QuestionCan I get local sports with this antenna?
Asked 1 year ago by Anonymous.
- Answer You are not going to pick up ESPN or Fox Sports or any of the dedicated cable sport channels. But when games are broadcast on broadcast channels (CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox) like they often do during college football and basketball season, you can get them via antenna. Also I think most of the NFL games are on the national broadcast networks.

QuestionWill this antenna work with the Tablo 4th Gen DVR?
Asked 1 year ago by PGSusan.
- Answer Of course it will work with your gaming device, it is just an antenna that will receive the digital signals sent out by broadcast station within a 40 possibly more mile radius and convert them through your gaming device or cable box or whatever conveyance you use to transmit them to your TV or even directly to your TV. Just an antenna

QuestionAfter the antenna is installed, what are the next steps to getting network TV like ABC, CBS, etc? Thank you!
Asked 1 year ago by Camille.
- Answer It depends on your particular TV, but for practically all modern TVs, it goes something like this: Press the "menu" button on your remote, and look for something like "channels" or "channel scan" and follow the prompts on your TV screen. Your TV will scan for the channels your antenna can receive and store them in memory. Then you can scroll through them for your shows. Some TVs may create an on-screen guide for you. You can also use your smartphone or tablet to search for tvguide.com to obtain your local OTA (Over-The-Air) listings.

QuestionWe live in an area where internet isn’t available. Will this work for us?
Asked 1 year ago by Pattyg.
- Answer The advertised range is 35 miles, though it seems to get stations up to 60 miles in my area. So it depends on how far you are from the TV station transmitters. This may not be best for rural residents who are far from those transmitters, or have high mountains between them and the transmitters.

QuestionAfter 10 months of working properly, the antenna is no longer connecting to any channels as of a few days ago. I can pull up the menu but when selecting channel, the screen stays black rather than a temp black screen before connecting.
Asked 2 years ago by DennisD.
- Answer Look for a break in the Coax cable. Try attaching a different antenna; if that antenna also can not get any stations, then the problem is most likely your TV, TV tuner, or Tuner software.
