Long Range UHF- HDTV 91 Element Yagi Antenna

I'm in a unique location and am able to pickup up Philadelphia stations from the Pocono mountain 75 miles away. This antenna, combined with a pre-amp has performed amazingly well. I combine it with a Nextgen ATSC 3.0 tuner in order to pickup ch6 which still broadcast on the vhf band.

I have tried two outdoor antennas before I bought this one. I tried an 8 bay antenna by DigiWave and the best UHF outdoor antenna by XremeRange sold by Top Notch antenna. This antenna outperformed either of those and was more economical to purchase. It pulled in local channel WTAE clearly while the previous two antennas did not pull it in. It is bigger than either of those and size does matter. The build quality is not as good as the previous two but if I need to replace it every few years it is worth it. This same antenna is really sold under three different names but Amazon has the best price with some selling at almost twice the price of this one. I live in a rural area with trees all around me and this antenna has enabled me to pull in 33 stations. Now this does not receive VHF signals but there are very few of those stations left on the air. One tip try to keep your cable run at 50 feet or less.

I'm assembling this antenna and Wife asks where I'm going to put it. I said I was thinking of hanging it from the living-room ceiling. I get The Look. I'm kidding, Right? ?? Marginally. The antenna has been up two weeks and does well for where it is. I wanted to get a handle on it before putting it out of reach. I get one VHF-Hi channel and 50+ UHF channels.. I really haven't needed to reaim this antenna that often, the towers to the western 1/3 of the compass @ 30 miles come in reliably when the antenna is over that way so it's off axis reception seems good. 30 miles to the east is fringe but can usually be had with aiming. It's a low antenna position and terrain issue I believe. Thing to know is: The antenna knows you're there especially if you're touching it.. I use a fiberglass snow plow marker rod for aiming . Rotor's in route. I suspect this antenna will work well on the post.

I installed for an elderly friend that couldn't get internet inexpensively. Area was west of Banquete Tx, close to Rancho Banquete. The tower of the channel that I could not get was Low power and almost directly 35 miles due East in Corpus Christi, Texas. The majority of the other Major Networks were southeast about 15 to 19 miles. According to tvFool All of the signal is sent southeast from the tower in north corpus Christi that has DABL, so away from Banquete and at least 1 station should have been hi-VHF. This antenna picked up everything. I had an RCA with the 1 bowtie looking reflector and it worked good getting 41 channels including 2 duplicates. This Antenna pretty much the same price got 59 channels with the same duplicates. This was installed on a 5' pipe(to clear the rear reflector) stuck in a directv pipe on the bottom edge of the roof slope that's about 10' high so I'm guessing 15 to 17 feet. The land out there is flat and very, very windy. It's spring and winds of 20 to 30 are normal ALL DAY AND NIGHT from March to June, we'll see how it holds up. I have to say on the lower powered channels it is very sensitive to direction. On the channel DABL 29.3, if you were off by 15 degrees it would pixelate 20 it would freeze otherwise it was solid and stable. Everything was done barefoot with no amplifier. Seems well built for the price and looks like it would last a while. At this Price (NOT PRICE POINT) it's worth it to buy yearly IF needed. THIS antenna will outperform what you have now if all your towers are in one general direction. I highly recommend for rural areas.

I had no trouble assembling the antenna just had to straighten a few of the elements that were slightly bent. I live about 90 miles south west of the Houston transmission towers and get a watchable picture just before dark and with just a few dropouts during the night until generally around 8 to 9 am in the morning. after that time the picture drops in and out. Now the signal i am getting is from the high powered stations on uhf, distance is too far for the low powered stations. The picture is not as good with bad weather but on good days it is fine. I tried several other long range antennas and none of them got a watchable picture. My antenna is up at 30 feet with a clear view towards the Houston area and i am in the coastal plains so really flat ground and no tall obstructions in the way.

I live on the south shore of Long Island approx 40 miles east of New York City, and I just installed this antenna along with a Stellar Labs VHF antenna (Part # 30-2476 - which is necessary for channels 7, 11, and 13 in my area) & Stellar Labs Signal Combiner (Part # 33-2230), and overall I couldn't be happier! I installed them in my garage rafters, with this UHF positioned higher in the peak (which thankfully in my case runs east to west), and the VHF antenna resting on rafters approx 4 feet lower and 4 feet to the north. No amplifiers of any kind, but I did run all new Mediabridge Coaxial Cables from the antennas to the "signal joiner" and then to a single "two way" splitter feeding 2 Samsung LED TVs. Overall I'm amazed at how many channels are out there FREE OF CHARGE, including "sub channels" of the major networks I didn't even know existed . Not every one of them HD, as some of the sub channels are broadcasting older shows long before HD existed, but the vast majority are all HD and the picture quality is excellent. It's evidently a cleaner signal than I was getting from cable because cable companies evidently compress their signals to increase capacity while these are pure from the transmitting towers. I even pick up Channel 55 which is NorthEast of me, and that was a complete surprise because these are both "highly directional" antennas. One final comment - I'm only using Samsung TVs so I can't speak for all brands, but these TVs make it very easy to "edit" channels (remove those with marginal quality or language you don't understand) - and better yet - the Remote Controls have a "Guide" button which displays a complete TV Guide for all stations over the next 12 hours or so at the simple push of a button. Amazing! (at least to me). Guess I've been living a sheltered life, but that was a completely unexpected and wonderful surprise. All in all - Home Run!

The antenna was not packaged properly, it was totally smashed when received. I tried to get a replacement, but for some reason Amazon didn't offer one, only a refund. It was only a mater of 4 days, but the same antenna was no longer available from Amazon by the same seller. Another seller was offered, but for a $25.00 price increase. No Thanks! I ended up ordering it from Walmart for the same original price, and this time is was packaged properly. The one star is for Amazon's experience. Now as far as the antenna is concerned, it gets 5 stars! After installing it and aligning it with my stations locations, it worked great. I installed it in my attic where I had a previous VHF antenna, but replaced it with this UHF antenna. If you are having any antenna reception problems go to the web site called "antennaman" This guy knows a lot about antennas, and I learned a lot.

Great value for the money. I installed this antenna in my attic and am about 15 miles from the towers and surrounded by trees here in Alaska where I live. Pulling in full bars on all but one channel. Antenna is really easy to assemble. although a great antenna I would be hesitant about mounting it outside if you are in an extreme climate but it’s perfect for an attic. Thumbs up from AK.
