Review on πŸ“‘ Enhance TV Reception with Lava Omnipro HD-8008 Omni-Directional HDTV Antenna by Brad Blake

Revainrating 1 out of 5

That does not work!

Like many people, I bought many items of exceptional and good quality until I bought and received this omnidirectional antenna so excited I can finally cut the cable with the cable company! After moving this antenna from the attic, side of the house to the other, end of the house to the other, mounting it high and not very high for more than 3 months, I have had very limited or no reception. From time to time I had fantastic reception on several channels, but it didn't last long. Often not even an hour passed, and everything came "no signal". One thing I found out through a lot of research is, that there is no such thing as a multidirectional antenna. You have to point the antenna in the direction of the cell towers, and even then it sucks if you get a signal. I'm rating this antenna as a POS and now I'm stuck because I spent too much time thinking and believing that they would work and eventually save me a $200 monthly bill. I live in western North Carolina on a mountain where I'm over 2500 feet and I can physically see the numerous transmission towers but I can't get a stable signal or in many cases no signal at all.

Pros
  • Constant test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
