Review on Omnidirectional Reception Exclusive Smartpass Amplified by Adam Matthews

Revainrating 1 out of 5

It doesn't work within the advertised 25-mile range.

I bought this antenna to replace the simplest rabbit ear antenna ever. My wife didn't want to see the antenna or the wire. So that should have been the perfect solution. All major networks as well as niche stations are less than 15 miles from us. So let's compare - rabbit ears received a signal and clearly allowed you to see all major networks, PBS, CW, ION, Univision. , Telemundo and many other peripheral channels. 1byone, not so much. He couldn't receive all the channels that have bunny ears no matter where he was. High, low, left, right, I even tried putting it on a window facing 4 main nets - no bueno! The best he could do anywhere was 2 strong and 1 weak, and they changed depending on where he was placed. This is the most confusing part as all four major stations are in the same area, not very far apart. Hmmm? I ordered a full size GE loft antenna that I want to connect to coax cables already running around the house. I hope this is taken care of. Even if an amplifier is required to get a good signal to all outputs. I would recommend trying a different product - unless you can see a transmission tower from your home, in which case this antenna might work well!

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
