KING SL1000 SureLock TV Antenna Signal Meter

I knew before I ordered that this signal finder was non-specific as to channel: you just aim the antenna and the LEDs light up to show the strength of whatever TV signals are received. However, in practice, I found this just didn't help me find the best antenna placement. I ended up going back to my old process of putting my TV's signal meter on and running up and down the steps from to actually look at the signal strength as shown on the TV each time I made a change. For whatever reason, the strongest signal as shown on this meter did not correspond to the strongest signal on the TV once the main antenna cable was attached. All three of the major networks come from the same antenna farm in my area, with only PBS coming from a different direction, so the problem was not that this meter was picking up different channels than those I used on the TV's signal meter.

well constructed. difficult to understand the instructions when using a booster inline with the antenna. I purchased a King Jack digital HDTV over the air antenna at the same time. tried using it but was not sure where to plug this unit in ? before or after the booster. Anyway, not sure if I fused the unit because I could not get the blue lights any more. So I just adjusted the antenna by hand.I have not sent it back because I have discarded the packaging etc???So it is a loss for me?

This item works awesome for a travel trailer(RV). I am guessing that many of the people leaving negative reviews for this product, are not very tech savy and do not read directions very well. With my TT parked in my driveway I went from getting 8 channels without this to getting 29 channels with this little gadgets help. I am over 65 miles as the crow flies from ANY broadcast towers, and I was also pulling channels from over 125 miles away! I pointed the antenna halfway in between the best two readings, and that is where I found my 29 channels, so it takes some common sense to get prime coverage but without this device many will just be guessing on how good your reception could be. It sure is nice on those rainy camping days to have a good selection of channels to watch. A person has to have some idea of what direction to point the antenna, and with many online maps as well as smartphone apps anyone should be able to get in the right direction. I would spend twice as much for this item knowing how well it has helped me!! Great product for an even greater price, don't wait-get it!!! This is not a signal booster, but rather a tool to help you get the best reception by following the supplied instructions and turn the unit off when not searching for which way to turn your antenna!

At home, with a compact Digiwave OTA antenna, I get only 1 green light, despite receiving over a dozen channels. Tried it in the RV (while still at home) and it shows up to 3 lights and works like a charm to point to the strongest signal. I'll try it out soon while camping in Vermont. If I'm impressed, I'll add a star. If it lets me down, I'll remove a star.....stay tuned.... Get it!!! Stay tuned!! Oh, I slay me!

I originally used GPS and compass to align the antenna for my Firetv Recast setup. Had frequent poor reception warnings add buffering issues. Re-aimed with this and found I was about 10 degrees off from best reception.
