I'm telling everyone I know about this...
May 3, 2017
I can't believe how well this works...I bought a clear tv one and got nothing...this one is so good I get 36 digital channels in my livingroom and 19 in my bedroom. I live in a mobile home so there is always issues with the metal studs etc...but this antenna is not effected. for the price and without having to put one up on my roof or outside and deal with management I am very happy. My neighbor asked me to get her one too and she's thrilled too. Thanks guys...good job...big help for free tv I tell ya and on a budget this is the perfect fix for my tv watching.
Great antenna with solid reception
April 7, 2017
Great antennae! I've been using over-the-air for years now and overall had good reception, but there are certain times - weather, wind, etc - where things could be more stable. I also had a flat antenna like this one which had totally come apart and needed to be replaced!
I had to adjust my placement a few times to get it just right, but I have never had such clear, consistent reception! I get the same number of channels as before, most within about 45 miles from where I live, and almost never have the "wavy screen syndrome". I have been VERY pleased with this - and especially love that it is white. It blends in nicely with the interior decor.
Nice and easy...
March 23, 2017
Easy to hook up and picks up a bunch of channels. Was thinking about dumping cable so I wanted to invest a little money and check out "free" TV. The antenna came with clear instructions and hooked up easily. It's up to your TV to decipher the channels. This one picked up a bunch of channels up to more than 40 miles. We were impressed. Easy to move around to get the best reception and small enough that the wife doesn't hate the looks (easy to hide). Came in handy during some bad weather, when the cable operator's signal went out.
** Nice For The Price, SIZE MATTERS for Good/Better/BEST Reception! ** Got My 13 Channels due to my location!
February 27, 2017
 This is my 5th OTA HD Antenna I have bought and tried. From my research and trial and error, this seems to be the Best of them all. A Good Value and high quality antenna. I seem to find that I won't get more channels from my limited location, but will pick up the channels easier and more stable with a larger size non-Amplified antenna. I tried an amplified Antenna, but found results were not better and sent it back. I have luck with the non amplified antenna because I am about 8 miles close to the nearby towers. I can only receive 13 channels and that's the max channels with any antenna so far.** This 1ByOne 35 Mile antenna measures Width = 13.25 inches by Height = 9.25 inches and has the largest square inch surface which make it the best of them I have tried for reception. Size does seem to matter on these antennas.** I measured the long coax cable on this 1ByOne 35 Mile Antenna and it came out to about 19 feet 5 inches total length.I bought several ANTV antennas included a stand, and an AirFree amplified antenna which did not include a stand, nice quality stand on the ANTV antennas, and ended up using the ANTV's stand for this 1ByOne antenna, worked great and fit well.** Heres a break down on ANTENNA SURFACE in square inches (Width x Height) that I have used:[GOOD ~ AirFree, No Stand ~ ANTENNA SURFACE = 12.75 Sq. Inches ] AIRFREE HD Indoor Antenna 50 Miles Range Digtial TV HDTV Antenna USB Power Supply ~ 10ft Coax Cable[GOOD - ANTV, Stand Included ~ ANTENNA SURFACE = 45.2592 Sq.Inches] ANTV 25 Miles Indoor HDTV Antenna with 10ft High Performance Coaxial Cable, Ultra-Thin Antenna[VERY GOOD ~ ANTV, Stand Included ~ ANTENNA SURFACE = 67.8078 Sq.Inches] ANTV Digital Indoor HDTV Antenna 30 Miles Range with 10ft High Performance Coaxial Cable[VERY GOOD] ~ 1ByOne 25 Mile Antenna ~ Stand not included ~ ANTENNA SURFACE = 72.75 Sq. Inches] 1byone 25 Miles Super Thin HDTV Antenna with 16.5ft High Performance Coaxial Cable, Shiny Antenna[** BEST ** ~ Stand not included ~ ANTENNA SURFACE = 122.56 Sq. inches] 1byone 35 Miles Super Thin HDTV Antenna with 20 Feet High Performance Coaxial Cable - White/Black** These five antennas all worked fairly well, but 1ByOne 35 Mile had the best and most stable reception for my area. The 1ByOne 35 Mile did work with either White Side or Black Side facing tower area.** I didn't have any luck using the included two sided sticky tape, so I tried this two-sided velcro tape pieces and they stuck perfect and firmly on my wall:VELCRO Brand - Industrial Strength - 2" x 4" Strips, 2 Sets - White** Check out TVFOOL dot com and find what channels are available to you at your zip code first... it shows the most info that you will need to know. My tower is within my "LOS" Line of sight, according to TVFOOL. True, it worked well.
finally able to enjoy some tv!
October 29, 2016
I had some old bunny eared antennae and got like 4 channels when I should have been getting at least 20. As soon as I plugged this in and turned the tv on, there was a HUGE difference in the viewing quality of the channels coming in. Without having to do any major acrobatics, I was able to hang the antenna pad in the right place by a window to get tons of channels. I found the amplifier kit pretty neat, but a tad flimsy; the thing looked like the plastic could crack pretty easily if you weren't gentle while you screwed it on to your TV. If you're not moving this antenna around often and unplugging it from the back of your TV all the time, you'll be fine, I'm sure. The item is a good size, and it's actually rigid and about as heavy as a plastic dinner plate, and not 'floppy' and lightweight. The cord was long, which helped me a lot because I had to move it near a window for the best reception, and I didn't have to have to get an extension. I think I'm a bit out of luck in terms of TV reception, being that I live far from the main broadcasting sources, but at least with this antenna, I have a decent amount of channels, and the antenna is WAY cheaper than a month's worth of cable.

