1byone Outdoor TV Antenna 360° Omni-Directional Reception Long 100+ Miles Range Enhance VHF&UHF 4K Ready HDTV Antenna with Added Stability for Outdoor/Attic/RV Use - 39ft RG6 Coax Cable

Great, I just hooked up 2 TV’s. I live in the South Suburbs of CHICAGO 45 miles away and that is where TV Antennas are Broadcasting . I bought one of those indoor ones that looks like a wi-fi router and another one that looks like a speaker on the wall they are ok, I scanned auto program 2x the channels than my indoor ones. I was able to scan 133 channels with this new one and channels that used to Buffer like Channel 2CBS and 32 Fox, they haven’t buffered once . I been watching golf on CBS 2, for 20 minutes.

Best antenna on the market, easy installation, works great don't have to worry about aiming it,.

SO I live in Manhattan, NO-EA-HA (north east Harlem) is my neighborhood and I pay way, Way, WAY TOO much for cable and had been looking for a way to "cut the cord" with Time Warner" so to say and for some reason just didn't believe that this thing would work. Problem number one is all the tall buildings around (I live in a Brownstone) and don't have a direct line of sight to the World Trade Center also all my windows face east west, SO I have no south facing window...bummer, BUT I said I would try it anyway, I had already reduced my bill by getting rid of the modem and getting my own ($8.00 a month saved it'll pay for itself in 16 months, I could have gone with a cheaper modem but trying to get ready for what's coming next). So everything showed up the other day and after watching a YouTube video or two I was ready, it was a very easy set-up and after re-readying my TV manual (my HDTV is 9 years old I was a little worried it wouldn't work with it) I was ready to go, I hit the scan button and a message came up tell me it could take up to 50 minutes, so I fixed myself a drink and waited after about 5 minutes there was nothing and I said to myself "I guess I'll be sending this back" I then went into my office to do something and when I came back about 5 minutes later I had 55 channels, talk about Shocked the entire process took about 15 minutes with a total of 60 channels...SO here are a few problem I have, a few of the stations don't come in well, the signal is a little weak and the pictures freezes up and buffers... the one thing that was surprising was that I got ALMOST all of the local channels CBS, NBC, WOR, FOX, WPIX, PBS, just to name a few of the locals and the pictures are nice, Sharp, Crisp just like if I was watching cable I was SHOCKED!! BUT my BIGGEST PROBLEM OF ALL is NO ABC!! I watch ABC everyday, the main station I wanted and nothing...not a drop of a signal, my heart was broken I'm going to be STUCK with Time Warner until I can get ABC or figure something out. If you live in the city and you live high up or have a window facing the Trade Center and you're looking to cut cable cost this is the BEST $29.00 you can spend, I'm going to play around with moving the antenna (it has a 20 foot cable and I can always attach another cable to get more footage to run the antenna to the bedroom windows where I may be able to get a better signal) SO yes this works in the city and you will have to play around with where you place it to get the best reception and maybe even more channels (I got Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, Scandinavian and Russian Channels in that group of 60 stations) SO TAKE THE CHANCE, if this can help you cut your cable bill down to just internet service it's worth it! once I get the ABC thing figured out I'll be saving over $100.00 a month (I still need internet service, I'm not trying to live in the dark ages by living on free hot spots)

UPDATE 10/25/2016: I cannot get more than 70 channels anymore. Of the 70, maybe 5 are in English and aren't shopping channels. And I get only one major network. So this product doesn't work for me in the end. I tried moving the antenna 50 different times, which only resulted in using more doublesided tape and a lot of tape residue all over my window. UPDATE 10/18/2016: The antenna was inadvertently moved and now for the life of me I cannot get more than maybe 70 channels, most of which are NOT major network channels. At this point I'm rather disappointed and have spent a lot of time experimenting with placement and am getting about 1/2 of the total channels as before. I decided to finally cut the cable cord and bought this antenna as a similar type came highly recommended but this one was considerably less expensive. I live just 20 miles from downtown LA so I figured the 50 mile radius would be more than enough. Perhaps 20-30 miles would have been fine, or even rabbit ears. Either way, at last search I had 124 channels! Mind you, it's important to search and search again and again and again and move the antenna around, up and down, on its back, flat, on the wall, in a window, etc. For me the window facing north works best. I live in a courtyard style apartment complex on the first of two floors yet I guess that doesn't matter as it must penetrate structures/trees, etc. in some way that I don't understand. I do think there are many, many variables to consider, including weather (which I don't have) and perhaps wind in particular. It seems that even if you put the antenna in a fixed location, your channels and reception will vary from time to time. When that happens, I'd suggest searching and searching again and so on. Getting ABC to come in took several tries. It finally happened when I got up to 121 channels I think. Even then it's not real clear but I know if I fiddle with the antenna's location a tad it will come in fine. That of course means that once the antenna is moved even a bit, other channels might be lost or at less viewable. Yet you might get some channels that you previously did not. Oddly enough I have a local San Diego CBS channel which comes in great, even though I am roughly 100 miles north of San Diego (and my antenna faces north, not south). While 124 channels may sound fantastic, I would say at least 2/3 of them are in languages I don't speak. I've realized that there is so much better tv to be found with an antenna instead of with cable. Some examples in the past few days: "Barney Miller," "The Mary Tyler Moore," "The White Shadow" and "Charlie's Angels," not to mention terrific classic movies like "The Great Escape." Sure, I might be dating myself but this stuff is more watchable to me than any reality tv program of today. Since most of what I watch besides live sports is nothing in particular, preferring to channel-surf mindlessly, this works out A-OK for me. One issue is that with antenna tv, unless you have a tv guide and/or want to go online to check every channel's website for listings, you really don't know what is on and when. And the descriptions (when they appear) for shows are often very basic. Perhaps someone has a suggestion on how I can easily find out what each local channel is broadcasting. Ultimately I wish I had done this years ago. With streaming MLB & NBA subscriptions plus Sling TV when needed (for ESPN, TNT, TBS and other channels that show MLB & NBA playoff games live that are not usually shown streaming online even with subscription), I am going to save tons and am a happy camper. Note: MLB Extra Innings on cable (which my dad has, 100 miles away) now comes with a free subscription to its streaming online service (which is normally $110-$130 of late) so it's a boon for me as I use that for free. It's been close to a month and I am now getting 149 channels. Some are pixelated/unclear but that's a lot of channels!

