9.An external “separating” diplexer is used to separate the antenna’s VHF/UHF signal from the satellite signal before the coaxial cable is connected to the DBS receiver (as shown in diagram I). Connect the VHF/UHF cable from the external “separating” diplexer DIRECTLY to the TV’s 75 ohm “F” jack for best results! (It is NOT recommended to connect the VHF/UHF cable DIRECTLY to the DBS receiver since it will likely degrade VHF/UHF picture quality.) The satellite signal cable from the external “separating” diplexer should be connected DIRECTLY to the DBS receiver 75 ohm “F” jack. The DBS connection to the TV can be done with RCA type patch cords, which connect the DBS receiver’s Video/Audio Output to the TV’s Video/Audio Input. The best connection, however, is made using the DBS receiver’s S-Video

FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE

• Mount the antenna a minimum of 8 feet	In the attic
high (the higher, the better).

• The ANT2050X is an omnidirectional antenna; however as with any antenna, it performs best in locations where there is a clear path, or a “line of sight”, to the approximate location of the TV transmitters in your area.

Note: Even with the advanced design of this antenna, large obstructions such as canyon walls, mountain sides, and other man-made or natural geographic

objects can impair performance. Therefore, it is best to minimize any obstructions that block the “line of sight” by mounting the DBS antenna on the roof or on the highest possible point.

ANT2050X specifications

The RCA ANT2050X is an innovative outdoor television antenna designed for high-performance reception of over-the-air television signals. Featuring a unique double bowtie design, this antenna offers a cutting-edge solution for those looking to enhance their TV viewing experience without the need for cable or satellite subscriptions.

One of the standout features of the RCA ANT2050X is its multi-directional capabilities. This means that it can receive signals from multiple directions, minimizing the need for constant adjustments after installation. This is particularly beneficial for users living in areas with a variety of signal sources, as it maximizes reception opportunities without the hassle of realigning the antenna frequently.

Another significant characteristic of the ANT2050X is its ability to pick up both VHF and UHF signals. Many modern TV broadcasts occur in the UHF range, but numerous popular channels, especially local broadcasters, still transmit in VHF. This dual-band capability ensures that users can access a wider variety of channels, making it a versatile choice for any household.

The RCA ANT2050X is built with durability in mind, featuring a robust weather-resistant construction that can withstand varying environmental conditions. This ensures longevity and reliable performance whether installed in hot, cold, or rainy climates. Its compact design also makes it suitable for both urban and rural settings, blending seamlessly with various exteriors.

Installation is another area where the ANT2050X shines. It comes with a user-friendly mounting kit, making setup straightforward even for those with limited technical expertise. The antenna can be easily mounted on a roof, wall, or pole, providing flexibility in positioning for optimum signal reception.

Additionally, the RCA ANT2050X boasts an extended range which can reach up to 60 miles, depending on the specific terrain and environment. This extended range capability allows users to access distant stations that would otherwise be unreachable with standard indoor antennas.

Lastly, the antenna is designed for both digital and analog signals, ensuring compatibility with older TV models as well as newer digital receivers. This makes it an excellent long-term investment, future-proofing your home entertainment system for years to come.

Overall, the RCA ANT2050X stands out for its innovative design, versatility, and user-friendly features, making it a top choice for cord-cutters and those looking to enhance their viewing experience. It’s an optimal solution for capturing a vast array of television channels with excellent signal strength and clarity.