60 Miles to Chicago on rooftop in valley, no problems!
July 28, 2017
Having installed one of these for a friend on his rental property, I knew that it was effective for receiving TV stations from a fair range. Yet, that house was on one of the highest points in Racine and was near the lakefront, pointing toward Milwaukee (30 miles from the transmitting towers).

However, this one went on my house, down in a valley, a few miles further off the lake. I was already receiving Milwaukee with my in-attic antenna, but had not picked up any of Chicago (60 miles away). I mounted this one on a 5' pole on top of my chimney facing 170* south. I was shocked to see that I successfully picked up all stations (2, 5, 7, 9, 32, and all the minor ones as well) on my first channel sweep! I coupled it in with my other antenna, and with a few modifications got them working together to pick up both markets. We now have 78 channels and are EXTREMELY happy with the unit. I'm not using the rotor at all, rather relying on two antennas to get a better spread. I was also not aware that this came with a 50' coax cable, which was a nice perk to save some money. All in, with pole and standoffs to mount, I spent around $48 for this setup! Very Happy!
Great Antennae!!
February 20, 2017
I refuse to pay for cable TV, therefore I've been using rabbit ears for a long time. However the new condo I moved into has terrible reception, and I got most of my exercise by walking back and forth from my chair; to the TV to adjust the antennae. I noticed that my neighbor had an outdoor antennae indoors, so that's when I decided to go shopping for one.

Not only does this antennae get great reception, it has a remote control to adjust it with. So now I don't have to get up to adjust my reception anymore. It doesn't come with a stand; so I built one out of PVC. Keep in mind; mines inside, so it doesn't need a lot of support like on your roof.

Best antennae I've ever owned!!
Better than a flat hd antenna
December 12, 2016
Great crystal clear reception on two 4K tvs. I installed this in my apartment. I had a flat hd amplified antenna and I didn't get good reception on all my over the air channels.
WORKS GREAT!!! EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS!
December 9, 2016
Works great! I had an indoor antenna after recently cutting the cord from Dish. I was able to pull about 16 channels. That was all that was listed on all of the antenna maps online. But I knew there were more in the area that weren't listed. I connected this antenna and there they were! Now I live in a rural area about 75 miles away but they came in clear! I mounted it on old Dish Network mount using a piece of 3/4" EMT conduit about 12" long sitting inside the post mount. I used existing RG-6 coax that was left after I removed Dish. I was VERY skeptical about buying a $35 antenna so my expectations weren't all that high. Boy was I surprised. I even installed a splitter outside and used existing Dish cables that went to another TV and that too has all the channels. Using this plus DIRECTV NOW app. ALOT CHEAPER!!!!!
Cut the cord!
November 4, 2016
I'm cutting the cable cord. I have Netflix, and Playstation Vue but I don't get local channels so I wanted to get an antenna. I was told that I live in an area that would not get a signal and I was told wrong! I'm about an hour north of Jacksonville in S.E. Georgia (heavily wooded). Before even mounting it to the house I plugged it in and held it in my hand facing Jacksonville and got 25 channels. So instead of mounting it to the roof or something I just mounted it on a piece of PVC in the attic and ended up getting 30 channels! All I wanted were the local channels for News and Football but there's a bunch of extra ones. The picture quality is amazing too, better than what I got with cable! I Highly recommend.
Good antenna. Works great for me.
October 20, 2015
Works great. Boosted my OTA channels from 6 to 40+. I got this and 3, 10 foot top rails for chain link fence which put it 20' or so above the roof line.
The best thing is that I can now pick up several great channels plus REV'N, an all day car channel. (saves me from Dr. Phil)
The rotation works but the directional buttons are not always moving the unit in accordance with the control.
The only bad thing I see is that it works with only one TV at a time. If you try to split it, you get a yellow fault light. I used a switch and had to turn off/on the unit to re-link with the antenna. Not a big deal for me, I just went back to my older roof antenna.
It comes with 50' of coax so there is plenty for a pole mount.
One caution: be sure your OTA receiver is a good one. I have a Magnavox receiver that will not pick up the stations my flat screens built-in receiver will. IF you don't get a jump in channels, it might be the receiver. I am picking up stations nearly 100 miles away.

