TV Antenna - RCA Outdoor Yagi Satellite HD Antenna with Over 70 Mile Range - Attic or Roof Mount TV Antenna, Long Range Digital OTA Antenna for Clear Reception, 4K 1080P Silver

Well, the best thing I can say about this is....It's a nice design.I tried getting reception by various setups. Inside , Outside, on the roof.With the pre-amp, without.I was so hopeful.Still not much. Just a few channels. But not as many as the current rooftop antenna that gets many more.And my "rabbit ears" indoor antenna.I called twice, left my name and phone number.As suggested by a large printed notice on the package flap that advises you to "STOP", and call them, etc.And never heard back.So, I sent the antenna back.

...thanks to Free Signal TV and the Marathon antenna, I'm free at last! Folks, like so many of you, I've been held hostage for many years by my cable company for local news, programming and especially live sports. I never thought an antenna would work for me because I live in Gainesville, Ga., about 50 to 60 miles north of the Atlanta broadcast towers. My house is situated down in a hole and I'm surrounded by thick tree lines (click on photo attached).Having grown sick of paying an expensive monthly bill for TV when I only watched 8 to 10 channels of the 150+ I HAD TO PAY FOR, Idecided, after long and careful research, to take a chance on the Marathon and boy, I wish I had done it long ago! Folks, I'm pulling in about35 stations, some better than others and most of them I won't watch anyway, so that didn't matter for me. I'm getting the BIG 4 (ABC, CBS, NBC & FOX), like gangbusters, with crystal clear, uncompressed HD clarity and great sound! There's my locals and there's my football (big Atlanta Falcons fan here!). I'm a happy camper! Well, happy with the antenna, not so much with the Falcons. :(Now, I never intended for the Marathon to be the "end all". I also invested in an Amazon Fire TV box (not the stick), to round out my TV viewing experience and to get ESPN. There are different streaming devices and streaming services available and I'll let you do your own research about all that. (I went with the Sling TV orange package, $20.00 per month, 25 channels including ESPN, easy to cancel if you want and works good.)It gave me great pleasure to return the digital cable boxes to my cable provider yesterday and opt out of their TV service. I kept their high-speed internet because I'm streaming now on my Fire TV and need it for my computer, but I'll still be saving over $100.00 a month and not having to PAY for dozens and dozens of channels crammed down my throat that I don't want and have no use for.I feel liberated and installing the Marathon antenna was the first step in setting me free. Highly recommended and I would certainly buy it again in a heartbeat, especially considering the great customer support at Free Signal TV.EDIT: 2 YEARS LATER: This antenna continues to perform with no issues. Some folks complain about price, but my Marathon has paid for itself many times over vs what I was paying for cable TV. If you're serious about cord-cutting, can follow instructions and are a little bit handy, you can't go wrong with this antenna.

Truly impressed. This delivered as advertised. I live in a suburb of Raleigh, NC about 20 miles from the main broadcast tower. I live in a townhome I needed something I could install in the attic.I originally bought the Channel Master CM-4228HD which claims an 80 mile range, but the results were mediocre. So stations came in fine, but some would often drop, especially in bad weather. So after about a month I decided to try the Marathon antenna.The Marathon antenna worked awesome! Was super easy to install.. way easier than trying in install one of those big metal array type. Took me about 10 minutes to get installed. I easily got a 20-30% boost on my strength meter for each channel. All of them maxed out and came in crystal clear with no drops. Even the local PBS which is not on the same broadcast antenna as the others and is typically hard to get because of being in a different direction.

I live in southern NJ where I'm approx 60 miles away from the towers in Philadelphia. According to several sites, the towers are at a higher elevation and there are no mountains between my place of residence and Philly. Based on the numerous reviews, I gave this a shot thinking I could pull reception from Philly to get the major networks.Let's start with the fact that the 2nd story of my house is well above 30 ft from street level. So yes, the Antenna was up high. I could not get any signal when pointing in the right direction. I used the iPhone compass app to know I was pointing in the right direction. I tried a few other towers closer and I could get reception but the quality was very poor. I don't think this was a result of the antenna but just a poor transmission. However, these other towers broadcast mainly latino channels which are of no use to me.I then called the support line on Wednesday and left a message. It is now Saturday and I still have not heard back. So I luckily was able to return the product and it's already at the local UPS store awaiting shipment. I can't wait to get my money back. As for the time spent, oh well, it's a lesson learned I guess.

I just received this, and only bought it after I was assured I could return it if it couldn't pick up any signals decently. As we are located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains (about 90 miles from Washington DC to the north, and 30 miles from Charlottesville VA to the south), I did not have a lot of confidence. But, figured I would try it and see. I climbed on the roof, and used electrical ties to lash it (temporarily, to see if it worked) to my exiting Direct TV dish mount. Unhooked the DTV cable,and attached it to the Marathon antennae. Came back into the house, configured the TV (it took changing a couple of settings on our Samsung Smart TV) and I was shocked to see over 30 channels were being received, all crystal clear. Although the antennae was facing north towards DC, I still received Charlottesville and even Harrisonburg stations to the south perfectly.I had read some negative reviews, and now realize they were just BS, or the people couldn't figure out how to configure their TV to this antennae.We do not have a line of sight to either localities, and never could receive decent TV signal in the past. Saying goodbye to Direct TV tomorrow, just going to stream Amazon, Hulu and Netflix ,and watch some network now and then. This works much better than expected.
