DOES NOT WORK AS RECOMMENDED!

Not 360 degrees! Not 65 miles! I'm on a hill in Pittsburgh with a direct line to TV stations with towers in both directions. Most channels come from one direction and are 5 to 10 miles apart. A canal comes from another direction and is 8 miles away; So I chose this antenna with 360 degree factor. 3 reputable websites checked for local channel direction and signal strength. They all said I could use an indoor antenna for a good signal. Realizing I needed a great signal I bought this antenna and mounting stand for an additional fee. Plugged it into my new TiVo Roamio and the signals I got were rubbish. Don't even think about the duct from the other side because it breaks all the time. I went to Roamio and checked the signal strength, all signals were less than 50% so I decided to use the booster that came with the antenna. When I plugged in the amp I got "NO SIGNAL" so I unplugged it and ran a scan again, then plugged it in and ran a scan. Nothing! Finally got another amp from the company that passed the signal but didn't improve the signal?!?! Oh, did I mention I study computer electronics?!? This antenna is no better than half its price; maybe even worse. It gets good reviews from people who had no or bad antenna. Don't buy this.

Pros
  • Well built
Cons
