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: Winegard FL5500A Amped Digital HD Indoor Antenna works GREAT - I live in South Philly about 10 to 15 miles out from most Major Networks and have tested other products in the past that had poor to no reception unless I went up 3 stories to get any type of reception. This product is currently taped on my Ceiling on the 1st floor and pulls in 22 channels when using the amplifier. I intend to move it to my bow window and now leave it on the 1st. floor. I would suggest you load the WINEGARD APP and test to see the best location to place the FlatWave Amped indoor TV Antenna as it works GREAT and will make the installation easy . Outstanding product. ## Features - EMBEDDED ULTRA-LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER FOR SUPERIOR TV RECEPTION – Featuring Clear Circuit Technology with a noise figure of just 1.0 dB, this HDTV antenna ensures clear signals and sharp picture quality.

Outstanding product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the investment! *by G***K on September 22, 2014* I purchased this antenna about 6 months ago and it works pretty well. 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.co.za/products/1328004-winegard-fl5500a-flatwave-amped-digital-hd-indoor-tv-antenna-amplified](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1328004-winegard-fl5500a-flatwave-amped-digital-hd-indoor-tv-antenna-amplified) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
