Review on McDuory Digital HDTV Outdoor Amplified Antenna - 150 Miles Range - Mounting Pole πŸ“Ί & 40 ft RG6 Coaxial Cable - Advanced Performance in UHF & VHF - Hassle-Free Installation by John Carter

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Works well but not impressive and out of specs

We recently ran a cable and I installed this antenna on the roof to receive OTA broadcasts. It works decently, but even with the booster lights on on both the antenna and the Power Injector, I don't get close to 150 miles. I'm getting signals 50-60 miles away, but certainly no further. I know there are many other stations within 100 miles that I cannot pick up which is disappointing compared to the performance of this antenna. I noticed that rotating the antenna made little difference, but even with rotating the antenna at different angles at one of our local TV stations, it was still iffy. The antenna is on top of my roof in a rural residential area, so there are very few buildings around us that could weaken the RF signal. it is assembled correctly. It would be helpful to also provide instructions on how to point the antenna. For reference, this antenna is connected to a 4-port Channel Master CM3414 distribution amplifier, which is then connected to various locations around my house. All my TVs behave the same on all available channels. So that doesn't mean that I have a TV that is better or worse than others.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • A bit crumpled
