Outdoor 150 Miles Digital TV Antenna 360 Degree Rotation Amplified HDTV Antenna -Support 2 TVs-UHF/VHF/1080P/4K - Infrared Remote - 40 feet RG6 Cable and Mounting Pole Included

I purchased this antenna in the hopes of learning a little bit about how antenna's worked. I never thought it would be anything more than a weekend experiment. The unit arrived in a much smaller package than I had anticipated. Everything was packaged professionally and everything in the box was well labeled. The assembly of the antenna literally took no more than 3 minutes - and I had never see one before in my file. In fact it was so intuitive that I had it assembled before my adult aged son had finished reading the instructions. We then randomly aimed it in 4 directions 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees using an iPhone built-in compass and just laid the antenna on the floor of the living room and let the TV auto-program the channels. It initially found many more channels than I expected. I expected maybe 4-6 channels. There were about 25 channels in each direction. I didn't count them exactly but I was very surprised.I then proceeded to do some online research to determine the optimum direction to aim based on where the station transmitters were located relative to my physical location. There are many good websites that are available for that research. It took a few hours to gather all that data and make a plan of action. In my case, the best orientation is 350 degree aiming. I ended up mounting it on the ceiling (like a ceiling fan or hanging light) in an unused closet of my apartment. When I completed the installation and scanned for channels, I was amazed ... 117 channels - just in that one direction. I must admit that there were about 30 channels in foreign languages (Spanish and Vietnamese) that were valid channels but not usable by me. The channel farthest away from my physical location was calculated by GPS coordinates to be 126 miles. I live in San Diego and basically everything from LA, San Diego, and Riverside were all received. I then spent the next few hours mapping out all the channels and determining what angles were needed. In total (across all pointing angles), I was able to receive 144 channels with 88 of them in English. It got me thinking ... why the heck am I paying so much for cable? I suspect that if it were attic or roof mounted it might even perform better. In my case - good enough is good enough. I only watch a few hours a week anyway.There are only 2 really small minor things that I would improve. #1 - The rotor that rotates the antenna in the aiming direction ... it would be nice to just enter the angle to aim and have it point in that direction. #2 - The cable that goes from the Antenna to the power source is terminated within the power source (as opposed to being able to disconnect it). So, in my case it is much longer than needed - it causes a big loop of extra cable. I understand that if it went through a connector there would be some RF losses. On the other hand, having that cable 6 feet long instead of ~35 feet long would be a help, and that is on the amplified side anyway.All in all - a really fun experiment and well worth the expense. Good job by everyone involved - manufacturer, distributor, Amazon, and the shipping company. Everyone gets 5*'s on this one.

Living outside the Denver area closer to the foothills, TV reception can be frustrating on some channels. I bought this unit to replace an indoor model. The indoor unit was amplified and did an OK job for channels that were already strong but there was a lot of pixelated or picture break up on many of the channels and it was frustratingly intermittent.Now to the McDury outdoor model that has a 360 deg rotation via remote control.The first problem I encountered was the control box, that delayed installation until a replacement was sent by customer service. The pictures show before and after installation. Although at my age setting up and climbing ladders at that height should have been left to my younger neighbor who volunteered but conveniently disappeared when he saw how high the antenna was going to be installed. :-)using a level I mounted the bracket and pole with the 4 large wood screws provided, drilled a hole through the wall and ran the cable into the house right near a power source and TV. I had PLENTY of cable to make leftover. I used a tie wrap to keep it intact. This is a special cable that has POWER running through it to control the rotation motor so making it shorter is not an option nor recommended. Now ready to try it out I found the second issue with the control box, you must be able to aim the tiny remote right at it, and the super bright (too bright) led makes a good target to aim at.I intentionally mounted the antenna outside of a window 1: incase the control box failed again, and 2: so that I can see the rotation. When the rotation starts it moves quickly making it easy to pass the sweet spot for a particular channel but does not stop again until I let go of the button a press it again, which also changes the direction and past the sweet spot again. I am sure with practice and by watching the rotation it will get easier, or maybe there is still something not quite right with the controller.So picture quality? Much stronger signals across the available channels. BUT the intermittent picture and sound breakup is still popping up. If you record your shows as I do you may not notice the signal issue until playback. During live playback is where the remote rotation really makes a difference as you can make the adjustments in the antenna direction and enjoy an HD and FREE TV signal.I may need to get a signal filter to help reduce the interference, they are available on Amazon but some of them cost more than this very fair priced antennae system.DO SET UP AND TEST YOUR ANTENNA INSIDE FIRST as instructed, that is how I discovered the controller malfunction BEFORE installing on the house. The extra effort was rewarded with a quick response from tech support.

Good antenna. Needs to be mounted at or above roof line of house. Set initially using the desired stations using a compass or phone app. Compass locations can be found online. Rotary motor is AC and will switch directions if stopped, so be patient, you can tweak in the desired station with an initial compass setting and patience. I live 50 miles from stations and can receive 10-12 depending on atmospheric conditions. Easy to assemble and comes with plenty of coax cable to connect. Antenna is basically a directional amplified yagi, with approximately 20 db of gain.
