  • QuestionWhat is "refurbed" about these antenna. Is there a particular part that has been replaced after it was returned to you?

    Asked by Mimi.

    • Answer We know that our product works really, really well for some customers and just will not work at all for others based on their location. In many instances people will purchase an antenna without making sure that they are in a good location to pull in over the air signals first. They try the antenna, see it won't work, call us and we tell them that they are in bad location for signals and have them return it. Once we get it back we open the package, clean the antenna (if necessary) and always test the antenna to ensure that it is 100% functional, repackage it and sell it as "Open Box" or "Refurbished" at a discount. These antennas have the exact same warranty, guarantee and returns policy as a brand new antenna. Since they are not "new" we can't sell them as such but it is a shame for a perfectly good antenna to get discarded when it was never truly used and that performs exactly like a new one that hasn't been opened. Instead we opt to pass the savings along by discounting them!

  • QuestionDoes it have to be put in a window or will it work on a wall? both my TVs are located near the center of the house.

    Asked by chenley.

    • Answer Antennas tend to work their best when they are on a wall or window that faces the direction of the towers but you may find that the signal strength is such in your area that it works fine where you need to put it! Give it a try and return it if it doesn't work for you.

  • QuestionWhat is the local channels range pick up

    Asked by Ben.

    • Answer Our house is just under 30 miles from Mt. Wilson (Los Angeles), where the TV transmitters are located. We have a good line-of-sight location. The antenna is fastened onto a window near the TV set. The reception is very good---better than Dish Networks' standard picture and virtually as good as Dish's HD picture. Each channel displays the signal strength---mostly about 68%. We receive all four networks, two independents plus two or three PBS channels. On a windy day, sometimes the signal goes out for a few seconds and then returns. This seems strange, since the antenna is inside the house and is not affected by wind. We can record programs on our DVR but are limited to a recording a single channel at a time. I'd say give the OTA antenna a try. Installation is a no-brainer and you will know immediately if it works for you.

  • QuestionHow do I know if I’m in a good area for the Antenna

    Asked by Jack.

    • Answer Buy it and try it. My experience in an ideal location (line of sight below Mt. Wilson, California) is that one of these types of antennas gets most stations, while a similar one gets the others. Some passing cars will perturb reception briefly (a few seconds). aircraft for longer (1-2 minute) intervals.. Buying a cheap second TV allows me to watch any OTA signal output, and luckily the high-res. big screen gets all the sports I want to watch, Buying a second antenna and cheap second TV isn't the perfect solution as advertised on UHF television commercials, but it's much cheaper than the swindling cable companies even in a short (three-month?) run.

  • Questiondoes it have a plug in feature for stronger reception

    Asked by spunks.

    • Answer Does it have a *plug in* feature ??? The antenna can ONLY be used connected. It is connected with a bnc screw in connector to both the tv and antenna. What I like to do, is on a nice day, take my antenna and tv out to the park and hold the antenna and swing the tv around over my head in a circle in the park like a remote control airplane/kite. It's a lot of FUN watching the tv this way on a nice Saturday afternoon with the kids in the park.

  • QuestionBefore purchase ,how do you know if you are in a good signal area.

    Asked by Vic.

    • Answer Google your question. You should find a couple websites that offer you a list of stations that you are likely to receive after you input your address.
