    This antenna is awesome! I replaced one I have had for about 6 years. This new technology has added at least 6 or 7 channels and much more defined picture

    This antenna is simply amazing! I can’t believe I was trying to get live tv without it! I used to have a few local broadcast channels drop in and out which made watching sports aggravating. I live in the DFW area. Now I no longer have that problem! I get way more channels too compared to my flat antenna which is now going in the donation pile. Great device, I would definitely recommend. I have it placed looking out my front living room window but plan on installing it in my attic later.

    Excellent so far. I was skeptical about spending $200 on this when I could get the lesser same model for $149. This has cable, a power boost that attaches to the usb input on tv I did install a 36” galvanized pipe to the mast for more height and it’s great. Ione thing I found out this must be leveled both upright and squared,I downloaded the app to see proximities of antennas did take a few minutes to tweak it but so far after a week in the air I’ve got 84 channels and no pixelating and if anyone is in my area fox 13 is the hardest to pull in I use it as my test when adjusting the direction of the antenna. If anything changes in the next few weeks I’ll let you know.

    From zero channels to 72.

    I had zero channels coming in before I hooked up this antenna. Now I have 72. I'm in a valley in Northeast Ohio and this brings in 72 Crystal clear channels. I'm pleasantly stunned. Well worth the money.

    Best purchase I ever made. This package comes with all you need to install the antenna including 30 ft co-axial cable, an amplifier, splitter and mast. I placed the antenna on the flower bed in the front of my house. The antenna is mounted on the mast and the mast is held by a heavy stone tile that was a decorative piece on the flower bed. After positioning the antenna in the south west direction which is where most of the tv stations are I scanned and received 73 channels including MeTV, CourtTV, CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS NJ, PBS Allentown, FOX, ION etc. Excellent picture quality. Since my house was already pre-wired for cable in the main level and in the bedroom upstairs, all i had to do was run the cable from antenna to the splitter used by cable. Helps me save upwards of $60 every month of cable television

    This was an excellent choice for my beak up with Directs TV, was able to get 70 + channels, used all the old wiring and splitter for the same seven TV’s with no problem. The price was a little high but it pays for itself in one month.

    No need to pay 70.00 a month for local channels, when you can pay 170.00 ONCE! I get over 50 channels and I’m 40 min/1 hr from the network antennas. Now when my streaming service says the game is out of network, I just switch to local on my Roku device and I’m seeing the game.

    Had to get this because the smaller, supposed 60 mile, antenna we bought did not work at all. Got this bad boy and boom! All channels and no issues at all. We live about 40-50 miles from the signal source and no issues at all. Don’t try the little ones if you live outside the city.

    Outdoor Antenna For Receiving Local Stations

    I mounted this antennae outside on my patio enclosure roof; used the app to locate surrounding tv station towers and aimed the unit. I had the GEEK squad come to my home to setup the TV and show me how to navigate the system, which turned out to be very easy, even for me. I have received a total of 82 stations. I used the antennae about a week and after I was sure all was working okay I called my cable supplied and stopped service; saving about $65/month.

    Although a little pricey, I must admit that I definitely got my money's worth. I cut the cord and this antenna does what is expected. I get all of the local channels plus the additional digital ones as well. I opted not to mount outside but love the option if needed. I have no complaints and since I had rewards it actually dropped the price.

    After trying all the different types and brands of antennas, THIS is the one I wish I'd bought from the beginning. I will say, every other antenna I tried was decent for the price, but this is what to get if you want a good connection, plenty of channels, and easy to install! (My advice would be to follow the instructions and you will not be disappointed!)

    This is the best antenna we have ever used in our Pinellas county area located in Florida. We get 108 channels clearly with no problems. We would definitely recommend this particular brand for an outdoor antenna in our area.

    Thanks to the dispute that AT&T has with FOX and WB channels, this antenna was necessary to watch many of the shows, news and sports that we watched on a regular basis. Picture quality and number of channels picked up in a large city was much better than expected.
