Customer Ratings & Reviews

Many people do not know that you can receive broadcast TV, free, without a satellite dish or cable service. All you need is an HDTV antenna and a digital HDTV. This Antop indoor/outdoor antenna is attractive and easy to set up. Everything you need is in the box--the antenna, a 40-foot coaxial cable to connect it to your TV, a stand and a vertical mounting bracket (choose the stand or bracket, depending on your installation location). We live in a large metropolitan area, where all of the TV broadcast antennas are in the same location. We used the compass on the iPhone to point the antenna in the right direction, and the reception is good. We connected the Antop antenna to a smart TV and it took just one press of the button and a few minutes to scan for channels, and then we were in business! Pros: easy to set up and use. It does not require electrical power. You can use this as your "whole house" antenna just by connecting additional coaxial cables to the antenna, using a signal splitter. It is lightweight and easy to move. Cons: the antenna is fairly large, so you may be tempted to tuck it away in a corner. It is best used unobstructed, and near a window, if possible.

It worked but I couldn’t get all the channels I am getting with cable, so I returned the antenna.

This antennae works really well once the installation is done! I have a TV in a 3 season room that I use for movies so I hooked the antennae up there. It took quite some time for me to find the best spot to mount the antennae. Simply putting it inside on the provided stand did not work at all, however, my house is surrounded by trees so I figured that would be the outcome. Following the advice in the manual I tried mounting it as high as I could inside and picked up two channels with a weak signal. Once I mounted it outside at the highest point I could it worked great! I am able to pick up 13 local channels in all, 8 in full HD. Mounting was pretty tough for me, the center bolt for the wall mounting bracket was tough to turn, something I didn't enjoy experiencing up on the extension ladder! I also had to drill a hole through the wall fore the cable, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. There is a Philips head slot in the bolt but my drill stripped it out quickly so I had to use an adjustable wrench. After installation however, my wife and I are getting even more entertainment in our favorite part of the house! I am amazed how well it works!

Have been testing the ANTOP AT400 for a couple weeks and it is the first HDTV Antenna that has performed well for me. An important need for my family is to have TV reception during severe storm episodes, tornado watches, warnings and strong thunderstorms. Typically, when we have severe weather our satellite loses reception. We are in fact looking for a lifeline for up to date information during the storms in case we must go into our shelter. The ANTOP design will work for many wanting to install indoors, the flat panel white décor is not distracting and for those with Techie taste will appreciate the look. Although it is a bit tall at 23.5” and comes in at 10.2” in width. Much nicer than the all metal designs for interior usage. My first inclination was to set the ANTOP behind a small HDTV in my office and direct the antenna towards a window facing major city 55 miles from my home. That idea did not fly with the TV blocking the reception, got nada. Next set the ANTOP on a low sitting table in my office with system directed at the city. That worked but only with a few stations locking on strong signal. To my surprise when I sat the ANTOP on a shelve speaker on the same table, which raised the antenna 12”, and directed towards the city the main stations locked strong signals and tripled the amount of stations received. Now we are waiting for an installation team to come to our home and install the antenna outside to expand/extend the range with better signal reception. I am convinced that once the antenna is mounted to the exterior of our home the signal reception will be significantly increased. One note, the antenna should be quite simple to install to the exterior of the home if one is so inclined. For my part I am happy to pay someone to climb the ladder to the top of the house while I watch. Picture reception on my office 1080 HDTV is outstanding, colors are excellent, picture is true 1080 HP. It is cool to capture such brilliant broadcasts over the air for Free! If you are looking for a solid interior antenna I can highly recommend the ANTOP AT400.

