I am so impressed with this small antenna. In Modesto, Ca the nearest towers are 47 miles away and located in Sacramento. I did not want a large antenna and all the antennas in the area seem to be very large antennas placed very high on the roofs. I was told by an antenna specialist that because the location is far from the towers, the antennas needed to be placed high and to be a larger type antenna if we were to get good reception. WRONG! This antenna is very small in size, but incredible in reception. We installed it ourselves and basically just put it about 12 ft off the ground exactly where the Dish Satellite was hooked up. We took the cabling from the Dish and plugged it into the antenna. We put a splitter in place of the diplexer that the Dish installer had put in originally allowing the signal to go to all tvs in the house and then took a Magnavox digital converter and hooked up to the TV.All the channels came in crystal clear. We mainly wanted ABC, CBS, ION, CW, NBC, PBS, FOX and all of those came in beautifully. We now have free tv all for about $45.00 dollars for the antenna and the digital converter box was $23.00. We were paying about $69.00 month for Satellite and shortly after hooking this up, called and canceled the satellite service.Even though this antenna states it is for a 40 mile radius, we are getting the Sacramento stations just fine.Those towers are over 47 miles away. We did not need to hook up a pre amp or anything.Its small design blends in nicely with the home as we did not want the house to look like a radio station with a large boom antenna sticking out.We were almost going to buy this antenna at Walmart where it sales for about $20.00 more. We wanted to buy locally for the ease of returning it if it did not work. We called Amazon and asked about their return policy before ordering and they stated we could return it for a full refund if it did not work. We bought it from Amazon instead, saving $20.00 in the process, and I am so glad we did. This is one of the best consumer buys we have made recently and not only great reception, but it is saving us about $800.00 a year in Satellite bills.
I live only 7 miles from the signal stations and still could not get all the VHF channels clearly at the same time with one position. I returned this and had to get a bigger antenna to get all those channels clearly.
I live north of Atlanta, between 13 and 40 miles from the towers I was looking to grab…I had bought a DB4 about a year ago and it was ok…Initially I was going to just use this to pull in the VHF PBS channels I wanted…I thought I would hook this up by itself to see what all it could grand an was shocked…It pulls in all the UHF channels full power and the VHF channles full power…I split the difference between 115 and 155 and was shocked that this antenna had such a wide range…I’ve got an attic mount with about 70 ft of cable…Alot of trees and and airforce base near by…
This antenna is superior to the DB4 and is PERFECT for mt application…
Like a lot of people, I ditched cable and connected my TV to this antenna and the internet. I live in Austin, TX and this antenna picks up the 4 networks plus PBS and CW perfectly. I don’t even have it outside. It is in my attic. The high def picture is better than what I got with cable because (like a lot of people have mentioned)the cable company compresses their signal.
I installed this antenna in less than an hour with coaxial cable connections to both my HDTV and my PC. My expectations were very low but when my TV scanned for available OTA channels, it came up with over 80 channels and many are in crystal clear HD, better than anything I have ever seen on a TV. It looks like I’m playing a BluRay disc. I can’t believe I’m getting all these channels for free after a very small investment for the antenna. Also, I live in a very densely populated area of Los Angeles with multi-story buildings and mountains all around me.
