    I bought this to replace one of those old huge outdoor antennas that I have had in the attic for years. I'm building a Home Theater PC system. It works well. I am about 12 miles from the famous antenna farm in Cedar Hill, TX, and I'm able to receive 72 channels. That's not many more than I got with the old antenna, but they all come in solid now. With the old antenna, there were channels I had trouble receiving.

    Not as strong as the upgraded model, but still gets the job done. Bought this for my parents to use with a FireTV Recast. Does the job.

I did used it with a channel master Amplify Adjustable Gain Preamplifier. I have it split with 4 TVs Will recommend with family friends from now on.

    The picture is very clear. Pickup quite a few channels but think I should have gone with the 100 mile instead of the 65 mile to pickup some channels I like that I don't get on the 65 mile. It was super easy to put together and I had it setup and connected in 10 mins .

    Lost reception for two channel 2 and channel 6. Struggled to get them back with a couple of other brands and did not work. But installed this on indoor, and all channels work well. Excellent!

    Out of the box, easy connection and watching TV after a few minutes. I just took my dish off the single pole mounting on the edge of my roof connected the cable and set up the 40 stations.

    I needed a bigger antenna to pull in all 4 locals. I was able to do that with this antenna. I can get 38 channels when pointing in one direction, but only 3 of 4 major networks. Or I turn it a little and get 18 channels and all 4 major networks (which is what we did). A bit large though.

    Got this for an extra TV used with Ruko. Only got 15 channels but did get all 3 major networks - NBC, CBS and ABC. Also got local PBS and some other channels in the Hbg, York and Baltimore areas. Sorry, no sports unless on major networks. Works well for extra TV with NO monthly cable box fee. Also HD channels look good of which most channels were HD on my TV.

    We love it! Sure beats paying for cable! We can get up to 70 channels, sometimes not being able to see all 70 but most of them are clear. Plenty to watch, non the less. No complaints here!

    Just has trouble picking up channels

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The unit is easy to install and is suppose to be bidirectional, but I think maybe not or not as good as it needs to be. I pickup two of the main local channels real well, but one of the other main channel has it problems. It is suppose to have a 65+ mile range, but all the towers are within 15 miles. But it is a good antenna, just maybe not the best you can buy.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      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. Antennasdirect
