Range 200km? LOL 30-60 MAX 40' IN AIR

Update: I've had this product for a long time. It sits on my roof on a 35 foot antenna mast and I'm still only getting 17 channels with any degree of reliability. The maximum distance I can get to the tower is about 60 miles, but towers that are only 30 miles away will not be picked up. I'm down on the river so it's affecting it, but on a 35ft mast with almost 40ft of air I should be getting a lot more channels in this one. The thing is very thin and if it falls to the ground due to lack of waste, next time it will be bent and scrap. I just go to Menards or Lowe's and buy a $100 RCA which has a more realistic 80-100 mile range. This thing is advertised as having a 200 mile range and it is absolutely BS, best I can get at 40 feet in the air and a relatively populated area is 60 miles and 17 channels. by zip code and address at TV Narren. Com through their own website before you buy this. I went to their website after setting it up 15ft in the air and on their own website it said I would only receive 5 channels and the max distance is 60 miles. Not all canals are within 60 miles. however, were included based on the strength of their tower. After spending all that money and time assembling and installing this antenna, I only got four more channels than I could with a cheap $20 dollar family indoor antenna. The motor works and rotates the antenna, but where the motor connects it is very flimsy and flexible and wobbles everywhere. It is made of very thin aluminum and plastic. I don't see him doing well outdoors. There is a rubber boot connecting the cable to the antenna which is supposed to keep it waterproof but the clip they give you to seal it doesn't seal it at all so I highly doubt it's waterproof. The 40 foot cable that you get with the device is very cheap. It doesn't look like the cable you get from a cable company or anything, it doesn't even look like it was meant for the street. Again, all you have to do is head over to the TV to see if this thing works for you. To deceive. Com which is available through the retailer's website. Enter your address or zip code, tell it how high the antenna will be above the ground and it will tell you exactly how many channels you can receive. It will tell you how far away the canals are and it will tell you where the canals are. The antenna was 100 feet off the ground, and even then I only got 8 channels according to the seller's own website. It is advertised up to 200 miles away. Unless you've been to a mountain in Colorado, I highly doubt you'll be able to rack up that many acceptance miles. Even when I set the ground level to 100 feet, the maximum channel reception distance was 68 miles. Most canals that were 68 miles or less away were still not included in the channels I was able to receive due to weak signal from towers or small hills in the way. Ma, Michigan, there aren't many big hills to interfere with reception. When you go on TV, fool. Com through your home antenna provider's own website.com you can see how far you can receive channels based on your precise location. This takes the guesswork out of it and lets you know if this device is worth buying. received nine channels with an indoor antenna. I find it a bit misleading to tell people they can receive channels up to 200 miles away when their own website actually claims you most likely won't receive anything over 50 miles or so. Another thing to consider is that when I first received the box the seller had a sticker on the outside asking them to go to Revain and give them a review in exchange for a free gift. There was also a piece of paper in the box, offer the same free gifts for reviews. I went to their website home antenna.com to see what the freebies were and there is no link anywhere on their website to look at freebies. As far as I can see there is no mention of freebies. There are no freebies. I think Revain should discourage sellers from offering freebies for reviews. To me, this ruins the quality of the reviews we might otherwise have received and makes me suspicious, shopping through Revain as so many of my purchases are based on these reviews. If these reviews get paid, I don't. I don't think they're likely to be honest. Please stop offering freebies for reviews and start selling quality products that meet your needs. I wanted to give three stars, but I changed it to 1 because of the high price, the long construction period, the weakness, the reviews of the purchase and above all the lack of reception. I suspect most would give less if they gave an honest review. And no, I did not receive a free gift for this review. that they are probably honest.
