Five Star Outdoor Antenna HD TV 200 Miles Range with Motorized 360° Rotation, UHF/VHF/FM Radio with Infrared Remote Control Plus Installation Kit & Mounting Pole

OK , I live about 65 miles North of Atlanta , Ga. put this on a 30 ft. pole at end of house , I get about 109 channels . Love it , Get a lot more channels than had with basic cable and on my Sony TV's comes in crystal clear. I do have 5 TV's so I got 3 antenna , and since I live in the country not a subdivision , this is No big deal.

pulls in 30 station

Good design but built very flimsy, I doubt it can withstand eny high wind. Works excellent! Much better than similar antennas ( But the advertised 200 mile range is impossible to reach because of the curvature of earth) but pulls in stations at 60 miles in the north Georgia mountains very well. Great antenna for a protected area.. attic/low to roof,etc .

After putting the antenna together, I preceded to mount it. Couldn't wait to watch local TV channels again. Trying to focus in to get a signal, NO MOVEMENT OF THE ANTENNA SIGNAL AT ALL. I have other antennas with the remote in different parts of the house. THEY WORK FINE. This NEW antenna NEVER MOVED AT ALL, I contacted the seller! NO response. I DO NOT recommend this product. Such a great selling description but the worst results I have ever gotten. I had another type of antenna in another part of my house. Decided to see if that one would work on my tv in the living room. GREAT PICTURE. What a waste of time and money. Just to let you know, I live out in the country with trees. No service for cable use. Never had a problem. Do your research first. Rely on what the reviews are saying. Trust your gut!

First let's cover a few things about antennas in general.There's not much can go wrong with the antenna itself.This is a directional antenna, It must point towards the transmitter to get decent reception.Hint: get out you compass and find where your large metro area is located in relation to your location.FM/ VHF / UHF is good for 75 Miles. Maximum. Ideal conditions. 200 miles? In their dreams.Hills, trees, large buildings anything that blocks line-or-sight will attenuate the signal.You must use a good quality cable without breaks or damage.If a splitter is used, it must be the type that can pass power AND you must use the ports that are labeled "POWER IN/OUT".The directions are really poor, so you need to know a little about setting up an amplified antenna.Even I had to call tech support. (I tightened the clamp that held the cable too tight, the rotor was prevented from turning the whole way 'round) Their tech support is very good. Be polite.Lastly, unless you're right on top of the tower you're trying to reach, you really need to put this on top of your house, as high as possible. I tried the attic location, not much improvement. Then I installed it outside, on the chimney. Big difference.

The questions asked on the outset of doing this review covered exactly what they want everyone to respond to, but that is only what's on the surface. Yes, when the antenna is pointed in the right direction the picture is good. That's not because the antenna is somehow superior, it's because it is doing what it is supposed to do - exactly what metal bars pointed at a TV signal will naturally do. Yes, it was easy to assemble - installation was "easy" as long as you're comfortable on the roof of your house. But, the part of this thing that bothered me, and the thing I never got a definitive answer about was the "rotation" device and how it "should work". AND, this is something I asked about 6 ways from Sunday only to get a throng of ambiguous answers to.My experience rotating the antenna: I pressed the button & the antenna would move to the right. I would stop the antenna nearing a strong signal (it moves pretty fast by the way) then when I pressed the button again, expecting it to continue to move to the right, it would then rotate left. Seeing this I stopped it. When I pressed the button again it would move left again. I stopped it, pressed again & it moves right. I near the position where I started & stop fearing I would pass the strong signal point (again, it moves pretty fast) I then press the button again & again it moves to the left. So, I continue to the left until it cannot go any farther at which point it reverses direction. Okay, now I am moving it to the right & go passed the point where I have gotten a strong signal thinking when I stop it, it is going to go left as it did before... not the case, it continued to move to the right. I stop it, it moves left. I get close to the strong signal, stop & then try to nudge it a bit more to the left & it moves right again. The bottom line is the rotator is a total mystery as to what you can expect when trying to position the antenna. You NEVER know which direction it will move regardless of what you think is going to happen when you press the button. Your best bet is to place it as high in the air as you can, point it with the help of someone in the house using a your cell phone for communication & forget this piece of sh*t rotation device because it's a piece of junk.You can write to this company until you are blue in the face & explain what's happening as clearly as I have here and they will send you replies that make absolutely no sense which provide no solutions to your questions. Take my advice, there are way cheaper antennas out there that cost way less & will perform exactly as this one does, but without the stupid rotation device... cause in the end an antenna is an antenna - there is no such thing as an HDTV antenna. They are all just simply antennas & will pick up HD & 4K digital signals over the air. I feel foolish for buying this one. Not because I thought there was such a thing as an HDTV antenna, but rather because I liked the idea of having that stupid rotator which I thought would make things easier overall. Take it from this sucker... buy anything but this antenna.

I’ve purchased several of these types of antennas over the years and this one has the highest resolution of any I’ve owned. I have it pointed east to get Pitt channels and it’s so powerful it’s picking up channels from Youngstown area, which usually I have to turn it towards the north to do. So strong I have no pixelation at all.