I’ve had a pretty good multi-directional indoor powered antenna I picked up at RadioShack(remember those?) over a decade ago, after trying out many indoor antennas. It worked so well I purchased a couple more to give out as gifts as I have family members who, like me, watch Over-The-Air TV. My main issue with it was the size and the different buttons used to change the internal direction of the antenna, as well as bunny ears to adjust for certain channels. It worked well until I moved locations, and then I found myself constantly adjusting it to clear up the signal when switching between certain local channels in Los Angeles. Once again, I started looking for more indoor antennas. Several flat indoor antennas did not work well in my area, so back to my 10 year old antenna. Enter the Antop indoor/outdoor antenna, which after having for a few weeks, I am finally able to retire my powered antenna. Not only does the Antop not require any power to function(always a bonus freeing up a plug and using less electricity), it picked up far more channels than my previous one could (over 185 vs 100), and I did not even have to angle it to do so (depending on your location, you should probably angle it). According to the enclosed material, the Antop filters out 3G/4G wireless noise, which could also explain why it works so well being in the same spot as my previous one, less interference! I had originally planned to hang it outside, but now that I have all this space freed up by my previous antenna, the Antop simply sits on top of my entertainment center, almost blending in with my white wall. I will eventually hang it outside if I need more space, but it works so well indoors, there isn’t a urgent need to do so. I should also point out, this antenna is rather large, and even has its own stand. I don’t mind the size, but I would imagine most people would not want something this large inside their home. The Antop comes with a long enough coax cable to attach outside as well brackets to mount on a pole. If you’re a cord-cutter and like to watch local / national broadcast channels in clear HD, and Antop Antenna is well worth getting and mounting outside.

The ANTOP AT400 is an excellent option for those looking to cut the cable. I've been searching for a way to cut the cost of TV and my main hangup is that I'm addicted to the DVR function. So, this won't help you there, however, I was very pleasantly surprised at how good the ANTOP AT400 picked up signals for local channels I didn't even know existed. Granted, I live in an urban area, but that also means I have lost of signal interference. It wasn't a problem for the ANTOP AT 400 and all of my local broadcast stations came in crystal clear--indistinguishable from my cable service. Most of the other substations aren't of much interest to me, but I can see their value. This would be excellent for someone wanting to cut the cable OR for that RV/weekend cabin/lake house/tailgate tent. Forget paying for some satellite service, the option of using this as a table top mounted (or other similar location) indoor antenna is extremely versatile. The fact that it can be mounted outdoors should your signal reception require it, means it is even more useful and flexible. Thankfully, I get strong signals where I am at but your individual results will vary depending on a whole host of factors. The ANTOP website has a nice feature that shows you where the signals are coming from and what you should expect from any given antenna. As far as design, it is a little larger than I expected. It isn't exactly pleasing to look at, but it isn't unattractive either. If using inside, it could easily sit behind your TV or on a shelf. While it won't win any style awards, it looks just like any other piece of modern technology so I'm sure your wifi router and cable modem would feel right at home next to it. If mounting outside or in the attic is your preference (or necessary), it comes with the appropriate mounting equipment and instructions. Obviously, a rule of thumb with these antennas is the higher the better but your location and signal strength will determine if it is actually necessary. In conclusion, I think it's an excellent option to give OTA service to a TV in your home, weekend residence, camper, etc. Pros: -Signal reception -Multiple stands/mounting options -Simplistic design -Cost (less than one month's cable bill!) Cons: -Size

