Modern Antenna for indoor or outdoor use.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the design but the stand could be a bit sturdier. Wish I had bought the longer range one but it's price was double this one for only a 10 mile increase in range.

High hopes
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had hoped to improve the quality and number of channels available. My old antenna did a better job and cost 1/4 the price.

Posted .Did you scan for channels on the TV after you hook up the antenna? If you didn't, then you should. This is not an old school antenna where you just hook it up and it works. Digital signals are finicky so you have to get the antenna up high and scna for channels whenever you move the antenna.

Posted .Sorry to hear this... if you are willing to try another one of our models, check out the ClearStream Eclipse at Best Buy. The Eclipse has been named by many publications as the #1 indoor antenna.  http://www.antennasdirect.com/blog/the-legacy-continues-antennas-direct-makes-the-best-antennas-of-2019/. Thank you for writing a review. For those reading reviews, the antenna is 18"H x 4"D with mounting hardware, and 35.5"W with the dipoles raised. Without the dipoles raised the antenna is 10"W.

Worked but just ok.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was hoping that with a newer antenna I would be able to pull ini channel 2 but it got about the same as my 25 year old antenna I already had so I returned it.

Works Great for Me
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I mounted this on the outside of the house to bring in additional channels that I was receiving with my thin, flat digital antenna. What a difference! In my case, I was able to use the same cable from the satellite dish that I removed, so had easy access into the house. I live between 50-60 miles from the major stations and I am receiving all I need. I am cutting the cord as much as I can, mostly because I believe satellite, cable and now some of the streaming services are ridiculous. It's just the principle.

Best of its kind
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After testing several antennas, this one was simply the one that provided the best performance. I installed an inline amplifier, and that gave the boost I needed. Overall may not be the best looking antenna (No one is), but by far is the best performer. Is critical you choose a good location/orientation, and that can be dificult to determined, there are many web sites to help with the orientation, but location is another story, take your time in this.

exceeded
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.we had out doubts till we hooked it up. it had a better picture than the tv did on cable!!! (cable isn't HD as it was an extra cost--the antenna is HD). we received over 30 channels just hooking it up, after rearranging and moving it we now receive 50-56. Excellent choice!

Excellent purchase
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This antenna achieved what I had been trying to do for over a year. Finally I am able to watch all three of the major broadcast channels available in my area along with the other ones that I was able to get. Also it cost less than the ones that would not do the job.

Good antenna
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This antenna was easy to install and does a good job. We can get pretty good reception of about 40 channels within a 50 to 70 mile radius. The farthest away channels sometimes come and go if the weather is not right for good reception, but at other times they are solid. The stations within 40 miles or so are clear and great all the time. I have no complaints. We are not paying the cable bill any longer.

Great for cord cutters
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to install and works good. I'm about 60 miles from the main stations so I probably could have gone up another step in range but this will do.

Great product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Took a few tries to find the right direction to mount it. Once we got the direction right it worked great. Goes in and out when it's windy but that is to be expected.

Good range antenna
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We went with this antenna over the 50 mile one since we live so far from Dallas. Worked great even with some HEAVY winds moving it around and having it not mounted too high. Purchased for the superbowl, was afraid streaming would have been an issue due to bandwith.
