPLY ADDED MORE CABLE. Did a little tech research and purchased a 20ft. Monster Cable (Just Hook It Up! Series). This is an RG6 double-shielded digital video cable with F-Pin connectors, CL3-rated for running thru walls. Sure, any digital video cable will attach to the Winegard. But a double insulated cable protects the amplified signal from degradation. So choose one wisely. Mine cost $15 at Menards. I believe you could go with longer runs; I bought the minimal length needed. The signal will weaken as the overall length increases. 10 ft difference is no big deal, 100 ft is. To connect the cables I purchased a Male-to-Male F-connector block. Threads on both sides. Again any connector will physically connect the two cables. But we don't want to damage the signal. These connectors have bandwidth ratings, and I purchased one with a 3 GHz rating for $3 at Menards. Keep it all apple-to-apple and you'll be a happy camper. I also needed to extend the power cord. Winegard is using a small AC power block with a USB 2.0 cable attachment. This cord is a whopping 36". USB 2.0 specs allow for 16 ft max lengths. So we're safe in using a 6, 10 or 15 ft cable. Make sure you get a USB 2.0 Male-to-Male Type A to Type Mini-A (not Micro, thats's even smaller). This cable type is used with a lot of Tablets. If you just need 6 ft you could possibly find one at a dollar store. My 10 ft was $3.82 at desertcart. These add-ons allowed me to run the antenna out of the living room, thru the hallway, and thru a bedroom to it's outer wall. I drilled holes to route the cable, running along the wall/ceiling corners. (1st hole behind the TV, so no cables showed in the living room). You need to position the antenna close as possible to the Broadcast Antenna's general position (relative to your house). Just do some googling. And yes, the sticky tape provided for antenna attachment might last 6 times. So look for some high quality double-sided tape (like 3M stuff) or just press a couple of push-pins or tacks through the dead stickless tabs. My Broadcast Antenna's located on the far side of the next town, maybe 30 miles. I'm getting 9 beautiful channels (cause that's all they're transmitting). All for a one-time purchase under $100. Of course, you COULD go to BestBuy and spend $300... Review: Performance is excellent but before you buy this or any OTA antenna ... - Performance is excellent but before you buy this or any OTA antenna you need to check a few things first. 1.) Check on one of the TV station websites to find the locations of TV stations in your zip code. 2.) Make sure you have a place in your home with a direct line of sight towards the physical location of the TV stations. You can use a compass or an App on your phone to determine which side of your house faces the stations. If you look out that window & see a building blocking your view in that direction (or) you do not have a side of your home facing the right way don't bother buying this or any other indoor antenna because it's not going to work. 3.) Once you've figured out you do have a clear line of sight form a window or wall the window is the best place to put the antenna but a wall will do. 4.) From the window to your TV then is the antenna coax cord long enough? The Antenna cable on this unit is 18.5 feet and is the longest of all of them. Consider having to go around corners or behind furniture. If the distance is longer than the cable then plan on getting or making another coax cable to make up the shortfall. 5.) You'll also need to hook up the amplifier & that is inline on the last 5ft or so on the antenna coax cable. The amp power supply cable is only about 3 ft long so you'll need to have one long enough to get from the amp to the power outlet on the wall (buy on desertcart if needed). 6.) The performance is directly affected by which side of the antenna is facing outside so start with the Black side. If the color white side facing into the house is a concern (do not) try to switch it around until you completed the reception tests. 5.) If you have answered everything so far to the good buy this one. 6.) Once you get it an are ready to install place in the window or on wall only using scotch tape with black side facing outside & connect your TV and the amp. 7.) Scan for channels & then check every channel you find for the picture quality. If you are getting all the channels you want & are happy with the picture you are done. If not then the long task to get the best reception must be preformed. 8.) To find the best signal you will need to start by placing post-its to mark the current location. 