Most of the transmitters we care about are located 20 to 30 miles away. We pick up all the major VHF and UHF channels in our area (about 30), plus more than 50 channels with numbers above 1000. We don't need WiFi to get reception. A few comments. 1. If you have a clear line-of-sight to the TV transmitters, the dual antenna should be adequate. Since we live in a hollow with low hills and trees between our house and the the TV transmitters, we found that the quad antenna is worth the extra cost. We get good reception most of the time. Reception is not so good in heavy rain or snow or on windy days. 2. We also found that using a good quality RG6 quad shielded cable makes a difference. The 'Cable Guy' claims that a RG6 cable has lower loss and reduces susceptibility to interference.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.My TV stations are almost 4o miles away. I get ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS and several other channels. Very clear picture and sound with no lines on the picture - no interference. Oh by the way, I also had to have an inexpensive 115 Volt power amplifier (from Walmart) connected at the output of the antenna and then the output of the power amplifier connected to three (3) TV sets. All TVs have excellent picture and sound. One of the TV is approximately 30-35 feet from the antenna. Note, the antenna will have to be installed with correct orientation towards the TV stations. My installation was done by a Geek Squad technician from Best Buy. The first tech was no good. The second one was excellent.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It depends on your terrain and how high you mount it. I pick up channels about 60 miles away and have mine mounted at about 16’...not above the roof. It’s not a miracle device, but if you’re in a pretty flat area, I’d think you wouldn’t have a problem up to 100+ miles away! Use one of the antenna coverage apps to check further!!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This antenna has a 70+ mile range. You can look at our transmitter locator to see how far away the ABC tower is from your location and also the number of channels available to you in your surrounding area. You DO NOT need WiFi to use an antenna. Type in your zip https://www.antennasdirect.com/transmitter-locator.html
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The manufacturer indicates a 70 mile range. I am about 25 miles from the broadcast point in a metro area of about 100,000 people. The antenna pulls a strong signal from 35 stations - including the local affiliates for abc, cbs, nbc, fox and cw. It will connect directly with coax to a television with a coax port.
