Review on ๐Ÿ“ก OptimizeTV Outdoor Antenna - Digital Amplified HDTV Antenna with Motorized 360ยฐ Rotation, Wireless Remote, 1080p/4K Ready, up to 150 Miles Range, 40ft Coax Cable, and Mini Indoor TV Antenna by Jeff Wells

Revainrating 3 out of 5

There is no better antenna. I live 80 miles south of one of them.

This is the fifth antenna I have bought in four years. You won't find a better antenna for the price. I live 80 miles south of one metro area and 60 miles west of another. This antenna receives a total of 40 transmitters from these two areas, including almost all transmitters that broadcast wirelessly from these areas. There are several reasons I can't rate it higher than three stars. The antenna is very cheaply made. It is fragile and can easily break, resulting in decreased sensitivity or inoperability. You have to be very careful when assembling the item and putting it on the pole, otherwise you will break something. Another (serious) issue with the antenna is operation in light to moderate winds. There is no mechanism to keep the antenna in the right direction other than friction (antenna control off) or motor torque at rest (antenna control on). almost constant adjustment. Even moderate winds (20 mph and above) can damage the antenna due to its design and very cheap materials. Even so, I still buy one if mine breaks because at about $35 a year it's cheaper than paying for a cable.

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Too long to wait
