antenna8541 TV Antenna, Black

I was very disappointed in this product. It was no better than the passive rabbit ears I had been using. Oddly, placement of the large square portion seemed to be almost ineffective, as the picture was more dramatically improved/degraded by moving around the lead wire from the antenna to the amplifier. The stations I was trying to receive are approximately 25 miles distant. I tried three different walls in the house, front and back, and several different windows. In all instances, the one thing that made the biggest difference was the positioning of either the long coax cable run from distant parts of the house, or the antenna's own lead wire when near the TV. Several stations known to be fairly close (antennaweb.org) never tuned in. Since I am old enough to have used rabbit ears exclusively decades ago, and remember the body contortions necessary to get the rabbit ears "just right", I have decided to return this one and seek a different solution.

Wish it would work better. Only able to pick up a few channels after moving it several times.

I was very surprised with the quality of reception right out of the box attached to our television located in the kitchen with so many stainless steel appliances and electrical stovetop within inches of the television. We like about 200 feet down a hill but have a good, mostly unobstructed path to the broadcast centers of our area (St Louis). Antennae worked right out of the box without the amplifier albeit if I move the antennae the picture pixelates briefly. We live about 30 miles (as the bird flies) from St Louis and we get good reception on all the locally broadcast channels. Again, this is without the amplifier connection which, at this point, we don’t need at this point.

So far doesn't work as well as one I purchased years ago. Will not bring in one of my major NBC stations and it is not fifty miles away. Going to try it at my mother's house which is closer.

Product works better without the signal amplifier. After letting the TV scan the channels with the amplifier, it could not even pick up the channels that I was able to pick up with a bent paper-clip. Almost going to write this off, then just connect the antenna directly and hang the antenna half way up the wall (7ft off the ground) facing the towers on Mount Wilson, now it picks up all the major stations and a million shopping and evangelical stations imaginable in Southern California.

I ordered 2 of these. The both are in the garbage. The only way I could get channels was to move the Antenna pad. The declare long range with this item. Not rrue. What a mess of wires and screws needed to hold the item on a wall or the TV Furniture. Mytv IS ON WHEELS AND i PUT HANGING SCREWS ON THE SIDE AND THE REAR OF THE CABINETT. i RECEIVED ON MAIN CHANNEL AND IT WAS ABC. tHE REST WERE LIKE jUNK sTATIONS.

Unfortunately l wasn't able to see any channels at all, even if l was next to the window, l try it on 2 different tv's

It's a good antenna. Great quality with good sticky pads for mounting. The only problem is out where I'm at, I only get 3 channels. XD
