Antennas Direct 8-Element Bowtie UHF Outdoor HDTV Antenna, Multi-Directional, 70+ Mile Range, 4K 8K UHD NEXTGEN TV – w/All-Weather Mounting Hardware

These work great and pickup all UHF local channels in Orlando. The farthest reliable signal I get is from a Melbourne station about 60 miles away. Surprisingly, it's through a large Oak tree as well. To get the best out of this, you need to point them correctly. I used a DTV App and then had a helper inside looking at signal strength as I made small adjustments. All in all the systems work great. I needed a VHF system which this didn't have, so I got another combiner and added one. Sometimes the dew in the morning degrades signal but not to the point of complete loss. Picture quality is amazing. I also suggest a pre amp and then a multi tap amp to TVs. Use only high quality coax and do the connectors yourself to ensure good picture quality.

I *HAD* to write a review for this antenna. I am 71 years old, audio-phyle since age 16, put up LOTS of antenna's just for FM, I know my antenna's. My 11yo grandson and I assembled and installed it yesterday. Took about 2hrs, including mounting time. This one is well-made, it actually has 8 (eight!!) driven active elements. Any one of them will receive UHF perfectly all by itself. Well, this is an 8-element array, where each one is CORRECTLY joined together in parallel, literally stacking the signal received eight times. Now what was weak, pixelated, is clear, solid, HD digital OTA TV. Oh, it comes with a combiner and all necessary hardware to mount on a pole. I eliminated that stuff and screwed the antenna directly to the side of my house near the peak, works fantastic and no unsightly pole. Know that I could do this because all stations in my area are together and in that direction, so this may not apply to you. The antenna being (basically) flat was the reason I bought it so I could do this. YAGI and highly directional antenna won't mount like this. Soo, Yup, a great antenna, pretty good price for what you get, made with high quality and has a good perfgormance.

Live in Upstate NY where we are about 50 miles aways from three different major market cities. Pointed one of the 4 bowtie bays toward Binghamton and the other toward Syracuse. After scanning the TV for newly detected/received channels, happy to report that multiple channels were received from both cities. The unit was easy to assemble. Very happy with the performance! Update: The antenna is attached to a metal pole. Will spin in the wind. The clamping mechanisms of the antenna appear not to dig in sufficiently to keep it in place with wind. Yes, there are two clamps but one uses the plastic housing for the UHF combiner and cannot be tightened sufficiently to prevent the antenna from spinning in the wind. Update 2: Contacted support for the spinning issue. Was told to use duct tape and cable ties to effect repair of the outdoor antenna. Seems a NASCAR guy was on the support desk. They did not say if I needed 200 MPH duct tape or just regular tape. Unacceptable solution.

After numerous power outages lately (that also invariable knock out our cable/internet service), I figured I'd try to get my old rooftop antenna wired up and working so I could run on generator and catch the local news at least. I had previously run some RG6 to my antenna, but it was years since I tried to pick anything up on it, especially after a lot of the locals moved from VHF to UHF. The old yagi covered both ranges just fine, but it was in rough shape... I'd guess it's probably 30+ years old, maybe more. Well, it didn't do that great. I picked up a grand total of 3 UHF frequencies with enough signal that my TV actually recognized them. And one of those was so intermittent, it was basically unwatchable. Then I bought an amp, because I'm running nearly 100' of coax and I figured I was probably losing enough signal that it degraded too much. Same result though. I even took my little TV to the roof, hooked into the antenna directly, made sure it was pointed the right way, and got the same lousy results. So... I did my research and figured that for my situation, I'd try a bowtie instead of another yagi. Pulling the old antenna down was probably harder than putting the new one up. The nuts on the bracket had rusted nearly solid, but I finally got them going. Installing the new one was only tricky for me because I have a parallel mast attached to the main mast, supporting a ham antenna higher up. So it was a difficult job to get the new brackets in place, but that was my deal, and I finally made it work. I hooked up directly to the antenna and was pleasantly surprised that I was now able to pick up 7 frequencies (I won't bother listing how many channels that is since that includes subchannels...just suffice to say, it picks up way more). My only real gripe is that for me, there are some stations that I pick up better if I tilt the antenna above the horizon... maybe 10 degrees? It's too bad there's no easy way to add this tilt to the setup besides adding spacers to the lower mast bracket to achieve the desired result. But adding that tilt makes all the difference... I pick up 3 more frequencies that I didn't before (10 total now), and the others come in stronger. That's because some of the channels aren't quite line-of-sight. Maybe that, and the nearby vegetation (lots of tall trees) make aiming higher a better solution. One interesting thing... I have the VHF add-on on order, but it hasn't shown up yet (shipped separately). I was surprised to see that this UHF-only antenna actually picks up a couple of the local VHF broadcasts. One of them was strong enough to tune and watch just fine. But when I tilted up to improve UHF reception, I lost that VHF channel. I think it'll come back okay once I actually add the VHF antenna to the setup. But anyway, I thought that was a tidbit worth mentioning. I mean, that channel went from 60% to 29% just by tilting up a few degrees. Weird. It's 37 miles away so it was probably a fluke I picked it up at all without any specific VHF elements. It's Fox 13 in the Seattle market, FYI. They do have a UHF translator that's lower power, but I can actually get that okay even from 28+ miles away.

Recepción normal, no esperes que incremente mucho la señal, aparte es muy pesada y requiere un mástil con tensores para que no vibre tanto.

Easy to assemble and to install. Martin from Antennas Direct advised me to buy this type of antenna, and he was right. With a compass and the coordinates from TVfool.com, and finding the best spot on my roof, I installed the antenna with no problem. I recommend with no hesitation Antennas Direct for everybody needing an antenna. Don't forget, the antenna that is needed, is not necessarily the same for every house. Antennas Direct was an incredible help. Before, I was receiving 8 channels, now I'm receiving 13, sometime 14. There are two towers in my region and each of the two sections of the antenna is directing to one different tower. I can't get more channel because that's all there is where I live. Those who are not happy with this antenna, don't blame blindly the antenna. There are different reason why it might not work for you, take time to read how it works. Topography of your region, trees; density, size, and height of buildings between you and the towers can affect, etc. The position on your roof can affect too. This antenna is very good.

I am in Laval, QC. Installed the antenna in attic of 2 storey house with split heading to 110 and 200 deg and got 33 local and US channels. Works excellent in normal weather conditions. Do not know yet how it performs during snow/rain.

Aún no la instalo al 100% para poder dar una mejor y más completa reseña, pero los materiales se ven de buena calidad, espero sea duradera y cumpla con su propósito

This antenna allows for 2 separate 4 bays to aim at 2 transmitter locations or all 8 bays aimed at one group if i only had one location to aim at i would probably use a single long range antenna but this works for me because i have multiple locations to aim at and receive signals from across lake ontario ...i use a compass and regularly pull in 40 channels. It would be nice to have 4 separate 2 bays to aim .. i have an inline booster i havnt even tried yet so if you have a clear path with 1-2 locations to aim at this antenna is very good !!!!!!
