Cannot recommend

Works as represented in terms of getting alot of channels and good clear tv reception. And shipping was right on time. The problem was you have to drill a big 1" hole through your wall to connect the antenna system. You cannot attach the coax the antenna comes with to your cable network already in place. I went back and read the description but no where was it mentioned that you could not connect the factory coax to your existing cable network. To me, it was deceptive to not specifically state a material and important limitation such as mounting the antenna somewhere as long as it's less than 40 feet from the tv. Given a 24 foot antenna pole you have less than 16 feet to run to your tv.. The reason is that the antenna rotator and signal amplifier are both powered through the factory antenna cable. So you can't use the antenna or the antenna rotator unless you connect the factory cable directly to your tv. That means drilling a big hole through your wall to connect to the tv. Also, the second so-callled antenna cable coming out of the rotator control box is only maybe 6 feet long. So yes, you can have another tv on that antenna but it would have to be closer than 6 feet from the tv already connected. If I had known this up-front I would never have bought the antenna. So, if you don't mind drilling a big hole through your wall and are well withing 40 feet of the antenna then no problem. But if you expect to just connect the factory cable to your existing cable system then you have a pretty big problem. For these reasons I would not buy another antenna such as this one. I give iit 2 stars because it did work good and delivered on-time. But the installation was totally unexpected.Read full review

Spend more and get a better antenna

It would be easy to use if the manufacturer would have taken some more time and effort to build into the unit a system where it would at least tell you were facing north, south or where ever better yet have degrees displayed somewhere. The meter on my tv does not stay up for the full 28 seconds it takes to do a full revolution . From where I am to Montreal is flat an I still can not get all the stations that I used to get with a big antenna. (Montreal is about 60 miles as the crow flies)

i was surprised by how easy it was to install. I live out in the country in Indiana and was surprised i was able to pick up 48 channels! Was a great value. works great! Love how it has the option to hook up to 2 tvs!

Blocky images and only 30 miles from transmitters.

So far still getting pixelated blocky images. Unwatchable as is. From inside the house I got no channels. Outside on a pole I got 27 channels about 30 miles north of Boston. But none of them are stable. I'm going to try the roof as soon as I find a way to mount it. I'll update after that.
