Review on Winegard FlatWave Amplified Antenna FL5500Y by Nick Cleary

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Winegard Flatwave Amped Indoor Antenna

I wasn't impressed with the Winegard Flatwave Amped Internal Amplified HDTV Antenna. I bought this for my mum who got about 6 clear channels of reception with a much older digital antenna. She has an old TV. With the Winegard Flatwave antenna she would only get 4-5 additional channels. Altogether we were able to receive a total of 9 to 11 stations with the help of the new antenna. Some of them were repeat channels. At night you can receive a few more channels, 13-14 on average at most. I spent two days placing the antenna in several places in the house, upstairs and downstairs, including windows, to find out where I could get the best reception. It's a bit disappointing, I don't recommend it to others.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other options
