Review on Lava Electronics HD 2605 Antenna Control by Byron Forman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Plastic deteriorates after 5 years, but reception is excellent.

Good:*Reception up to 110km.*Comes with universal rotary/signal booster.*Lightweight and easy to assemble.*Average cost $15/year for 5 years. vs. $100+ per month for cable TV. Cable costs continue to rise. I've typically saved about $6,000 over 5 years. * Paired with a ROKU box so I could stream other content when nothing good was on the air. Bad: * Bought five years ago. After that, the plastic became brittle and sun-damaged. The rotator no longer works. * There is no way to determine the direction of the antenna unless you go outside. The remote control shows no direction. * The included cable is cheap. You'll need to go to a hardware store and buy a good quality RG6 cable.* I think you can live a few more years if you paint the plastic parts to slow down wear in the sun. I don't know how that affects reception.

Pros
  • New
Cons
