User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars great HDTV antenna
My brother-in-law got the smaller range antenna and really liked it so I got this one since I live about 25 miles further from the station towers. It allows me to get all my HDTV stations offered, where before I could only get about half on a good day. I am not disappointed and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great antenna.
5 Stars Fully satisifed.
Most TV broadcast towers are 35 miles north (14 or 15 degree) and this mid-size antenna did its jobs. I got more than 40 HD channels and couple analog channels. Trully speaking, I am very impressed by what it delivers with its size and shape.
5 Stars Excellent Reception even in Bad Weather!
After doing much research on antennas I bought this one over my other choice the Terk HDTVO, and I’m glad I did. I was skeptical because of the color code (as listed on antennaweb) not being clearly defined,the different distance ratings on several websites, and the directional or bi-directional terms. I live in a suburb of Daytona Beach Fla and I get excellent reception, even in really bad weather this antenna didn’t miss a blink! I get all the major networks and a total of 36 different channels, 90-95% signal strength on all channels available in central fla area,all of the blue and purple coded channels on antennaweb are coming in good, they are all coming from the Orlando direction and the farthest away is 36.5 miles.and only in the morning and evening I get a couple channels from Tampa and West Palm Beach!
I mounted it in my attic (single story home) at the highest point, then I split the signal to 3 rooms and then split it again in the living room to 2 different converter boxes so that I could record one show while watching another ( I hooked up a second amp in the living room before splitting it again) and the reception is still at 90-95% on all channels. I mounted the antenna outside on our old satellite bracket on the roof and mini mast (pole) just see how it would do and the signal isn’t as strong as inside the attic but still came in ok, but there are 2 large trees in front of the signal path where i tried it. I did find that the higher the antenna is in my attic the stronger the signal strength is.
This antenna is lightweight (only 5 lbs) and very easy to install and deal with, I chose this one because I was afraid the Terk would be harder to maneuver around with in my attic because of the wider and bulkier shape, and it saved me money too, the only down side is it doesn’t come with a mast to mount on but it does fine in my attic and is not out in the elements.
1 Star No channels
I had to return this because i could only pick up about 5 channels. I had another that could pick
up more than this one and it was cheaper.
5 Stars Winegard GS-2200 DTV Antenna
I have this antenna mounted to pole outside my house. It does a great job bringing in DTV signals from several local stations. A few of the stations transmit from a tower that is 22 air miles away. It is a directional antenna so it picks up signals in the general direction it is pointed, not behind it. Any problems with reception are likely due to the receiver it is connected to. I use two different receivers (different brands) with this antenna. Each receiver reports a different signal strength from the same antenna.