The ANTOP indoor/outdoor hybrid antenna is a great unamplified antenna in terms of signal reception, but build decisions meant to facilitate its use either indoors or outdoors hamstring what would otherwise have been a good choice for cord-cutters looking for something better than a Mohu. Make no mistake - this thing is BIG. Seated next to my 55" TV, the antenna actually rose above it by a good inch or two. The ponderously big size undoubtedly hides a greater range of antenna relays, which helps explain why signal reception was so good for the 32 stations I was able to dial in. Almost all came in clearly and consistently, with only two to three stations (the usual suspects for the Philadelphia metropolitan area) demonstrating interruptions or scrambled images. The problem with the antenna comes from its aforementioned size. This device really isn't practical for indoor use. It comes with a plastic tabletop stand that you can attach, but since most of the weight is located in the convex face of the antenna, you might need duct table to securely fix it to your TV stand or a neighboring small table to prevent tipping. And since you'll need to raise it a few feet to maximize reception, you're going to have to budget living room space for this beast. Your best bet might be mounting it on a wall near your TV; the heavy duty, well-made mounting plate is strong enough to keep it securely anchored to any wall stud you choose to attach this thing to. The antenna, while heavier than competing brands, is light enough to endure a wall mount as well. As to outdoor use, I'm not sure why anyone would want to use it doors. The antenna looks like a very large WiFi repeater, and is entirely made out of plastic. Since it's vertically oriented, and not horizontally oriented like most aerials, you can't really effectively attach this to your roof and hope that you chanced to point it in the best possible direction. The plastic body doesn't recommend it for outdoor use, either. In southeast PA, we can occasionally get hailstones and regularly deal with strong wind. While most weather hazards would either pass through the tines of a standard outdoor antenna, or at worst break a piece off, I can guarantee that the plastic housing is going to see some damage if you mount this thing outside. You could attach it to your wall, but since that would severely limit your signal reception, it would be odd to recommend doing so over simply keeping the device near a window. At least, as already stated, the included mounting hardware is durable enough to withstand the elements, even if the plastic frame isn't. But people buy antennas to pick up TV signals primarily, and in this respect the ANTOP is reasonably decent for a non-amplified indoor antenna. The problem, however, is that it's not appreciably more decent that other amplified brands, like Winegard or Mohu. And since those antennas are typically small and easily tucked out of sight (or at least don't require their own little display stand), it's difficult to recommend this model over something more compact. Yes, you'lll get pretty good signal reception with the ANTOP, but not enough to warrant dealing with the size hassle. In short, if what you need is the best possible indoor signal reception, and you're comfortable with a humongo slab of off-white plastic, then this is your antenna. The rest of us will get by just fine with something smaller and a few more dropped channels.

When I opened the box, I was surprised to see how big the antenna is. It definitely is not flat at all...The height (with the stand) is close to 2 feet tall, at 5 inches wide. So, it is a really large antenna. The installation is straightforward, and easy to set up. I chose to set it up in the room that didn’t get good reception, to see if this would improve. Once I connected everything, I did a channel scan. The results were incredible, I ended up getting 68 channels crystal clear, many of which I never even knew existed. To sum it up, I would say that this antenna does the job perfectly, that is if you don’t mind the bulkiness. I would definitely recomend this to someone in need of cutting their cable.

This is a great product to receive the local channels and the best part is it is weatherproof!

I live upstate NY, in a somewhat wooded area. I am currently using this antenna for our basement TV's. I previously had the RCA Basic Indoor Antenna and the Antennas Direct Clear Stream Micron Indoor UHF DTV Antenna, both of these antennas constantly had interference and did not show more than 10 channels. This ANTOP is Easy to install....you just have to position it right and make some adjustments to make sure there is no interference. I was able to pick up over 50 channels with this antenna! It is also a well built antenna and it looks sleek -which is a major plus! (literally!) Definitely a recommend antenna because it is easy to install, picks up signals well and as well as the sleek design.

The antenna is extremely simple to hook up and is stylish. I was surprised to pick up 42 over the air channels. It has a stand for setting up inside, a bracket for wall mounting and a pole mount. I mounted it outdoors with the wall mount. The only thing that kept from giving 5 stars is the included 40’ of coaxial cable. The connections are not very sturdy and I broke one tighting it up. I bought a more heavy duty cable and is working well. If you live in a place that has signal I highly recommend giving a try. Their are additional devices you can connect to over the air antennas that allow you to pause live TV and record to your own storage devices.