Good value, easy to set up
April 14, 2017
Set up was not complicated but don't commit to the first place you put on your antenna until you go through the set up placing the antenna in different locations. I moved it around 5 times before I found the location that worked best for the channels I wanted to get clearly. I can get about 40-50 channels but don't imagine I'd watch more than 10 of them. I tried it with or without the amplifier and for me, definitely using the amplifier got me better signal strength. I live in NYC in a large apartment building several floors up with windows facing west.
It was a great deal, and I no longer have cable service
March 10, 2017
My Dad bought one and suggested that I get one because I was paying way too much for cable. It was a great deal, and I no longer have cable service. The only issue is, it tends to drop stations. Especially if the weather is bad. I don't mind since I don't watch a lot of TV.
Couldn't ask for anything better.
January 2, 2017
I was pleasantly surprised how quickly it scanned for channels. All the towers in my area are at least 35 miles from my house so I purchased the 50 mile antenna and stuck it arbitrarily on the wall to test it. Couldn't ask for anything better.

It worked fine for a couple of months but now I can't get some of the local channels without moving it around and re-scanning. Then I have to re-position it in order to get the other channels. The only difference between then and now is there are leaves on the trees now and they may be blocking the signals. I have to find another solution. (down to 2 stars **)
Somewhat helpful, but great customore service
December 4, 2016
Maybe helps a little, but it didn't solve all our problems with reception. I'm updating this review due to great customer service. I was contacted by the company and offered either a full refund or an additional amplifier (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C5ILO9K) to see if that would help.

When the additional amplifier was connected to the cable wires the reception was pretty much the same, but once it was plugged into the power source the TV channels all disappeared. When we unplugged the power, the channels came back. We checked that the antenna was attached to the correct side, and we had tried this before and after a splitter but the same results. Whenever there was power to the amplifier all the stations disappeared.

When we informed the company of this, they didn't know why it happened but offered us a refund for the original purchase. All of this happened within the span of about a week so they were VERY responsive.

The antennae is just a little better than what we had in our attic, so we are still somewhat happy with this product.
An inexpensive, low cost solution
March 23, 2016
This device works well for me. I already have a similar device on the television in my bedroom, but this product seems to draw in more channels to select from. Both of my indoor antennas flutter when an airplane flies over or if gets very windy outside. These interruptions are always just temporary. This is a chance to cut the cable strings. The cable subscriptions where I live, continue to increase in fees but the number of channels decrease at the same time. Some of the networks (channels) over the air are not on cable services. Give this antenna a try.

