Review on 1byone 360° Omni-Directional Amplified Outdoor HDTV Antenna | Long Range Reception for 4K, 1080P UHF VHF Free Channels | Indoor/Outdoor/RV/Attic Use by Stephen Thomas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

An inexpensive antenna that will likely increase your signal strength

I live about 30 miles from Atlanta. I switched to this from a ClearStream digital outdoor antenna. Reception was acceptable with ClearStream, but a few other channels I watched were spotty. I also use a 120v signal booster right in the house. This antenna is longer than the ClearStream. Before I replaced my ClearStream antenna, I used my Tivo Bolt to measure the signal strength for the main channels so I could compare the two antennas. 1byone's building guide was a small piece of paper, so don't expect much help from them. My antenna is mounted on my rear deck so physical replacement was very easy. I pointed 1byone in the right direction and went inside to measure the signal strength. The results showed that almost every one of about 30 channels showed an increase in signal strength and only 2 channels showed a decrease. The good news is that the 2 channels that showed signal degradation don't often get pixelated, and the 2 channels that were frequently pixelated with ClearStream no longer do. I even recognize a few new channels that ClearStream didn't use. Definitely worth the cost.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Pretty good
