Decent product for the right setup
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my mom thinking it would help her cut costs. Didn't really work out that way. If you hyave trees around your home, especially tall ones, don't bother. This is a decently made antenna, but it has the same shortfalls as others. If you want to make the most out of this product, you have to lookup your local broadcasting stations relative to your home and then orient it in those directions as high up as possible. I can only assume this antenna is best utilized by mounting it on your roof and paying an arm and a leg for a very long coaxial cable.

Didn’t work for us
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got better receptions with my indoor leaf antenna. Returned this one. With all antennas it depends primarily on your location. Easy to use

Cut the Cable!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this antenna to cut the cable. For my purposes, it works great. I get all local channels and more clearly from inside the house. Considering mounting in attic or outside to see which location gives best signal. (Didn’t get ABC 7 in NY). Just be sure that cable channels you still want are available streamed or subscription. And check which broadcast channels are in your area.

Less exspensive than cable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We aren't big tv watchers, so paying a $200 bill for basic tv was insane!! This antenna gives us local channels that suits my family fine!!

Need this to cut the cords.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works wonderfully. Don't really know what to consider as the front of the product to us as pointing direction. It's in my attic attached upside down and works great. I have it split in two areas and no problems. When I point it though that is the weird thing. I thought what looks like the face is what I should use to point. Notice if I use the rabbit ears as the point I get better reception. I can't complain about anything I'm getting the channels I want and good picture.

Pretty good but not great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this to connect to a new Samsung QLED. Installed it in the attic space behind the TV. Received most of the network channels but not all. I ran new coax to connect the TV to my existing Mohu Air 60 that is installed in the 2nd floor attic. I was able to receive at least 10 more channels. Might be driven by the mounting location. It is a medium size, so may be a option depending on your mounting location.

Posted .Signals will vary based on where you install the antenna. The antenna must be facing the broadcast towers or the largest cluster of broadcast towers to receive TV signals. You may just need to turn the antenna. You can download our AntennaPoint app to your iOS or Android phone to see the towers and help you aim the antenna better. If you need any assistance, call us toll-free at 877-825-5572. We;re available 7 days a week.

Great Antenna
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this antenna because of its good reviews and its stated ability to receive stations 60 miles out. I live between Tampa and Orlando which makes me about 30-60 miles away for most over the air channels. I placed it in the attic pointing northeast towards the Orlando stations and picked up 80 channels. While some of these channels still had weak signals, I was able to get the channels I wanted. I also connected this antenna to an Amazon Recast which worked perfectly for viewing and recording.

It does what it claims
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wanted reliable reception of all full-power, local TV stations. We live 12 miles (line of sight) from all Detroit TV towers. Was able to easily mount in attic. I did have to reposition the antenna several times for optimum reception of all stations. If you need to receive stations that transmit on the UHF and VHF-high bands, this is a solid antenna. It’s surprisingly lightweight. Even though it is mostly plastic, it should perform well for many years, sheltered from the elements, in the attic.

Great Reception.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have tried several indoor antenna including the most famous Mohu and highly rated no brand models. Unfortunately none of that worked and I would either receive Fox or ABC, but not both at the same time. Researching the location of the towers, they are all within 30 miles, but still no luck. Here comes the NFL season again, am I glad I gave this antenna another try. I am glad to report, I receive all the major channels, NBC, FOX, ABC, CW. I have set it up on my patio and it works great. I added a Table to receive whole home DVR. It works perfectly for my use case. Highly recommended.

not worth it!
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am having a hard time getting the channels I thought I would get. I only have this antenna and can't get all my locals and the other channels keep fading off on me. I am disappointed with this purchase overall.

Good reception!

Great antenna and customer service.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to replace our old cheapie antenna with directional remote. Tried another cheapie but couldn't get it to work as well. Got this antenna and instantly detected many more channels. However we were still having problems getting some major local stations. Contacted Antennas Direct and they were extremely helpful with advice on antenna placement and best equipment set up. Now we're getting much better reception and all the local channels we need.

Amazing antenna
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this antenna to try and get away from cable tv. Ended up mounting it in my attic and scanned for channels. I was amazed that I received 138 channels. Very good quality. Haven’t yet decided to break away from cable yet. Would recommend this product.
