When I first opened the box, I was skeptical about how well the antenna would work or hold up due to what seems like flimsy material. Once installed and connected to the main line into the house, 3 TVs scanned over 40 channels each! However, since day 2 almost half of those channels don't come in. The remote to turn the antenna works perfectly, but I haven't messed with changing directions because all the major broadcast stations are in one direction, so if I turn it I'll likely lose those and have to turn it back anyway. I wish I didn't have to rescan for channels every time I turn the antenna. So it would be nice if new channels would just show up as the antenna rotated. Overall, excellent reception for what is tuned in. What remains to be seen will be how well it holds up once winter hits with cold temps, snow, etc.Read full review

After getting it all put together, which took about 15 minutes my first impression was it felt "cheaply" made.I then installed it on a pole with an overall height of about 25'. I pointed it to where most of the stations I was able to receive on the replaced antenna and went inside, scanned and got nothing new. So I attempted to rotate the antenna, which does rotate, but to my chagrin, the antenna only has about a 180° turn radius. So i re-pointed the antenna and made numerous movements left and right in an attempt to get additional channels. In a nutshell, this was a waste of money. I can receive no channels other than the 9 I already receive. Those channels are about 45-50 air miles max from my location. My area is relatively flat being in west TN about 1/2 way between Memphis and Nashville. There are supposed to be channels due north as well as ENE of me within 90 air miles but this antenna did nothing. I at least got some ghosting with the other antenna I had mounted in the exact same position. This antenna also was easily interrupted by the wind, birds whatever constantly pixelating channels that came in very strong, without pixelating on the other antenna. I have pulled this antenna and gone back to my original antenna. I would guess if you are within say 50 miles of a larger city this antenna would do the trick nicely. If you are far away from larger cities, trust me this will probably not be the answer, if this thing is a 150 mile antenna then it has to be mounted at 100 feet or more. No way, on relatively flat land at 25-30 foot height it is getting anything beyond probably 50 miles, at best assuming the stations are all in one direction of you since it does not rotate beyond 180 degrees.Read full review