Excellent VHF/UHF HD antenna with optional signal amplifier. Long 20 feet of coaxial cable should be enough to reach window. You can use on a stand indoors but placing it between the window and screen works well for me. I live about 6 miles from Manhattan. My window luckily face southwest toward the empire state building and freedom tower, which broadcast most HD stations. The problem in nyc is there are multiple fm radio stations that broadcast on frequencies that are adjacent to VHF frequencies. CBS2, NBC,4 Fox5 broadcast in UHF but ABC7, WOR9, WPIX11 and PBS13 broadcast in VHF. These FM signals interfere with reception of VHF stations so do yourself a favor and get a cheap FM trap/filter. that you connect between the antenna and amplifier. FYI In a city like NYC if you live with 15 miles of broadcast towers, you might not need the amplifier. Sometimes they also amplify the signal so much that the tuner cannot process the signal correctly and big city stations emit a very strong signal and there are many of them. Also to get a few extra channels without any pixelation you can piggy back another filter called a LTE/5G filter. These barrel shaped filters filter out the "noise" and interference from cell phone towers, cordless home phones and wifi routers that work on 2.4 and 5 ghz. A must for high population cites, especially nyc artment buildings. Amazon sells the LTE filters but not fm traps. A company that sells both of these high quality necessities is Channel Master. Channelmaster.com I bought an fm trap for $10 and a LTE filters for $15. You'll need a very short coaxial jumper and some female to female connectors or barrels also, just make sure they are the 3 ghz barrels not cheap 1 ghz. 3ghz you get net no signal loss. Also you should never split the signal, your better off getting a separate antenna for a 2nd tv. Even the best splitters you will lose-3.5 do each leg which equates to 50% signal loss. A better idea is an old good quality A/B switch if you live alone. Happy cord cutting!

My reason for only 3 stars you'll understand along the way. I purchased this antenna because I was extremely frustrated with the other one connected to the digital conversion box on an older TV. The TV is on a counter in my kitchen. The problem I couldn't figure out was the constant digital fade out & choppy sound. Figured it was the old tube TV or the antenna's amplifier was no good. So I bought a small flat screen to upgrade & take up less space. With this hookup I had so much cable on my counter I didn't really gain much room. Little did I know I didn't need the box with the new TV. Anyway, the interference was no different, I was at wits end. So, I ordered this 1byone antenna thinking the old one was shot. Connecting it to the TV was a snap. Here's where I found out I didn't need that converter box, the newer tvs are programmed to convert the signal when connected to an antenna. Yea! Box gone, cables gone, less congested space on the counter. I had 18 channels with the older antenna I lost 2 but gained a music channel - no big deal. Worked great for awhile then bam! Same problem - channel fade out, choppy sound. Great, I thought, wasted money again. So, I started moving the antenna wire around, helped a little not much. Then I discovered the real culprit is the amplifier. If you find a position that little connected box likes, fine, it works. Problem is it better be darn close to the TV cause they sure don't give you enough length on that connection to play with. Once you find a good spot with no interference, you need to secure it in that position or frustration is back. So, 1byone, please extend the connect wire on that amplifier or perhaps improve the sensitivity. My TV was close enough to a wall that I was able to Velcro it in the position it worked best. As for the antenna reception, not much different than the other one I had. In summary, I won't be dropping my satellite connection on my other tvs for antenna reception. This one is great for local channels & a few others if/when I loose satellite connection. Oh, by the way, I didn't receive a coax cable just a wire connection comparable to a phone charger that connects to the antenna & the amplifier.

Easy installation and works perfectly.

I have this in my current apartment that is approximately 50 mi from the TV broadcast towers in Milwaukee. It was previously set up on the window of the 4th floor apartment in IL that was 35 miles from the Chicago TV broadcast facilities. It initially worked OK but with some dropouts and tiling. I have added an improvised reflector utilizing an old music stand which improved reception. I have the same setup here at the new place which is just a 2nd floor apartment. I added a director element in front of it to make up for the lower height and further distance from the stations. It still breaks up from time to time with weather conditions, but given this and it sits in a closet, I really can't complain. I found that the included amplifier has a gain of 20db, so I was able to run this into a 3-way splitter connected to each room's TV cable drop as the cable company now does it all over Wi-Fi. The picture quality is at times noticeably better then the cable company's due to their compression artifacts.
