I understand that the booster antenna inside will be close to your cell phone, but I don't have a good understanding of what goes on with the booster antenna outside on the mast. Is it just receiving signals from the cell tower, or is it also transmitting a stronger signal to the cell tower from your phone. I have read the Wilson explanations, but it's still ambiguous to me.

A cellular signal booster works like this:•detecting and collecting very faint cell signals (much fainter than your phone can detect)
•helping those faint signal bypass various obstructions
•amplifying the faint signals to a useable level
•broadcasting the amplified signals to an interior space – like your home, office or vehicle – so they can be picked up by your phone or other cellular device
When you use your phone, the process works in reverse to send amplified signals back to the cell tower to complete the communication loop.

If it is sending an amplified signal back to the tower, what is to prevent your TV antenna from receiving it?