Got a decent amount of channels. Could be better. Good option instead of cable

The Antop I/O FPA is a good attempt at an all-around product but compared to a recently acquired competitors power amplified unit for the 'Tech Insider' program, this unit didn't pull in nearly as many channels. That said, looking at the design I can confidently say that this unit, mounted on the side of the house or better yet - on a mast - will probably work beautifully as an outdoor receiver of digital channels. The construction of the housing looks clean and solid. Antop claims that it has a UV protective coating and the interconnects are damp location designed with proper jacketing. It's light in weight, well balanced overall and comes with the proper hardware to mount this beast various ways. Kudos to Antop for including a generous length of coax to connect the unit through a wall or down from a high point within an attic space. But back to indoor performance - I placed this unit in the same location as my previous amplified antenna and noticed about half of the channels either not coming in at all or coming in highly pixelated. So I cannot recommend this antenna for indoor use as I am located in a metropolitan area - less than 20 miles from the transmission towers - that has 12+ channels that can be received with high reliability with even a low cost, off the home store self. My recommendation selection below comes with the caveat of ... "Yes - but - not for indoor use".

The ANTOP antenna is a great option for people like myself who need something more robust for signal reception, but it does have a few minor flaws. I live about 20 miles from the antennas for all of our local stations. I decided to compare this antenna to an 85 mile range antenna as well and both pulled all signals. There are a few minor issues that I experienced with the product. However, none of these were deal breakers for me. First, the assembly that comes attached to the back of the antenna is the one I used to attic mount mine. I didn’t have any issue removing the bolt on the back to mount the bracket. However, when I went to mount the antenna and retighten the bolt, it absolutely would not seat. I ended up having to unscrew the bracket and use a hammer to realign the top part of the bracket to get the bolt to seat. One fairly hard tap on the top and it was good to go. The last thing I’d say about this antenna is that you’re probably going to benefit from having an amplifier (ANTOP does make some). The signal was good but would occasionally stutter. Hooking it up to an existing amplifier I had solved these issues. All in all, it’s a great product and has a quality feel to it.

So like many of us, I have service provided by a major company for all of my TV channels. One of the things I believe in is redundancy. So for me this is more of a backup in the event my regular service is down due to downed wires etc which happens a couple of times a year as I live in the suburbs of NY. Setup is simple and I made sure to see where I needed to point to have a line of sight to the broadcast antennas in my area. I mounted high in my attic near one of the vents. After mounting and running the cable to the TV, a simple scan had me picking up just about 50 channels, not all of them would I watch so I can exclude the ones I don’t want (most TV’s do this) and just keep the ones I do want to see. Surprisingly I got more channels than I thought I would and the picture quality is excellent. If you are one of the many cord cutters out there I’d definitely reccomend this, or if you are like me and want a backup, consider this antenna.

I have use OTA TV for over 5 years now. I have an existing older antenna in the attic. I receive 16 OTA channels in my area from transmission towers that are mostly about 20 miles away. One is 48 miles away. Most of the channels are within 7 degrees of true north. Some are 35 degrees off of true north. I am lucky that the transmission towers are located in a similar direction. The ANTOP antenna will be pointed at true north for the testing. I am checking signal strength, signal quality and symbol quality. In the box you receive the outdoor mounting hardware, 40ft of coax cable, the antenna and a base to place it on a flat surface. You also receive the installation instructions and instructions to try 10 days of sling TV free. A nice added touch. For my testing I am using 3 different locations. Location A is on a desk where the transmission tower signal needs to pass through a supporting wall. Location B is near a window with a clear line to the transmission towers. Location C is in the attic. Location A: Desk. My expectations are low due to the interference from the wall. I was actually surprised that I could pull in a decent signal on 8 of the channels. Also, the signal strength for the towers off 0 degrees was better than expected. Overall a pretty good result. Location B: Table by window. I expected much better results for this test based on using indoor antennas in the past. In this test, the antenna exceeded my expectations. Comparing to the attic antenna, the symbol quality was the same. For signal strength, 4 stations were worse with the worst deviation of 21%. 6 stations were better (big surprise!) with the best improvement of 13%. 6 stations were the same. The station that is 48 miles away had a 9% stronger signal. For signal quality the results were similar. 3 stations were worse with deviations from 26% to 46%. 6 stations were better with deviations from 10% to 39%. The station 48 miles away had a signal quality 39% better. 7 channels were the same. Location C: I will test this at a later time and post the results. Based on the results of location B, I expect even more of an improvement. Conclusion: This antenna works very well based on the tests I performed. As it is recommended to be installed outside, the results based on indoor use are very encouraging.

