Excellent antenna gets a lot of stations very pleased

Signal meter just seems to indicate which direction you should point the antenna. It does not seem to indicate actual signal strength that the antenna is receiving, which is what I expected it to do from the product description.

Had a little trouble with setup but after READING THE INSTRUCTIONS and calling the help number all is well. I installed the app and it was a simple setup AFTER I did follow the instructions. Works very well and has great features.

Overall a good antenna. It does a good job of doing what the actual reception would be without needing a television. The QR code to scan in the application was pretty small on the unit to match. It also has a nice long cable that was attached for the main unmall

Video is not the greatest, it’s prehistoric putting the panel in the window

Worthless! Do not buy, this was a waste of money! Best But needs to remove this from their inventory

A good antenna. Was a little difficult to use the app for setup

The Winegard PureTV Pro 60 Indoor Smart Amplified HDTV Antenna is a rather large, rather expensive, rather floppy rectangle of vinyl connected to a cord that runs about 18 feet to a small plastic amplifier box, which itself is connected to two short wires that carry power from a USB plug to the box and the amplified TV signal to a coaxial plug that connects to your TV or DVR box. It's a pretty simple setup, and one that is copied throughout the seemingly endless variety of similar indoor amplified antennas available for perhaps a quarter of the price of the Winegard PureTV Pro 60 on many prominent websites. I am the owner of one such similar antenna, or rather I was, until the Winegard PureTV Pro 60 rendered my last antenna obsolete. When it comes down to being good at receiving a signal, the Winegard is noticeably but not wildly better than my older, cheaper model, but it does have one feature that makes it rise above the competition: a Bluetooth connection module that pairs with Winegard's app to help you determine the best place to put the antenna within your home to get the optimal signal for the most channels. The promise of this combination of Bluetooth and app is so great that it earns the Winegard antenna a 4-star rating despite the fact that it doesn't work half the time. When the app does work, it connects to the antenna, scans all the channels it expects to find based on your geography, and returns a list of them with individual signal strength readings for each. Are you a person who absolutely must have one or two channels come in crystal clear? This antenna is for you. As I began the set up process, the connection between the app and the antenna worked perfectly the very first try (after a frustrating account creation process). I was able to move the antenna around my room and determined that neither the window nor the wall provided the best signal. Instead, I got the most channels when the antenna was hanging from my hand in the middle of the room. Sigh. After a few more tries in another room, which included several different attempts to power cycle the antenna, use the manual reset button, and turn my phone's Bluetooth setting off and on again, I was able to successfully reconnect the app and the antenna, and find a perfect place to mount the antenna; using tape to stick the bottom of it to a curtain rod and the top of it to the wall just under the molding where the wall and ceiling meet. I live in a place that is notorious for bad TV signals, with many broadcasting antennas behind not one but two mini mountains from where I live. With my old antenna, I was able to find a place to mount it to get a fairly good signal from the ABC and NBC affiliates that I watch most of the time. Unfortunately, after much trial and error, the place I found was "stuck to the downspout on the west side of my house, with the cord running back between the sashes of a nearby sliding window." Not ideal, and I sometimes still had signal issues. I am a recent cord-cutter, and I connect my antenna to the coaxial input of a Fire TV Recast DVR, through which I record the 4 or 5 TV programs I watch on a regular basis. Using the old antenna, I would occasionally find that an entire episode of a show I recorded was unwatchable. The Fire TV Recast provides a message at the beginning of replay that tells you whether there was low signal that could affect the quality of the recording; sometimes the recording is fine anyway, but sometimes it's almost entirely ruined. Since I switched from the old garden-variety antenna to the Winegard, with its optimal placement help, I haven't had a single episode of TV spoiled by low signal. This antenna is expensive and rather unwieldy, and the app doesn't work at least half the time. BUT it's all worth it because I can make sure to get high quality recordings of TV shows I have to watch, and because, combined with the DVR, I won't have to pay the cable company something like $90 per month for the 5 programs I want to watch and a whole lot of garbage TV besides. And anyway, once the antenna is mounted and working properly, you can delete the dang Winegard app and forget about it until the next time you feel like re-scanning to see if there are any new channels near you. I call that a 4-star experience, at least.

