I'm not sure if my active antenna was "broken" but the picture quality continued to deteriorate and I started missing channels. So I went looking for something else like what I had, just didn't do it. It takes about a minute to "assemble" which is basically just opening the "wings" and locking them into place. Then plug it in and see what happens. I have better picture quality, stronger signal and more channels. It was "in there too" but it comes with a bracket to fit my old satellite dish bracket which is just a u-bolt and bracket plus one screw needed for assembly. The stairs took longer to install than it did to install them. If installed outside it should work even better, although I haven't scanned the channels yet to see if I have anything new.
