Review on πŸ“Ί High Performance TVxf Indoor/Outdoor TV Antenna - US Patent No. US D849,723 S - Made in the USA by George Bell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product in a small package, made in USA

As you can see from the size, this is a very small, almost all metal antenna. Not overly impressive when you open it up, but in my experience the reception rivals 3-4 foot Yagi antennas. In the attic I get a signal 84 miles from the TV tower and others 65 miles along with closer stations. Of course, coverage varies by location, so it's worth spending a little time researching the availability of OTA signals in your area. Check out the TVFool websites and FCC signal cards. The small size and light weight of the antenna makes it incredibly easy to install almost anywhere. Just a few screws and you're in business once you've determined the best spot for signal quality. It's fairly directional, so determine the direction of your area's signals from the locations above. If you live in an area with moderate signal strength and take the time to experiment with finding an antenna, you'll likely be very happy. This is probably not an antenna for distant, hard-to-reach stations, and while it will pick up VHF signals in addition to UHF signals, VHF signals appear to be more limited in range. All in all, for the money, extremely easy installation, and good signal quality, this is a winner. Included are helpful instructions, approximately 16 feet of cable, and an optional reflex reflector for difficult reception situations. An RG-6 rated cable will probably provide the best quality, but the cable that comes with it is probably easier to use at home.