Possibly a way to receive local channels and television programming....
October 7, 2017
I have ordered and received 3 of these type antennas. Two of them worked with one working excellently. I am able to receive 24 channels where previously I only got 4 channels with the set-top antenna. I am not sure what is ailing one. The area that I am trying to receive channels is obscured by trees and some buildings are possibly in the way for a direct shot for what the internet says is the best case scenario for aiming and receiving channels. In each case I have these two antennas at 33ft (3 X 11ft fence top rail.) There are a few semi local stations that are coming in on both the Amplified HD Digital as well as the set top rabbit ears. I am triangulating between Wichita, Tulsa, and OK City by about 90 miles each. I just haven't gotten the proper aim or the antenna's amplifier gain is lower on this particular antenna. Even though the units are mostly housed in Plastic, it appears to be durable and sunlight (UVA) resistant gray Polyethylene or Propylene plastic. The accompanying cable provided with the unit is of a good grade. I bought these 3 units to "cut-the-cable" and monthly fees at all 3 of these homes. I am planning on installing the 3rd one at the problem location to prove whether it is just the available reception or a problem with the unit. All-in-all these items, if they all perform should give me sufficient television to "cut the cable". I bought 3 of these antennas, mast poles and guy wiring for 3 installations and have one unit that is working fantastically and I have not yet tried installing the 3rd purchased antenna so I know that 1 is working super, 1 is marginal, and 1, I haven't installed yet. I still think that there should be roughly 20 channels available in each of the 3 locations which will provide a viable economic alternative to the cable that I was buying for the 3 locations monthly. Each antenna, mast and guy wires averaged $100 total each 1 installation as the antenna, mast and cabling were about $33ea. in each case totaling $100. I am hopeful that I can all 3 installs to work satisfactorily.
Outdoor, HD Digital Rotating Antenna Work Well
September 28, 2017
Construction is study enough for colder climates. It remains to be seen if the item will hold up against the South Carolina Summer sun. Works as advertised and pulls in signals very well. Does not have to be too elevated to pull in signals. We are in a slight valley with trees all around, and the item is nowhere near high enough to 'see' over the horizon, but it picks up signals well. Obviously, the higher up you put the antenna the more channels you will get. Does NOT come with an in-line surge protector. Because this plugs DIRECTLY into the television, I would recommend a surge protector the can handle coaxial cable so the until plugs into the surge protector and the surge protector plug into the TV.
Good Antenna - weak rotor
December 9, 2016
The antenna arrived quickly in good condition. It was easy to assemble and mount onto my mast. We live in an area that is noted for having poor reception so I was pleasantly surprised when I was able to pull in 130+ channels. The antenna is relatively small, so it requires the use of the amplifier at all times. I'm not sure how the rotor is supposed to work exactly, but I have found that if I manually aim the antenna and then fine tune using the rotor, it is satisfactory. The rotor control is weak and the range on the remote is short, but I will not use the rotor unless I have to change the location or strong winds move the antenna. Over-all, the antenna is quite satisfactory.
Amazing antenna!
June 12, 2016
I was very skeptical that this antenna would pull in distant stations any better than some more expensive ones we had tried, but this thing is amazing. We typically get 5 or 6 stations, with this we are getting 18 digital channels, some from as far as 125 miles. The major gripe I have is there is no indication of which way antenna is pointing. And since remote control is IR, you have to be in line of site to receiver. And from there I can't see antenna. So it is very iterative and annoying to change direction, and in our area you have to do that due to locations of stations. It needs a N-S-E-W indicator. Otherwise it works better than any antenna I've ever tried.
Works great and it beats paying a cable or satelite bill.
February 26, 2016
I bought the Amplified HD Digital Outdoor HDTV Antenna because I was tired of paying $95 for my Dish Network bill.
The Antenna shipped fast and was well packaged. Assembly was a snap. Just a few screws to mount the rotator motor, and a couple screws to put the signal receiving bars on.
The Antenna is made of mostly plastic but seems to be heavy duty so hopefully it will last.
As far as how well the Antenna works I live roughly 60 miles from the closest broadcast channels. I was able to pick up 8 channels just by putting the antenna in the window. I need to get a pole mounted outside so I can get the Antenna up higher in hopes of getting channels from another town the opposite direction.
So far I would recommend this Antenna.

December 18, 2015
This antenna works pretty well. We are approximately 50 miles (road) from a major city, and we are able to pick up quite a few channels with this antenna. We erected a hollow steel pole where we wanted to place the antenna, and attached it to a wooden fence with some "C" shaped holders, so that we can manually turn the antenna when we need to make it face a different direction. The remote to control how it turns, never worked for us, so we resorted to using the pole method. We did try to mount it in the attic, but it did not work for us, maybe we are just too far away from the transmissions.

Works some of the time
October 24, 2017
I've found many local stations unknown to me but have problems finding and keeping the major network stations programed in. I live in Houston, CBS station is located 25-30 miles from me. It's my primary objective and the most difficult to find and keep.I like the size of unit and ease of installation, pictures are clear but mostly on stations I'm not interested in watching. And yes I've programmed it a minimum of a dozen times attempting to get major local stations.
Great antenna, but needs a way to allow easy installation through walls
October 9, 2017
Nice antenna, works very well, but because I selected it for its longer wire, I was disappointed to find there is no way to easily detach and reattach the wire to allow it to be run through a small hole in a wall or ceiling. With the amplifier box and associated hardware, you'd need a HUGE hole to route this through a wall. Manufacturer should explore adding a shielded miniplug where the wire attaches to the antenna to allow easy and low-profile through-wall routing.
Results disappointing
May 18, 2017
out of the 16 stations that some of the reception websites show from 20-50 miles of me, I only get 4 of them. There are 5 within a mile of each other at 37 miles and same direction and I only get one. These 4 broadcasters plus 2 very near yield me about 18 channels so it is better than nothing but not what I hoped for.

