Review on Quick Assembly Outdoor Digital HDTV ATSC TV DTV Antenna for UHF VHF FM by Lucia Ingalls

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I've had better: Antennas

If you're having trouble picking up digital channels that were easy to pick up when they were analogue, this antenna will pick you up, but SOMETIMES it will pixelate messages without a beep on your TV UNLESS the antenna is pointing DIRECTLY at the broadcast tower. This is not due to the antenna, but to physics. A signal gain of 6dB VHF and 10dB UHF is not enough to reliably receive some signals unless you have an antenna rotor. I installed this antenna in the attic above the stairs to the basement. It's on a wooden pole that sticks through the ceiling so I can rotate the antenna if needed without having to go outside. A poor man's rotor, but it gets the job done.

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Big and bulky
