Five Star TV Antenna Indoor/Outdoor Yagi Satellite HD Antenna with up to 200 Mile Range - Attic or Roof Mount TV Antenna, Digital OTA Radio/FM Antenna for 4K 1080P with Mounting Pole

I’m about 50 miles from the broadcast towers in Sac, and after mounting it and aiming it properly, I’m getting all major channels clearly, including FOX. Picture quality is solid and the signal has been stable. I’m receiving over 80 OTA channels, including all major networks and a lot of sub-channels.

OTA = Over The Air... verses cable, satellite, streaming, etc. I was recently a tech with a very popular satellite TV company. We also installed OTA antennas and often had to struggle to get OTA channels to come in well when the location is 50+ miles away from big city TV broadcast towers. This antenna seems to be a very good one... putting it together might be a bit confusing for some, but so far it seems worth the trouble. Now this product does NOT have a built-in amplifier (but that's one of the reasons I like it). Sure, a built-in amp might draw in a few more channels (or make some a little more clear) but it also means it will need to plug-in to electric power somewhere. I am 45 miles away from several TV towers and this manufacturer recommends trying the antenna indoors before installing it outdoors (which is always smart). I picked up over 40 channels indoors and the picture was perfect on most of them. I haven't installed it outdoors yet and that's the only reason I gave it 3 stars for ease of installation... but I will update this post once I do have it installed. I expect over 100 channels but it's really not about HOW MANY channels you pick-up, it's HOW MANY CHANNELS YOU WANT that you pick up. I happen to know that living outside of Houston TX there are only about 20-30 local stations that I actually want... many of the others are foreign channels or shopping networks that I would never watch. Even the best OTA TV antenna can't help signals much if you are 200+ miles from no where. But so far I am pretty happy with this product. I bought the full-install package that came with the mounting pole, brackets, and 40 feet of cable. I was pleasantly surprised they even included things like "pitch-patch' which are little tar squares to be placed between the roof and the mounting plate screws before it is tightened down. There are even mounting clips (and a few zip ties) to help with running the cable from the antenna to the splitter (which is also included with the mounting kit). The only thing that could make this better is a having a few more specifics on antenna assembly, so you KNOW exactly which antenna sections connect to the others and which end faces which. Also, there were no instructions for the mount kit but other than a wide variety of screws the kit looks fairly simple. * UPDATE* Nearly 5 months later and I am still happy with this OTA Antenna. Nearly every channel is crystal clear high definition. I have had zero problems except for a few occasions, when storms seem to have affected the reception of one or two distant TV stations, but those are far and few between. I'm sure you can buy bigger, better, more expensive antennas... but I still recommend this antenna and am quite happy with it.

The antenna was pretty easy to assemble, but the instructions could have been a little better. I installed it on my roof. Pointed it in the direction of the the big city. I was able to pick 26 channels. The signals come in nice and clear. I would recommend this product.

The local channels with my old 80 mile antenna would sometimes go out. This new antenna gets all of them perfectly and a few more I didn't know existed. All the stuff that came with the antenna is good. It was easy to assemble and install. The whole job took less than an hour.

Easy to put together. Price was good. A high quality product. The antenna pulled in a great signal that gave me an excellent picture. I would highly recommend this antenna.

Antenna is a bit over priced. Not a 200 Mile Antenna. This Antenna works well on UHF channels however Lower band VHF 2 thru 13, don't perform well. Make sure there are no obstructions it will greatly reduce the performance. My towers are 33 miles away, so I had to use an amplifier to get better performance with the 4 way splitter. It has Good Quality construction. comes with a 4way splitter and coax cable, the hardware is included for the J-Pole model to attach to either wood or masonry that is a plus, if mounting to a wall or chimney. I was going to return the item and contacted tech support . it is 95 degrees outside here in Florida so I will keep looking for something better but the antenna works ok, not great, but ok.

Was fairly easy to install. Get most channels okay. I expected a little more, but it’s still a good deal.

Purchased this antenna for attic installation to replace a much larger full coverage (ch2 - 69) older antenna because I needed one with a smaller footprint to locate in a better position in the attic, and I did not need VHF low band anymore. The Five Star antenna is doing the job 37 miles from transmitters located in downtown Chicago, the only VHF station I watch is CBS located on RF channel 12 which works well. I am using an RCA mast-mount pre-amp with built in hi-cut filter. The build quality seems pretty good, but my installation is indoors, so I can't really comment on outdoor durability. As others have stated, the 200 mile range in the description is ridiculous, I assumed this prior to purchasing having previous experience with TV antenna installation etc. I would have appreciated detailed product dimensions including boom length (48"), I was fortunate to be able to guesstimate based on watching a few you tube reviews. The included mounting bracket did not have dimensions in the description either, it turned out that I did not use it to mount the antenna. The pole is 16" in entire length, the offset from base of the bracket to the pole when vertical is 5" and the outside diameter of the pole is 1". Build quality is very good. I hope this review helps you out, I would not feel comfortable being much further than 35-40 miles (attic installation) in relatively flat terrain, but it is a good purchase given my scenario.

EXCELENTA ANTENA FACIL DE INTALAR. EN VERDAD CAPTA SEÑAL CON EXCELENTA CALIDAD. HE COMPRADO VARIAS ANTENAS SIN QUE PUDIERAN AGARRAR SEÑAL, YA QUE VIVO ALGO LEJOS. PERO ESTA QUEDO EXCELENTA CON LA SEÑAL

It works great - much better than my previous antenna that was twice as big and cost twice as much. No amplifier needed! Easy to assemble. Now I wouldn't have bothered taking these pictures and I'm not complaining but your product could be perfect if these details are addressed. #1 pic - maybe don't ship the J pole in the same box - a couple elements were dented but were fixable. #2 pic - the wingnuts connecting VHF elements can't be used - maybe just ship with regular nuts

It was so simple and well explained to install. Working like a dream.

Buena calidad! Llego a tiempo. El empaque muy bien. Saludos,

Would have given an overall rating of 5 had the co axial cable been 40 feet as stated in the description and not 21 feet as received. Had to purchase more cable and make another trip up on the roof to complete the installation. The picture quality is very good, picked up 30 plus channels.
