In my experience, these amplified antennas are crap unless you live close to the broadcast towers. If you live in a house, spend about 20 bucks for a Yagi antenna and put it in your attic pointing in the general direction of the towers. Bring a small TV up in the attic with you and connect it directly to the antenna while you position it. Then connect your house cable. If you find that you get a poorer picture downstairs then you did in the attic, it's possible you have too many splitters. Splitters reduce your signal even if not all legs are in use. And the more legs a splitter has, the more loss each leg sees. So if you have a 4 way splitter with only 2 legs used, replace it with a 2 way splitter. If you have a 2 way splitter to a room where the cable connection isn't being used, replace the splitter with a barrel connector. It's better to prevent signal loss than to use a signal amplifier farther down in the signal chain, because when you add an amplifier, you're also boosting any noise that might have been picked up. If you must use an amp, get it as close to the antenna as possible (which gets us back to the original crappy amplified antennas, but the problem with those is the actual antenna, not the fact that they're amplified).

I don't know much about this stuff, but maybe he's implying if your house is already thoroughly wired with coaxial, then it'll be able to pickup a better signal
Put the tip on a piece of metal that's connected to your house. For example, like a screw from a light switch faceplate

Free WM+ trial. Just make a new account with a diff email. Can even take a 3 question survey to extend the trial to 30 days
I think @mrcuba means you can run a cable from your TV to the wall coax port, then your whole house is effectively acting as an antenna in the same way this little black thing is acting as an antenna. Interesting idea, I'm curious if it works

You'd need a splitter to attach to tv as well