9.) Move the antenna (no more) than 1 inch upward on the y (vertical) axis & re-scan channels & check picture quality because both will be affected. 7.) If this 1 inch vertical movement makes thing better then mark new height and move 1 inch left & re-scan channels & quality. If the 1st vertical movement makes thing worse move back to the original height & try moving 1 inch left & re-scan channels & picture quality. If it gets worse move 1 inch to the other side. Getting better in any one direction means keep moving marking the position as you go until it gets worse then go back that one inch increment. So the process involves moving in only one direction until it degrades then back one. Then move on the other axis one inch until it degrades. The signal is digital so you'll either see the channel or not. But you can measure how good the signal is by how many pixels you get.If the signal is real weak you'll see blocking in the image constantly. Eventually you'll find the sweet spot & the best possible reception. Now if you really can't stand the white side of the antenna facing inward now's the time to flip it around so the black is facing in & re-check the stations & picture quality. If you lose any of your stations or picture I'm afraid flipping it back around is your only option. Again black side facing out gets best reception. ## Features - METRO RECEPTION: Designed for urban and suburban environments, the FL5500A picks up VHF and UHF over-the-air signals at a range of up to 60 miles, delivering consistent access to local channels. - ULTRA-THIN DESIGN: The FlatWave panel construction has a low-profile dual-color aesthetic that blends into most home interiors without complex mounting hardware. - SIMPLE INSTALLATION: Connects directly to most TVs via coax inputs with no tools required.

I live within a 35-40 mile radius of downtown Chicago area and this antenna was able to receive 40 channels (out of 67 available based on antennaweb.org for my zip code) from my upstairs bedroom on a 1080p Vizio LED television. I have the antennae hung up behind a picture frame above the television so only the white cable shows through. This didn't seem to enhance or degrade the reception at all. Most stations are super crisp and of HD quality but there are some that are not broadcast in HD so they're a little grainy. I had initially hooked up this antenna to my 780p Panasonic television which is directly downstairs from my upstairs bedroom and I was only able to get about 27 channels. Downstairs, I just couldn't seem to find a good ideal spot for the antenna and no matter where I placed it, it just didn't receive as many channels. This could be that my television just couldn't read/pick up signals beyond 780p unlike directly upstairs where the cheaper television was a 1080p and able to read those signals. I used the included USB cables for both televisions instead of the 110v adapter because it seemed more convenient so I can't say if testing with 110v would have helped with the amplification/signal. In any case, I don't believe the problem rests completely with the antenna because it was able to receive more or less channels based on my location and my own television's capability. Once in a while, the signal will burst and get pixelated but it's not as often as I thought it would and it only happens for certain channels or during a storm or inclement weather. For the $60 that I spent on this device, I'd say it was money well spent because I was paying more than that per month for "200" channels that I barely watched but only a handful - NBC, CBS, ABC, WTTW, PBS...although I do miss some channels like The History Channel and Discovery. What's interesting is that I could only get either 7-1 (ABC) or 5-1 (NBC) but never both. I could, however, get 7-1 (ABC) and 59-2 (NBC2) which is just as good. Overall, I would definitely recommend this antenna because it really does work in the Chicagoland area and has helped me to cut my cable cost a lot (i.e. $80 incl fees x 6 mos so far). I'd give it a solid 4.8/5.0! -09/22/2014 ## Frequently Bought Together - Winegard FL5500A FlatWave Amped Digital HD Indoor TV Antenna – Amplified, 4K & ATSC 3.0 Ready, High-VHF/UHF, 60 Mile Range, Dual Color, 6 ft Cable - Philips LTE Filter for TV Antenna, Filters 4G 5G LTE Signal to Reduce Interference and Pixilation for Clear Digital HD TV Reception, Frequency Range 5-608 MHz, Indoor Outdoor Installation, SDW1520/27 - SiliconDust HDHomeRun Flex 4K ATSC 3.0 NextGen TV: 2/4 Tuners HDFX-4K --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1328004-flatwave](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1328004-flatwave) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
