Five Star Outdoor Digital Amplified HDTV Antenna - up to 200 Mile Long Range,Directional 360 Degree Rotation,HD 4K 1080P FM, Supports 5 TVs Plus Installation Kit and Mounting Pole

Easy assembly, easy installation and great reception. I mounted mine in the attic and couldn’t be happier with my selection. Antenna rotates a full 360 but I haven’t had to use that feature because I get the channels with aiming in one general direction. I guess I could get more channels from other cities if I wanted but I’m content with the local transmissions. I get 70 channels. I recommend.

I am thoroughly impressed with this antenna. After testing it back-to-back against another popular amplified model, this one was the clear winner by a huge margin. My Setup: To provide context, my setup is challenging. The antenna is mounted on the roof of a three-story commercial building and it's connected via a very long 150-foot run of RG11 coaxial cable. The Test & Results: I was initially hesitant because the specs on the box focus on UHF, and my area has important channels in the High-VHF band. However, I decided to test it against an antenna that explicitly advertised VHF performance. In a direct, same-day comparison, this Five Star antenna pulled in an amazing 93 channels! This included every single local network on both UHF and VHF, all with perfect picture quality. To boot, I was doing this during a thunderstorm! For comparison, the other antenna (ANTAN AN-5013ORV) could only find 71 channels in the same exact spot. This Five Star antenna outperformed it by more than 20 channels. Conclusion: The built-in amplifier is clearly very powerful and has a low noise figure, easily overcoming the significant signal loss from my long cable run. If you have a challenging installation and need a powerful, reliable antenna, I can't recommend this one enough. It performs far better than its specs might suggest.

This product was easy to put together, easy to install (on a corner of my roof accessible from deck so no ladder). It gets all of the stations in my immediate area that are accessible. It does not reach 200 miles for sure. No storms or rain yet. Have not figured out how to make it rotate yet.

I’m very disappointed in this antenna. I replaced an older and smaller outdoor antenna which is about 10 feet above my roofline and thought I would get a much better signal but I do not. First of all, this absolutely does not rotate, which is how it is advertised. It doesn’t have a motor and no power source to the top of the antenna so I don’t see how it could be expected to rotate. The light to the controller does light up when it’s pushed, but the antenna does not rotate. Second, while I do get about double the channels I used to get, very few come in completely clear of static all of the time. I used to be able to get 2-3 of my 4 area network stations crystal clear, but now all stations have some level of static. I’ve manually rotated the antenna many times since I put it up, but with limited success and still some, or lots, of static on almost every channel. I gave this 1 star because it does pick up many more stations, but most are stations I don’t have any interest in watching. I will probably put my old antenna back up just to get the few stations I was getting clearly before.

I really like this antenna. If you can get it high enough, and aimed in the right direction, it works very well. We are 60 miles from the towers and get the signals just fine. The only exception is on bad weather days. But that's the signal, not the antenna. Contrary to other reviews: Directions ARE INCLUDED in the form of a link printed on the box for a youtube installation video, also printed info inside the box. If you need anymore than that, you should not be installing anything ever. Take the short bus to happy town.

Update - After looking into this a bit further, I did revise my rating to 3 stars when I realized there was a splitter in the line coming into the house from the antenna line installed by Dish, in the crawl space. When I removed it, I got almost twice as many channels. BUT - it still isn't perfect, just much better than it was. The remote still doesn't work, so that's a major inconvienence having to run back and forth to look out the window to see the direction when using the base to adjust it. But with all the work, I don't want to remove and pack it back up to send it back to just replace the remote. Hopefully Amazon with work with me on that. It may be hard to believe, but this antenna gets fewer channels than my TV mounted indoor antenna. The ones that it does pick up are worse quality than my set top antenna. After all the work of mounting this up on the roof, buying a pole and routing the line in through the house, the performance is worse than the antenna I had right on top of my television. I live in Greenville SC, and wanted an antenna that I could get higher quality with inclement weather. This antenna was a step back. Now I have to undo everything and disassemble it, and figure out a way to repack it so I can send it back. What a waste of time, effort, and money. Why does Amazon allow this kind of product with the claims that it makes, to be sold?

I received the antenna and saved the box. I wasn’t sure I’d like it based on some of the reviews. I’m glad I waited and tried it for myself. I first of all assembled the antenna and hooked it up inside of my house right next to the TV and I received 24 stations. Already better than the cheap antenna that that I bought locally which only received 4 stations depending on the weather. Granted that antenna was $17. So I debated if I wanted to put it in the attic or outside of the house. I watched a video from the Antenna Man who convinced me in his YouTube video that an outside would be better, so I went outside and figured out a good place to mount it on a facia board. I drilled a hole through the wall and ran the coaxial cable that came with the antenna. I added a ground to the antenna per the antenna man, and when I finally hooked up the coaxial cable to the TV and did the auto program, I was stunned to find 56 channels coming in! Some signals are broadcast in less than Hd signal, but were all a solid signal and Did not get that digital pixelation drop out. I do not have a signal amplifier on but I’m thinking about adding one in. I did add in the supplied splitter and sent signals to two other TVs. They all get excellent pictures and to my amazement, my tv in my downstairs even received some additional channels that the upstairs tv did not. I suspect that tuner is more sensitive. I’m not an expert installer. I think I need a taller pole because if I were to rotate the antenna now it may hit the roof, but with this many tv stations, I may just leave well enough alone. Incidentally, I figured out how to delete those stations I don’t want so it is almost better than having cable tv. For reference, I’m about 20 miles out of a decent sized city in Oregon. In Los Angeles, I used to get over 200 channels over the air but I watched about 10 of them. Hope this review helps you all enjoy the free tv signals that are out there. One thing I should mention is watch the guy assembling the antenna video on Amazon. The instructions are not so clear and the pieces do face certain ways. It is easy enough to put thing backwards. I had to correct some wing nuts and the two “tail feather” attachments. I had mine pointing the wrong easement I irate started assembling.

I recently purchased the Five Star Antenna, and I’m beyond impressed! The setup was a breeze—no complicated instructions or extra tools needed. Within minutes, I had it mounted and scanning for channels. The reception is crystal clear, pulling in all major local networks in HD without any pixelation or dropouts. I was surprised at how many channels it picked up, including some I didn’t even know were available in my area. The build quality feels sturdy, and the sleek design doesn’t look out of place on my roof. Compared to my old antenna, the Five Star delivers far better range and reliability, even in bad weather. Plus, no monthly fees for over-the-air channels? Yes, please! If you're looking for an affordable, high-performance antenna, this one is a winner. Highly recommend!
