Five Star TV Antenna Indoor/Outdoor Yagi Satellite HD Antenna with up to 200 Mile Range - Attic or Roof Mount TV Antenna, Digital OTA Radio/FM Antenna for 4K 1080P with Mounting Pole

I’m about 50 miles from the broadcast towers in Sac, and after mounting it and aiming it properly, I’m getting all major channels clearly, including FOX. Picture quality is solid and the signal has been stable. I’m receiving over 80 OTA channels, including all major networks and a lot of sub-channels.

OTA = Over The Air... verses cable, satellite, streaming, etc. I was recently a tech with a very popular satellite TV company. We also installed OTA antennas and often had to struggle to get OTA channels to come in well when the location is 50+ miles away from big city TV broadcast towers. This antenna seems to be a very good one... putting it together might be a bit confusing for some, but so far it seems worth the trouble. Now this product does NOT have a built-in amplifier (but that's one of the reasons I like it). Sure, a built-in amp might draw in a few more channels (or make some a little more clear) but it also means it will need to plug-in to electric power somewhere. I am 45 miles away from several TV towers and this manufacturer recommends trying the antenna indoors before installing it outdoors (which is always smart). I picked up over 40 channels indoors and the picture was perfect on most of them. I haven't installed it outdoors yet and that's the only reason I gave it 3 stars for ease of installation... but I will update this post once I do have it installed. I expect over 100 channels but it's really not about HOW MANY channels you pick-up, it's HOW MANY CHANNELS YOU WANT that you pick up. I happen to know that living outside of Houston TX there are only about 20-30 local stations that I actually want... many of the others are foreign channels or shopping networks that I would never watch. Even the best OTA TV antenna can't help signals much if you are 200+ miles from no where. But so far I am pretty happy with this product. I bought the full-install package that came with the mounting pole, brackets, and 40 feet of cable. I was pleasantly surprised they even included things like "pitch-patch' which are little tar squares to be placed between the roof and the mounting plate screws before it is tightened down. There are even mounting clips (and a few zip ties) to help with running the cable from the antenna to the splitter (which is also included with the mounting kit). The only thing that could make this better is a having a few more specifics on antenna assembly, so you KNOW exactly which antenna sections connect to the others and which end faces which. Also, there were no instructions for the mount kit but other than a wide variety of screws the kit looks fairly simple. * UPDATE* Nearly 5 months later and I am still happy with this OTA Antenna. Nearly every channel is crystal clear high definition. I have had zero problems except for a few occasions, when storms seem to have affected the reception of one or two distant TV stations, but those are far and few between. I'm sure you can buy bigger, better, more expensive antennas... but I still recommend this antenna and am quite happy with it.

The antenna was pretty easy to assemble, but the instructions could have been a little better. I installed it on my roof. Pointed it in the direction of the the big city. I was able to pick 26 channels. The signals come in nice and clear. I would recommend this product.

Works great and is nice and sturdy and not bad to put together dont use instructions, just look at the picture on the box makes it much easier.

The local channels with my old 80 mile antenna would sometimes go out. This new antenna gets all of them perfectly and a few more I didn't know existed. All the stuff that came with the antenna is good. It was easy to assemble and install. The whole job took less than an hour.

1. Horrible to assemble! I have assembled many, many items through the years, but this was the worst! The so-called directions were a waste of time. Amazon did not have an assembly video. I ended up finding one at Amazon's #1 competitor's website - you all know what website I mean. Even then, you have to be very careful to watch the orientation of the antenna when assembling to do so correctly, since they don't tell you. One pic shows things upside down and the other right side up. But between the two of us, my husband and I finally got it together. 2. Once assembled, the antenna is wonderful! It gets us over 100 channels with the amplifier that we have had for years. (Note: This antenna does not come with the mast shown in this photo).

This works well for us, was easy to put together, and was at a great price. We can pick up over 104 channels from our house. However half of them are duplicates, since we are halfway between two cities. Was easy to mount to the side of the peak of our house.

The antenna poll could have been 2 to 3 foot longer. The assembly instructions could have been clearer. But once installed and down load the channels, all the other issues didn't matter. This antenna is fantastic for providing more channels and a very clear picture on all three TVs. Would i buy it again, yes I would.