May 11, 2017
After several tests for best reception I placed it on a window on the second floor facing an open area. Out of about 20 channels, maybe 3 or 4 come in clear without stuttering. The confusing thing is, the two main broadcast channels in the area (which should be the strongest) are the ones that still stutter. So I'm not over impressed with this product but it works ok. For boasting a 50 miles radius I should have no problem picking Boston channels (35 miles - I'm in Providence), so not being able to get clear local channels is annoying.
Test of Antenna
February 16, 2017
installation was straight forward. The number of TV stations picked up was affected by the location of the antenna. Placed on the glass window was best (14). The stations I wanted were not received so I returned the antenna and staying with satellite. Reception on the stations found by the system was goog.
Performance not as good as Rabbit Ears
December 21, 2016
I have been using Rabbit Ears for my internal antenna. I thought I would try this product since this design seems very popular and advertised a 50 mile range. I live in a smaller town, but have two large cities within 20 miles of my home. Using the auto channel scan on my TV, I got 43 channels with my rabbit ears and 38 channels with the 1byone. Though it "looks" nicer than $13 rabbit ears, the performance was not as good. I returned the product.

November 11, 2017
This is actually a well-designed antenna, and once I resolved some problems, it works well. The directions for assembly are horrible. The kit requires some assembly and they left out 4 screws. Not only that, the direction sheet list certain screws, that are different then what is described in the directions. The remote control was DOA. I had to resolder a cold joint on the board. So the bottom line, probably ok if you get a good one. or be ready to do some handy work. Also, it does come with two a cables, one form the antenna to the controller, and a short one from the controller to the TV..
No miracles
August 24, 2017
UHF performance is decent. VHF performance is nonexistent. One of the six stations here is VHF (and of course it's the one I'm most interested in) and where I can get spotty coverage of this station from bunny ears It's absolutely dead with this antenna. This is a bad VHF antenna. Not good at all.

"150 miles" might be possible in perfect conditions, say from one mountaintop to another where you can see the TV transmitter tower with a telescope. But for fun I pointed the antenna at a distant city and I was able to pull in some channels from 70 miles away.

As other reviewers noted, the rotor is quick, which can make it hard to dial in--especially if you aren't able to watch the antenna as you click. Another quirk is that though the remote has two buttons to make you think that one is left and one is right, they both do the same and should be labeled "TURN RANDOM DIRECTION" (there is a single button on the power injector labeled "Rotate", and this is I suppose much more accurate). You pretty much have to have eyes on to aim the antenna in a particular direction.

That said, once you have your stations all programmed into your television, the antenna is somewhat easier to use. If you hold the button, the antenna will turn and reverse when it hits the stop (i.e. if you keep holding the button, it would rotate 360 degrees left, then 360 degrees right, then 360 degrees left, and so on). So this way you could tune to the station and then just hold the button until the channel comes in. Not all that useful if you want to use your DVR.
ANTENNA - IT WORKS !!!!
July 16, 2017
The antenna does work! The instructions and directions were very poor in explaining how to make it all function. We are on a deer camp in the Texas hill country South of Llano, middle of Central Texas and do receive AUSTIN local channels about 90 miles away on this anteena. However, could not get San Antonio which is 120 miles away. The remote does rotate the antenna but no degree measurement. Made in China, it is of very poor quality........could not believe until I was putting the pieces together. YOU do really get what you pay for in this Antenna Kit. All parts were in the box. I did the install alone, however, would recommend you have a second person to help adjust antenna and TV.
A follow up
June 22, 2017
It's now been over a year with this antenna and it is still receiving channels. I am half way between Charleston SC and Savannah GA but the Chas channels are tough to get. I only have it mounted 6' off the ground and have bought some pvc pipe to get it above my roofline and this should help quite a bit. One suggestion for people that have bought this and lost channels is to replace the cable. I bought the amazon basic cable and the signal strength Improved greatly (it's cheaper than buying another antenna) Like most, my rotating drive has failed because the motor they use is woefully undersized and I had found plastic chips jammed in the drive gear. All in all it does what I need and works even in a downpour, unlike our directv.
Okay, good value for the price
February 25, 2017
I decided to cut the cord and pick up the local stations over the air. Originally I purchased one of the flat panel antennas you can hang on the wall, with advertised 50 mile range. The towers are just over 25 miles from my house. It picked up most the channels well, with the exception of FOX and when the wind or rain come the picture would go in and out on most all the channels. Decided to try this outdoor one with the 150 mile range to see if it would be more reliable. The antenna its self is kind of cheap looking, plastic parts, etc, but it seams study enough for hanging out on a pole. Assembly was easy, connections are easy, just to note, you only need to run the coaxial cable outside to the antenna, the amplifier that gets the 120v is inside next to the TV. It picks up a few more stations than the indoor 50 mile range one does, and it gets FOX really well, but it gets CBS worse, go figure. Also it has the same problems with wind and rain. So in the end, I switch back and forth between the two, and if its windy or rainy I watch Hulu.

