How to connect coaxial cable to balun of HD antenna

GOT THIS? THIS IS A GENERIC CAM.
WE CAN NOT GUESS CAMS BUT THIS IS BUT ONE. ONLY
AND THEY ARE NOT ALL THE SAME.
SOME HAVE VERY POOR RESOLUTION.
see night vision IR LEDs< yes.

go to TV menu and find the auto program feature and run it and wait until its finished. Yes connect the antenna directly to the coax connection on the TV

you either need this, Indoor Matching Transformer Gold 75 Ohm to 300 Ohm Balun Antenna Coaxial Cable Twin Lead for Off-Air TV Video Signal Component Connection Adapter / Converter
or one of these,

no, the heat means there is a short with your antenna connection u need to check the antenna and its cable. u need to replace the cable and ensure the antenna has a balun if its a closed dipole or loop antenna

May be using one divisor for to get use the box, will be -3db possible

External FM antennas can be had for as little as $7 for the a simple dipole version (looks like a "T") to a highly directional outdoor type for over $150 at your local Radio Shack below:

The simple $7 dipole is a "twin lead" 300 ohm type that many home stereos shipped with because they are inexpensive, take up little room in the box and work surprisingly well for all but the very distant of stations. These antennas are also found for sale in many department and some hardware stores too. Your stereo may not offer twin lead or 300 ohm hook ups (2 terminal screws near the ANT label) but only a 75 ohm connection (like your cable tv connections), in which case, you'll need an inexpensive 300 to 75 (terminal to cable) ohm balun (or matching transformer) like this one below:

or to go the other way - from 75 to 300 (cable to terminal) ohm balun like this one:

Please rate this reply if you found it helpful. Good luck!

1. Check for any loose connections starting at your TV. (Coaxial cables unscrew themselves with vibration...) Check all outdoor connections for corrosion and cut off and replace any cable ends that show corrosion.

2. Check your alignment - (positioning or pointing)

3. Replace the balun a.k.a. 75 ohm matching transformer.

If these don't work, a larger antenna is needed...

with one exception:

That exception is if your signal is too high. If this is the case, change alignment to reduce signal a little.

First, you'll want to make sure that her antenna has a coaxial cable (one of the thick round ones) coming from the antenna. Some older ones have a flat piece of plastic with two wires sticking out. These are less efficient, but if you have one, use a balun (a vhf-uhf matching transformer) to change to coax. You can google "balun" if you don't know what one looks like. Next, you'll need a digital converter box (if you don't have one already). Connect one end of the coax cable to the antenna (or balun) and the other to the jack on the converter box labeled "ant. in." Finally, using another coax cable, connect one end to the jack on the converter box labeled "to tv" and the other end to the jack on the TV labeled "ant. in." Finally, depending on your converter box, you will probably need to "scan " for tv channels. Follow the setup instructions with the converter box to do this. If you don't have the instructions, try googling the converter box company and model number to find the users manual. I hope this helps, and good luck! Sincerely, Der Strom

You don't need a digital antenna; any indoor UHF/VHF antenna will work. The antenna and the TV both connect to the converter box, not to each other.

A standard rabbit ears (UHF/VHF) antenna with flat wire (300 ohm) connections can be hooked up to the coaxial cable that goes to the Antenna (RF in) jack on the converter box by using a balun (Radio Shack catalog # 15-1297, about $8). If you have an antenna with coaxial cable already attached, you don't need the balun.

To connect the TV to the converter box, you need an adapter that has an F jack on one end and a 1/8" plug on the other (Radio Shack catalog # 278-257, about $5). The 1/8" plug on the adapter goes in the external antenna jack on the TV, and the other end connects to the coaxial cable that goes to the TV (RF out) jack on the converter box.

Use coaxial connection for your outside antenna, and use HDMI or input connections for the cable box