Pay close attention to the size of this unit! I know it says you can use it in a table top mode, but I wouldn't. Mounting it in an attic or on a patio would probably be best. I stuck it in a closet on the top shelf. Compared to a very popular flat type antenna mounted in the same area, I got 25 channels vs 9 with the flat antenna! If I mounted it further up, I could see this getting a bunch more! (don't have many options due to being in an apartment) Large unit, but definitely easier to work with than the old school pointy antennas, way less of an eyesore!

I have three other antenas with amplifiers and they don’t come close to this one. Even though the larger than other antennas, the image quality, signal strength and number of channels this one gets its better than anything else I’ve owned. It is light but bulky. I can’t comment on the durability for outside because I placed it inside as seen in the picture. The best thing you don’t need to connect it to power supply like those that are flat. The included coax cable is long enough to mount it outside or in the attic. I’ll definitely buy another.

The ANTOP flat panel antenna worked really well. I have a Sling Air adapter which handles OTA channels and it had a different and very nice new antenna already attached. I scanned for available channels with both the existing antenna and my new ANTOP and the results were very similar. In my case over 40 channels and the reception was crystal clear both for audio and video. I live about 20 miles north of Raleigh, NC. You will get more or less channels based on where you live. I will say that just as the other antenna, the position of the antenna was critical. If you are using it indoors as I was, the ANTOP must be pointed so that the curved surface points outward. This means the area where you could connect it to an outside pole must face inwards. Also you want the antenna as high as possible and standing on its base (not on it’s side); on its side reception was not as good. I also tested the ANTOP against an old Radio Shack antenna, in comparison the old (over 15 years) Radio Shack antenna was so inferior that I just tossed it in the garbage. These newer indoor/outdoor antennas are much better technology-wise. If you have an older antenna, it’s time to upgrade in my opinion based on what I saw. The ANTOP is suitable to install outdoors and I expect the reception would be better. Also I could have drilled a hole into the attic and placed the antenna up there. Right now the reception is so good that I am holding off on installing it in the attic. I also tested the ANTOP with one of the older converter boxes. Back when OTA channels first became prominent and useful, North Carolina gave anyone who wanted it, a free converter box – this old box was one of those. The ANTOP worked great with this old box and I am using it daily. I would recommend this ANTOP unit for an upgrade or for a new installation. It is not necessary to install it outdoors, mine worked wonderful indoors (but against an outside wall).

This antenna points to win, win, win! Firstly, let me commend Antop on sending a lovely presentation enclosed in a beautifully-designed folder with pertinent product info, contact phone numbers, features, etc., which was a very professional gesture. If any questions, concerns, or product features needed to be addressed, the information was readily available with a specific contact person’s phone number. Moreover, the product arrived neatly packaged with a cover protectant to prevent box damage. Now the product itself, has been a true blessing for me as setup was super user-friendly only requiring 2 attachments, one from the unit and the other to the TV itself. I chose to use this product indoors. I have a new 43-inch Toshiba, Smart 4K TV. The good news is that I was able to instantly pick up 26 channels with clarity and conciseness! As information within the brochure stated, the amount of free over-the-air channels you receive will vary based on broadcast stations in your TV market. Suffice to say, I was elated, because I didn’t know if this antenna would work with my TV. I love regular shows such as CBS 48 Hours Mysteries, Dateline and 20/20. I am elated to report; all three respective channels show with immense clarity. Most importantly, these channels come free because of this robust antenna. If you’re in need of a great antenna that has robust features and can be used indoors or outdoors, please stop by your local Best Buy or surf on-line at BestBuy.com and check out this antenna. I honestly think, you will NOT be disappointed!