May 27, 2016
I was able to assemble the antenna within about 15-minutes. It would have been quicker but one of the mounting holes was off center and not aligned with the rest; I had to drill a new pilot hole. The tolerances of the hole and the antenna pipe were tight; I had to sand the pipe end quite a lot to make the unit fit. Once I finally got it together and on the roof, I was able to receive stations from about 45-miles away, I have not tried any other directions for further stations. The one thing it is missing that would be extremely helpful is a direction indicator. I know the direction of stations particular stations but I have to move the antenna a little bit, go outside to check the direction then come in and do it again until it is in the proper location. Then I have to reassign stations. Other than what is mentioned above, stations do come in very clear.

Perhaps I made a mistake...
June 4, 2017
Perhaps living in a concrete house would prevent picture transmission. Received one channel, very snowy. Reminded me of the 50's, I thought I needed to go outside and rotate the antenna. Any suggestions, I do have a regular antenna, but haven't installed it because we live in typhoon alley.(Guam) I have not returned it, as I have to pay shipping both ways. So much for Amazon Prime.
It's cheap- and...Ok-ish.
April 26, 2017
This antenna while economic in pricepoint, has gliches in that it behaves just like a Direct TV satelite dish- where everytime it rains or there is any precipatation outside- the signal gets dicey or completely goes out. There are even instances where on clear days- I can't look at a major network station on 1080P hd without gliches. Well....overall the product is OK-ish- but in order to improve reception I'd have to buy a longer cord and stretch out to another window. Needless to say- regular network TV is option 3 behind AMazon FireStick, Sling TV and Netflix thru my PS3.
50 mile range questionable!!!
April 15, 2017
I assumed that as advertised (it's in the name) having a 50 mile range would more than suffice as I am about 20 miles from most of the broadcast towers that I would have excellent reception... NOT! I can't even get half the channels in the area, except for the side of my home that faces towards where the signals originate...

This antenna works effectively about half of the time. At times, I have had reception for 31 channels and without warning or explainable reason the reception drops to about 15 channels. I have to rescan and usually the signal gets progressively worse. I have HD antennas from other manufacturers such as Motorola, RadioShack and Craig which seem to be more effective in my local area.
I am a little surprised that Amazon is using this for its' Standard with the new Amazon TV. My recommendation is to shop around and find out which one has the best ratings and try it out if it's an Amazon prime option, and you have the ability to return it if it doesn't work out. This is a great idea if you live in an area where signals are very strong. However, I would not recommend it for beep all outside a metropolitan area.
No Live Ben Higgins for me!
January 16, 2016
Man oh man. I live on the second floor of an apartment building, so I did not expect to receive many channels. As long as I could watch Ben Higgins, I was set! Unboxed it and was confused about whether the plastic film was supposed to remain on the antenna (almost looked like it was meant to stay on!), but realized we could pull it off. After a bit of rain dancing around the living room to find reception, I was ecstatic to see ABC pop up! Also had the LAFF channel (never heard of it but it was playing Adventureland, so I was pleased!), and a Spanish channel. Tried the bedroom to see if I could catch a few more channels but soon learned 3 was the best I could get. Oddly enough, the windows did not work for either room.

Fast forward two days and neither the living room or bedroom provide even the tiniest sign of life. Back to watching The Bachelor on Tuesday mornings instead of live on Monday nights ): Really screws with my ability to participate in our bachelor bracket group texts! Ha ha.

I figure my apartment is just a difficult spot. Maybe one of my family members will have better luck trying it in a house vs my apartment.

