So i bought this for my mom sicne she doenst like using youtubes to watch her favorite news channel or programs.After assembling it and connecting it to her tv via the coaxial cable connection, it automatically detect over 100+ channels. Due to her situation, i cant install the antenna outdoor, so i thought the connection and/or channels would be crap or lack if channels but i was wrong. Evne with antenna indoor, it was able to pici up over 100+ channels in 480p/720p resolution. To my mom that is good enough. She has been using it for over 2 weeks now and I checked back with her each week and she said so far she’s not seeing any problems with the receptions.Fyi, dont give bad reviews because you get bad reception. That isnt the fault of the antenna, it depends on YOUR location. When using antenna like these, its a hit or miss situation.For one thing, these type of antennas are 1000% better than those off-the-mill tiny antenna box or those ridiculous flat indoor plastic antennas that claim to give good reception and channels, those are questionables as I have used 2-3 of those, and they produce very bad results in reception and/or channels output. Hence i decided to go with this outdoor antenna style, and it is working out perfectly, even when used the antenna indoor.

I was skeptical that an antenna this small would be worth it, but it was. I bought the yagi antenna for camping because the antenna on top of the camper could only ever pull in one or two TV stations. I mounted this to a speaker tripod and raised it to about 7 or 8 feet off the ground. Although it didn't pull in as many stations as I had hoped, it pulled in many more than the camper antenna and we were about 60 miles out from the signal towers and camping in a low spot by a lake.

The GE Outdoor HD Digital TV Antenna Long Range OTA HDTV Antenna Yagi Style Design does the job for me, I was a skeptic and before I ran coax wires I wanted to make sure this device worked. I tossed it up in the attic, crudely aimed it west, ran some loose coax to a spare tv in my garage and ran a channel scan. It picked up 42 channels so I was sold. Next I ordered a SiliconDust HDHomeRun Flex Duo 2 to go with my Plex server on unRAID allowing me to watch and DVR programs using Plex (with a plexpass) and everything worked right out of the gate, no amplifier needed (your results may vary). Next, I ran coax to tie into old CATV coax for the easist install job. I recently ditched the evil empire Xfinity for a local fiber internet company but I've wanted local channels and I'm not paying for YTTV or cable anymore. It's ALL a ripoff. I can beam OTA channels to any device I have, iPhone, iPad, Android, PC, MAC, whatever, anytime, anywhere there's 5G signal. As you can see from the crappy pictures I installed the J Tube upside down, that's just how it had to be, otherwise the antenna would be in a a high traffic area in the attic and I couldn't have that. Sometimes you have to improvise, adapt, overcome. I still have small adjustments up or down and over the coming months I'm sure I'll have to fine tune my setup. That's how it is now a days. Initially I aimed the antenna to the west and I picked up some channels but not the numbers I had before. I nudged it slightly northwest and I have almost every channel that's offered in my area aiming northwesterly. One channel I still cant pick up in the scan is PBS but I'm sure I'll figure it out. Product seems durable for attic install, outside in harsh windy weather with birds and squirrels not so much.

We have four transmission towers spread across two degrees of bearing at 35 miles. We got tired of paying for cable, but my wife prohibited external roof aerials. Concrete tile roof with maximum of five vertical feet in the attic. And it's Florida, with all the thunderstorms throughout the year. We needed a simple, proven design that was easy to dial in. We got everything we wanted, better than expected.Assembly instructions aren't the greatest, leaving me feeling a bit like the "1960's dad" fitting the pieces together, but in truth it's a very easy assembly. This is good, because I needed to fit the last few pieces together in the attic, awkardly contorting around roof trusses as I did so. Cursed a lot, but it worked out fine.We used a high quality three-way coax signal splitter (helpfully abandoned in place by the cable company) with an advertised 5.5dB signal loss per channel. At each TV, I preemptively added an inexpensive Winegard 100 LNA (5v USB power), also purchased on Amazon.Minimum success required receiving the major air channels with no discernable reduction in quality, including during storms. Actual achieved results were far better than that. We're not seeing any pixelation effects, which my wife commented was much better than the signal we had on the same channels beforehand using cable. This statement includes the dozens of lower-powered channels that share the same transmission towers. We're very pleased with the performance.One more note - I used a King SL1000 Surelock Digital TV Signal Finder to dial in the antenna bearing. It takes a light hand and a good bit of tedious practice to get useful results. So be patient and expect a lot of trial and error. Also keep in mind that magnetic flux gate bearings (like on your basic phone compass) are not going to be the same as true bearings, so be conscious of your measurement source compared to your target bearing. Unless you're an experienced sailor or airman, which I am neither, you almost need to write this caution on the back of your hand before you start dialing in the direction from up in the attic. Be patient and keep with it til you get what you want.
