1byone 60 Miles Range Omni-Directional Amplified Outdoor Antenna for FM/VHF/UHF with SMD Circuit Technology, Anti-UV Coating, Waterproof and Super Compact

Two things I discovered about digital TV signals.First, I live in an older neighborhood surrounded by tall mature trees in every direction. Beautiful scenery but a nightmare for receiving over-the-air signals. Digital signals are quite susceptible to degradation from many sources. Despite being 5 or 6 miles from the TV towers, reception is not as good as one would expect because of the second thing I discovered.The second thing I found in my experience is that today's sets have mediocre tuners to receive digital signals. They require a good deal of assistance to receive channels well. So, finding a good outdoor antenna is a necessity in my circumstances, especially if you don't subscribe to a cable or satellite service.This antenna has been the one that has made over-the-air HDTV reception more reliable. The antenna does have to be tweaked a bit to find the best overall configuration angle and direction, but it's a simple process. Yes, there is still the loss of signal and picture breakup on occasion, but reception as been overall quite good and far superior to the other outdoor antenna I was previously using.The in-line AC signal amp provided no additional benefit and did degrade reception. This is most likely due to proximity to the towers causing signal overload. But the amp is optional and not needed in my situation.In summary, very pleased with this antenna's performance and well worth the money and a 5-star rating.

This product worked great for about two weeks, pulling in ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, and about 15 other channels crystal clear. Then the signal quality deteriorated massively. We get none of the major network channels any more, just a couple of PBS stations and a few smaller stations. Not sure what happened. I've checked the cables, checked for signs of damage on the unit itself, and there's no indication that anything should be wrong. I would love to solve this problem with this or another antenna. We are 37 miles from the broadcast towers; I was really hoping this product would do the trick.

After waiting for this back-ordered antenna, the one I got was an obvious return - scuffed, scratched and dirty stuffed back in the box. Saying that these have a range of 60 miles is a huge stretch, and is definitely NOT omni-directional. This one was replacing an inexpensive flat panel unit that I had hanging in the front window. I purchased this unit because it is one of the few exterior units that can be side-wall mounted and comes with a decent mounting bracket. I am only 12 miles from the local TV "antenna farm" and the terrain is extremely flat. There are no buildings or trees to interfere with the sight lines and yet the antenna took a fair amount of adjusting the mounting angle/direction to get most (but not all) of the stations that the inexpensive flat panel has been pulling in fine for the past year or so. These units are also sensitive to wind, rain and snow (it is snowing right now, and the weaker stations are cutting in and out). Not happy with this purchase, but it will do until I can find a better unit to replace it. The main positive is getting that flat panel out of the window.Followup: Manufacturer stands behind their products. Since they could not get the original model replaced, they substituted one of their other models that works much better and pulls in all the local stations with the exception of two "fringe" HD stations (must be the design of their antennas, because the Winegard indoor flat panel pulled in both of them - not a big issue since they appear to be duplicate HD versions of other stations that I am now getting). Saving $130 per month by cancelling Comcast Cable never gets old. I will be interested to see how this new design handles bad weather (has already gone thru a thunderstorm with no issues). I am using this without the amplifier and did not have to fool around aiming this like the flat design. Thanks 1byone for working with me on this. This is the replacement model, not quite as discrete but luckily uses the same mounting bracket so I did not have to drill any new holes in my siding mounted about 12' above the ground and under the roof overhang. https://www.amazon.com/1byone-Amplified-Omni-directional-Detachable-Waterproof/dp/B01N06CBFO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492789618&sr=8-1&keywords=1byone%2Bomni&th=1

Prior to buying this product, I had an inexpensive antenna designed to attach to the back of a tv in the exact same attic location. We decided to upgrade to a true 60 mile outdoors antenna to see if we could get the extra few channels in the 30-40 mile range from our house in the Baltimore -Washington DC market. Since this was advertised as a 60 mile antenna we expected easy reception. This antenna, no matter how many times we went back into the attic to reposition it, we could never get the 40+ channels we were getting from the cheap indoor antenna it replaced. This product is slick packaging and slick marketing, thinking I had bought junk, I took it apart to verify, it was simply an indoor antenna wrapped in a plastic case. If you are imagining extra grids, antennas, circuitry or something else, you will be disappointed. You are paying for the plastic case and a $5 amplifier that many of the indoor ones have, which perform much better. This went in the trash and I have since bought a true attic antenna that surpasses my expectation. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

this antenna was just ok for me, I didn't get Chanel 9 or 7. I do live in Corona, CA, which is about 40 miles form the towers. It worked well if I connected directly to just one TV, but once I connected it to a splitter, that feed into 3 TV's it degraded a lot. Quality was not that great, even when I put it outside. I ended buying the ClearStream 2V Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna, that one worked great. I get all the channels, and quality is great. Maybe if you live closer to the TV stations it would work better. I'm not sure if the amplifier really did anything on this antenna. Clearstream, does not have an amplifier, and it was better.
