This is a very well priced antenna for those wishing to pick up high VHF and UHF signals from a moderate distance from source. It is compact, lightweight and unfolds right out of the box.
I was disappointed to find that neither the mast (clearly pictured) nor the 50′ of coax (eluded to in description) were included.
You will only receive an antenna with the mounting hardware for the antenna only. After a pricey trip to Radio Shack and a bit of blood, sweat and tears I eventually received my first HD channels. I do plan on purchasing the Eagle Aspen UHF 2-bay and add it to my 5 ft mast – to pick up stations in another nearby city at a different bearing.
You wont be disappointed with the antenna if you don’t mind generic instructions and the lack of mounting hardware. The weather-proof coax boot is awkward as well as the bracket to secure the joint to the antenna (I tossed it out and used cable ties).
Overall it is a good value and can fit a multitude of installation scenarios.
Amazon was great with their customer service regarding the product picture and description errors.

this works very well to pick up the didgital signal, mounted on the roof and the TV is in the basement.
make sure to buy the black mast also it does not come with it like the picture shows.

This picks ups stations about 15 miles away mounted on a pole about 5 feet above my roof. I am also using a CM3016 for picking up a broadcast from another compass heading. Overall decent antenna and would buy again. One note, make sure you use good cables with good connectors since I found the cheaper connectors allowed interference.

I live Los Alamitos, CA and its 29.7 miles away from where the signal transmission comes from and my signal here is excellent. The bar is at about 90%. I get all the locals plus all of their sub stations. I also get a bunch of other channels, Spanish for my mom and bunch of other that I dont watch. Real easy setup and it seems very durable. I just removed the old Direct tv dish that was on the roof and attached this right to the pole, it came with all the right hardware to do so. I did have to run new cable because they seem to have a filter on theirs that I could not find. Its a two story apt and the cable is about 40 feet long with a regular splitter inside the house to y the signal to my moms room. I’m also using a insignia hdtv converter box. Overall I’m very satisfied and I get a lot of compliments on the reception but I did not buy it here. Hope this helps and good luck.

Granted the directions are bad, but it is so simple to set up that directions aren’t needed. I bought it under the assumption that the range is 35 miles. I have it in the attic of our two story house, pointed at a station 60 miles away and it comes in flawlessly. All or local stations are 90 degrees off this station and they come in resonably well for being that far off. I tried it with am amplifier, but the amp is not needed so I removed it. Here are two good sites to help you find what stations you might recieve.
