The antenna was easy to instal and provides perfect reception. I am about 15 miles from the transmission towers and within direct line of sight of them. I have no way to know how well the antenna would work in more difficult reception conditions.

I had been using RS U-75R 15-2160 indoors until the digital transition when a few stations went back to VHF which this antenna was not designed for. As a stop gap measure, I took a pair of rabbit ears that came with one of those old TVs, rubber-band tied them to the boom of the U-75R and extended all the way at an angle around 90 degrees. Without even connecting the leads, amazingly, I got all available VHF channels. So the rig worked but was a little clunky and that was why I hoped that the ANT751 could be an elegant replacement. It did comparably well with closer stations but was outmatched on a further VHF-13 station (< 30 miles). Needless to say, I went back to my trusty old rig. Moral of the story: do not throw away those telescope rabbit ears, you never know when you may need them. Tip: if you need VHF out of your old UHF hardware, try my rabbit ear trick.

It works better than expected. I thought I would have to purchase an outside pole to put this antenna on, but I get great T.V. reception after installing in my attic. It also comes with the short mounting arm pictured, I wasn't expecting it to come with this. The T.v. stations are @ 30 miles from my location, I think it is a great antenna for the price. Well built and easy to install.

I recently became angry over the high, (and ever-increasing) cost of cable and Satellite TV service. Finally realizing that most of what I was interested in watching consisted of local channels - I decided to break my long-term relationship with the Satellite providers, and save $60+ per month by taking advantage of FREE, over-the-air television signals. After all - twenty to twenty-five minutes of every prim time hour are filled with commercials anyway. However, This presented a new problem for me. See - I live in Jacksonville NC (home of Camp Lejeune USMC base). I live within a couple miles of the base which means that any broadcast signals are subjected to the plethera of radio frequencies and satelite signals generated daily by the base's standard operations. Combine that with the fact that "local" TV channels are EXTREMLY limited in this area. At first - I ran out to a local retail super discount store and picked up a couple models which they were selling in their limited inventory.

The product met my expectations for design, construction and performance. The antenna rating is given on the box (one of the few I've seen) for yellow, green, light green and red zones per [...] ratings. It claims to be able to pull in signals as far as 40 miles away, which is probably right for a rooftop mount with the antenna pointed correctly. Mine is in the attic for stations up to about 30 miles away and it's working well in Raleigh NC. I like the fact that it comes with flexible mounting hardware as well.

We just moved to Santa Fe and wanted to get broadcast TV (I hate cable!) but most stations are near Albuquerque. According to [...], all of our stations are around 35-40 miles away. This antenna was very quick to install - it took my husband less than 15 minutes to install it on the roof, we then re-scanned our channels and picked up 26 digital channels. This includes all of the major broadcast channels including two PBS stations that are all crystal clear - a perfect picture. There are no trees or tall buildings around us, but there is a mountain range between us and Albuquerque so we were worried we wouldn't be able to pick up the channels. This was a great price, the antenna is not too large and obtrusive, and it works great for both UHF and VHF channels.

The antenna I ordered was shipped the next day and arrived a few days later in perfect condition. It was easy to mount and brings in over 30 digital TV channels.

I live in Poulsbo WA 98370. According to antenna web all digital channels were red to mostly violet. All I wanted was ABC,NBC,CBS and Fox. Got all but ABC plus more clear as day. Will miss ABC, but everyone in my area can't get it. Thought I would need a 9 foot antenna to get any channel. Easy to assemble and mount.

Before the change to digital signal i was using rabbit ears.I was receiving an ok signal,but always adjusting them.My signal was at 36% for only one tv.I installed this new antenna and now have a signal of 57% in the living room and 100% in the bed room.Do not have to adjust the the rabbit ears anymore and can feed up to three rooms with no problem and with out a power booster.Installation was not to hard but worth it.Now i receive twice as many channels.
