Q: What is the miles or reception range on this antenna...?
A: We live 50-60 miles from both major television broadcasting areas and it picked up both areas.
Q: Will it pick up channels 75 miles away?
A: The unit has a 75-mile range, depending on the terrain and other obstructions in the path of the tower transmitter signals. It depends largely on where you live and how close you are to the towers. Please go to Antop USA Signal Maps at https://antopusa.com/signalmaps/?compare=10836,10869,12864. Enter your address with zip code, and the map will show the distance between your antenna and the transmitter towers. While the Antop Signal Map takes into consideration terrain and other obstacles, It does not take into consideration atmospheric situations, as they are a daily occurrence and unpredictable.

A: Box said 80 miles. We easily pulled in stations from 50-60 miles away.
A: Yep. Had the same question because ours was blue also, We moved ahead and all was well and good.
Q: What local channels can it get?
A: Depends on the area and obstructions. Typical OTA channels. I am able to pull in NBC, FOX, ABC, CBS, my20, Channel 50, ION (66) and many of the sub-channels like Bounce, COMET, GRIT, Antenna, MOVIES.
A: I am using it on my Insignia Roku TV. It should work on your older TV, you should be able to replace the current antenna connection at the same location. You may not need the converter box anymore if you have the tv remote, or reprogram a universal remote to the tv, otherwise you might have to continue using the converter box and that remote if that is easiest for you. Remember you will have to rescan the channels after it is connected, hopefully your converter remote gives you access to that menu on your tv. I would also ask the GeekSquad experts at Best Buy, either in store or online chat, take a pic of how it is currently connected to better help them understand.
Q: What is the length of the coax cable?
A: It’s 33ft. Info provided on box, see image below.
A: Hello, the AT-406BV comes with a 33 foot RG6 coax cable. You can use a longer cable if needed up to 100 feet if needed. Understand that the longer the coax run you can lose some signal and if you extend the coax, make sure you get the correct coupler or barrel adapter. You can call us at (909) 947-8883 Monday- Friday 9am to 5pm Pacific Time. We will be closed this Memorial Day. Thank you.