Good Reception but Poor Rotor
October 4, 2017
Normally I like this design and have good results. As far as pulling in a signal this antennae is good (if not great). I frequently receive signals more than 100 miles away. The pre-amp is certainly a must in digital antennas. The reason for two stars is simply - when I recieved the antennae the rotor didn't work out of the box. I was more or less expecting the rotor to quit soon after installation but I certainly wasn't expecting it to arrive DOA. That being said, if you don't mind turning the antenna by hand - it's a good antenna.
Lousy directions and missing screws.
September 17, 2017
Antenna came but some screws were missing and it was impossible to assemble without them. I don't have a hardware store nearby to try to find the right size because everything I had on hand didn't fit. I tried to contact the seller, but seller did not respond. I had Asurian protection, and they were clueless too. No help. They said to go back to Amazon. Thankfully, Amazon DID come to the rescue to help me out. As far as I know, antenna probably works, but as of now it remains without the base. I held it up and connected the coax cable, and I did get some channels, so I gave it 2 stars. If you get one, have a hardware store nearby. It seems as if the turning mechanism would work if attached, but I don't know how accurate it is.
Decent antenna. Lousy motor control
September 13, 2017
This antenna appears to be highly directional and, during my testing, I was able to receive signals from transmitters about 75 miles away. HOWEVER... it's directionality also created a serious problem for me. I am able to receive signals from several distant transmitters, one to the West, two to the Northeast and several to the Southeast. That means the antenna must be rotated frequently to permit reception from several sources. The antenna was mounted on a tall mast and not in a direct line-of sight from the control (including the remote) so it was very difficult to aim it precisely in the direction of the transmitters. Unless the antenna is accurately pointed, the signal is unusable. Other motor-rotated antennas include a control/display that indicates the direction of the antenna. After a few days of struggling, I gave up and returned the antenna.

If you only need to point the antenna in one direction or in a narrow range and are willing to experiment, you may find it to be useful for you, but it was poorly suited for my needs
Junk
August 25, 2017
Well it works bringing in far (70) miles or so stations. I has to be mounted on a pole and the pole needs to be mounted onto a building or house. It was easy to put together. But the motor that turns it to fine tune quit after TWO moves, not 360 moves but like maybe 45-50 degrees. So I had to go back up the ladder and back onto the roof twice to see what happened, nothing was loose so i moved it by hand. I don't get all the channels I should. So I found a happy medium. Two stars because It's junk.
Not as good as Walmart's
August 17, 2017
I live about 50 miles from Modesto. With my $99 Walmart amplified antenna I get 24 channels. With this one I get 11. The adjustment feature is really useless for me. I ended up just aiming it where I got the most channels. But in the end I just put the Walmart one back up. I was hoping it would give me more channels as it says it can go 150 miles. Well that's funny, the Walmart one says 60. Also if I turn it off it's amplification it gets zero channels. Turn off the Walmart one and I still get 6.
You get what you pay for
August 9, 2017
When I first put the antenna up I was very happy with it. I received 19 digital channels even though my house is in the middle of the woods. However, one day later I am receiving about half that many channels. Most likely that wouldn't be a problem if the antenna would rotate the way it is advertised. Unfortunately, after only one day the motor is apparently burned out. Which means I either have to put up with it or climb on the roof to manually adjust the antenna. Additionally, assembling the antenna is not as easy as it should be. There is a square metal rod that fits into the base that was so difficult to get in I had to disassemble the case in order to insert it. I wish that I would have purchased a more robust antenna.

Not worth it for me, but out of main city so...
November 21, 2016
It didn't work for me. I live in Temecula Ca, too far from major city like LA or San Diego to get good reception. Only got 12+/- stations most non traditional (Korean, Spanish or other) was hoping to get local ABC, NBC, CBS or CW. I got nothing worthwhile. Returned it. It seemed like a nice unit though, easy to hook up. Just did not work in my area.

August 15, 2016
Bought this for my sister who lives 20 minutes (less than 25 miles) from our larger city. She could not get any reception at all in her small town and this antenna made no difference. I'm going to try it for our camper, but am not very hopeful.
Did not work
July 15, 2016
Returning. This picked up two channels and the connection was horrible. The stations kept cutting out. I do not live in a super rural area either. Returning.
No better than rabbit ears.
May 30, 2016
The antenna is very susceptible to changes in the weather. Interestingly, it gets the best reception on cloudy, rainy days, on clear sunny days half the local channels will not come in. Really not impressed. No better than the rabbit ears I had used prior to buying this.