I purchased this because I was unhappy with my Insignia brand antenna and because this new antenna had an app I could download to my iphone and control it from my iphone. Unfortunately the new antenna did not work any better than my Insignia brand one! Also the new antenna was very flexible and could not be accurately placed anywhere. I returned it and got my money refunded.

I was so hoping this would work - particularly the signal strength measure. But out of the box, the blue tooth didn't work (automatic or manual connections never showed any BT output). Worse, the antenna would not show any reception at all. I live between 12 and 15 miles from the towers, but am in a "bowl" so the signals are inconsistent and different spots on the window get different stations. My cheap antenna works pretty well, but I was hoping to precisely locate the strong signal spots. So I called Winegard. Here is what they said: ..."it is a long range antenna, being 20 miles away from broadcast towers, this antenna would not work for your location." 1- I am skeptical that no signal at all would be received inside 20 miles. 2- If true, why isn't that somewhere on the box, in the paperwork - anywhere?? I'm left amazed that either the product is severely limited in its useful range - and that is not being communicated, or they preferred my returning the antenna to Best Buy over dealing with the bluetooth and reception problem. Either way, it is appalling.

I got a few more drama is not much more than my $20 one the app it’s very difficult and I’m not seeing what they mean about the boost

The antenna only picked up two channels so it was returned to the store.

No better than the one I had that was half the price

Love it but just one problem, I can't get my favorite stations like,usa;bet;own unless I get the internet and wifi. But nonetheless I'm enjoying my old shows.

After looking at many indoor over the air antennas, I made the right choice. Works as advertised and then some.

I was on the fence between the LGC1 and the LGG1 I am so glad that I purchase a G1. The TV set is phenomenal I only wish I could afford the largest one.

The Winegard - PureTV Pro 60 - Indoor Smart Amplified HDTV Antenna works like the other HDTV antennas I’ve used. Setup is reasonably easy, but I dinged the unit one star because the instructions annoyingly don’t mention that, to connect the device to the app which you download to your smartphone, you need to turn the phone’s Bluetooth on. I kept getting a “cannot connect” message, and I spent 10 minutes powering off and on the device, looking for an “on” switch that I missed somewhere, and pressing the reset button before it occurred to me that maybe I should turn on the phone’s Bluetooth. It connected with no problem after that, but how hard is it to put a quick note in the setup process to make sure your phone’s Bluetooth is on? Anyway, once connected, and with the antenna positioned, the app finds all the channels in the area and rates them for signal strength as strong, moderate, or weak. I found that I could watch only the channels rated “strong.” The idea is that you position the antenna while watching the signal strengths to maximize them, but this antenna suffers from the same problem that every other indoor HDTV antenna I’ve used suffers from. It’s ungainly. The antenna is a flat square measuring about a foot and a half on a side connected by about 20 feet of coaxial cable to the TV. How do you hang this thing in your living room without having it look ugly with the cable draped over the pictures hanging on the wall? My wife vetoed hanging in anywhere in our main TV-watching room, so I’ve relegated it to the den, where I’m the one who does most of the TV-watching. It still ungainly, but I can tolerate that if it means I can watch a channel that I couldn’t otherwise see. This is particularly handy if your pay TV provider loses a local broadcast channel due to a fee fight, which is something that seems to be happening more and more these days. As far as the functionality of the antenna itself, it’s fine. The pictures I see are clear and crisp with good sound, and the strength meter on the app helps to best position the antenna for a particular channel. If you’re like me and live on the edge of town, most of the broadcast towers are off in the same direction, so positioning the antenna is a one-time job. There is one local broadcaster whose tower location requires me to rotate the antenna 90 degrees, but that’s not a problem for the occasions where I want to watch this channel. In sum, the plusses for this antenna are it’s simple setup if you remember to turn on your phone’s Bluetooth, the very helpful signal-strength meters, and the good quality picture. The minuses are what they have been in my experience for every indoor HDTV antenna I’ve used, and that is the difficulty in finding a way to mount the antenna while still allowing your living room to qualify for a feature in House Beautiful.

Not the best, but it’ll get you the most common channels

I frequently loose cable service during bad weather. This product allows my family and me to keep track of the changing weather situations in my area,

This is "by far" the best indoor TV antenna. I live in Cleveland OH and I can get channels 3, 5, 8, 19 & 43 along with others like WVIZ, METV, Bounce and GRIT.
