This antenna is really nice!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best antenna yet!! For years we didn’t know we should have using the rabbit ear antennas instead of the flat ones! We now can get channel 2! Which we were not able in the past

When Directv dropped local CBS station this antenna from inside the house pulled in over 40 stations including Channel 4 locally the CBS affiliate with picture as good or better than Directv.

Download our FREE app Antenna Point so you can see where the towers are located and aim the antenna towards the largest cluster, of towers, then scan the TV for channels. Remember to scan for channels whenever you move the antenna - even if you only turn the antenna a foot or in another direction. You can also call an Antennas Direct expert and they can evaluate your location and offer suggestions on how to receive signals in you area. It will only be a 10 minute call! We’re here to help 7 days a week, weekends 10am to 6pm on weekends and 9am to 9pm Mon to Fri. Thank you!
Terrible reception
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have been using this antenna for at least 6 months now. It the most temperamental antenna I have ever owned. Weather conditions must be near perfect in order to get so so reception. If the is any wind, rain or snow forget about it, the reception will fade in and out or be completely lost. Save you money and get a different antenna.

Posted .Greeting from Antennas Direct! Most often, there is a very simple solution to receiving the channel you are missing. Try moving the antenna just a few inches and scan for channels again. You may have to do this a few times to find the sweet spot for that particular signal. Also, placing the antenna up higher is another solution to receiving the best signals. You can download our free app Antenna Point to see the towers. Face the front of the antenna towards the largest cluster of towers and scan for channels. If you need further assistance, please call us toll free at 1-877-825-5572 and we will evaluate your home location for you and provide tips on receiving the best signals. The call and support are free. We are available 7 days a week. 9am to 9pm Mon - Fri and Sat – Sun 10am to 6pm Central Time.
Excellent

You may need to move the antenna to several locations to find the best reception. Remember to rescan for channels at every location you place the antenna before permanently attaching the antenna to any surface. If you need assistance, call us toll-free at 1-877-825-5572 and we will evaluate your home location for you and provide tips on receiving the best signals. The call and support are free.