October 11, 2015
The video attached to the product I purchased was very misleading. I purchased the item based on the video review and when I got the product it was not the same product shown. I think this video should not be apart of the item purchased. I am going to send item back due to this misrepresentation of my purchase

Failed after a year
September 13, 2017
It lasted a little over a year. Motor controls never worked, but that was fine since I pointed it in the direction I needed it and didn't want it to move. All was great, then it quit working. The light on the outside doesn't come on anymore. I am buying a replacement that is similar but a bit more robust. I will replace antenna first and then control box to to see where the point of failure was and report back, I assume it is on the antenna side since it doesn't light up and the box still does. I will also be taking it apart and hopefully just replacing some minor component so I'll have a spare.

I wish I could pin down a failure reason, it was working fine through lightning storms and through winter freeze, then just failed out of the blue on a beautiful day with no wind or significant heat/cold.
Disappointing
September 11, 2017
It just doesn't work. I installed it per instructions but even the first day I received only 2 stations- a CBS affiliate 40 miles away and a PBS station 14 miles away. The antenna advertising says it reaches 120 miles, and I know there are more than 20 stations within that distance. The second day as I was watching the CBS affiliate the station slowly faded to black screen, and I couldn't receive either station. Plus, the antenna rotator didn't work. I had to stand on my 2 story roof and manually rotate the antenna while trying to receive any TV stations. Emails to the company never received a reply, including my request for return and refund instructions. I finally bought another antenna and receive over 20 stations. Very disappointing.
Does not work - do not buy
August 14, 2017
I tried this antenna out and according to my LG OLEDE5P set, there was no signal strength - that's zero, as in none, nada. I also tried out an old rabbit ear antenna with a bow tie antenna for UHF. I managed to get one local station with that but again, I got nothing with this antenna.

If you buy it and decide to send it back, don't force the back reflectors to fold back up again. They lock into position and you will damage the cheap plastic housing if you force it. You'll need to figure out how to unlock the reflectors to fold them back up.
Died after 45 days, power led light on antenna no longer comes on
July 7, 2016
Lots of plastic components, Has to be from China. However I had a Mohu Leaf 60 indoors and didn't get VHF 12.x or 25.x (ABC and NBC), both stations are 22 miles away. Florida is flat. So an expensive Mohu 60 mile indoor antenna wasn't cutting it. I stuck this on a 25ft pole and now get both channels crystal clear. All starions near me are in same general direction. Other option I considered was the Mohu Sky or Winegard or ChannelMaster products.

Update bought May 24 and it died on July 6 2016. The power light on the main unit on antenna no longer comes on. I live in North Florida and outdoor heat was 97 degrees last week. Didn't survive the heat being outdoors I bet. Plan to look at the Mohu Sky 60 on same pole.
Amplifier failed after a month
May 26, 2016
I selected this Antenna based on the Description on Amazon. The Antenna looks special but the looks are deceiving. I wasn't able to get channels from our local station 12 miles away. With lots of up and down the Ladder making adjustment I finally got 2 stations.
I was able to receive the two station for about a month; then the Amplifier quit working. Junk, don't buy.
The Rotor is unbelievably poor design. There is no indication of where it is pointing. You need to go outside and see where it is pointing. When you push a button, one time it will rotate left... The next time it may rotate right. Very poor resolution. I purchased a simple C shaped Antenna for less money and it got all the channels and one I didn't know existed.
Don't waste your time or money, it isn't worth it. It may work at first but it will fail.
and the control box hums and chatters like it has 10000 volts going through it
January 12, 2016
Bought, Installed (after having to clear flashing from almost every assembly hole with a drill), no instructions, no short wire from box to tv, no way to tell what way the antenna turns without seeing it, and the control box hums and chatters like it has 10000 volts going through it. NOT UL LISTED. On top of that, we got less channels with it while it worked than with a piece of coax thrown over a tree branch (what we had before). LESS channels. Box has to be powered at all times for the 'amp' to work. Only mine didn't. It bitched up and gave an orange light within 5 minutes of powering up, and then I started to smell electrical smell and smoke..by now the transformer in the box is literally growling and chattering. Return requested, lucky it DIDN'T BURN OUR HOUSE DOWN. Thanks amazon, this can go with the pc that shipped with bad ram, and the roku tv that arrived broken. Im starting to wonder if Amazon doesnt buy the returns from major companies and cross their fingers! I go through a reputable online seller like Amazon to AVOID things like this happening. Hasn't done me a lot of good. :(
