    Has great reception.

    Has great reception.
    I tried 3 different brands of flat indoor antennas to hang in my windows. Two brands that I sent back were recommended by the Cord cutter on You Tube. They were more expensive so I thought they would be better. No so, they had poor reception compared to the Winegard FL 5500A model. I now have three of the Winegard antennas: one in my guest room, one in the living room and one in the master bedroom. I receive ABC (both from Charlotte, NC and ABC from Greensboro, NC) I live between those cities. I also receive CBS, FOX, PBS and the CW with 20 other stations. In the last 4 years I have saved thousands of dollars. Spectrum had gone up to $75 A month when I Cut the Cord. It was easy to set up I am a 75 year old lady who is electronically challenged. Happy Cord Cutting!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amplification was the key in our area
    Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2016
    This is my 2nd purchase. I purchased the first antenna in the fall of 2014 for $40 mainly to see the state of “Over the Air” broadcasting. At the time of the purchase we had an analog cable TV subscription that cost more each year and had fewer channels.

    I placed the antenna over a chair in a room of the house that just happened to be located the furthest away from the major broadcast towers. I was pleasantly surprised to be able to pick up about 30 channels. Depending on how I jiggled the antenna I could add a few channels and lose a few. After 2 months of testing, I decided to move the antenna into another room of the house.

    Our house has a coaxial connection in every room of the house. All the coax connections home-run from a closet in the room that is closest to all the broadcast towers. This is the room of the house that I moved the antenna to and placed it in a window that just happened to be dual-pane and low-E. I was pleasantly surprised to pick up about 40 channels. For grins I tried it without the preamp and was down to 1 channel. I later confirmed this with other brands that were not amplified, and at best was able to get 1-3 channels but not without issues. The amplifier was definitely required in our location. I tried the antenna flat against the wall and even flat against the window, but it seemed to pick up more channels when I wedged it in-between the two shades on the window (see photo). I've seen "curved" antenna's and now I had a "curve" antenna and signal reception was even better than flush on the window or wall. Because it was wedged in between the two shades, it was easy to take down for cleaning.

    I connected it to the main distribution network in the house which has a 1:8 HDTV drop amp with 4.5dB of amplification. In each room of the house that has a cable jack I ended up running the signal through a 2nd 1:4 HDTV drop amp with 7.5dB of amplification and was able to get from 40-50 channels depending on the TV or DTV converter box that we were using, so even though the antenna was in a fixed location there was enough of a difference between coaxial runs and different hardware to account for up to 10 channels.

    For grins, I opened the window and moved the antenna outdoors and was able to get 55 local channels and all the other tuners in the house varied by 3-5 channels, but obviously this was not an outdoor antenna - just wanted to know how much the “house” was actually causing us to lose in signal strength and channel availability.

    I ran this setup for another 3 months after I had cut the proverbial cable and would eventually decided to purchase a bigger outdoor antenna which in reality was not that much bigger but I also purchased the outdoor version of the same Winegard amplifier used on the FL5500A product. The outdoor antenna with mast mounted preamp got us 96 total channels while mounted on the side of the house at a height between 9 and 10 feet. Of those channels we paired those down to 42 that we like and can receive the same channels on all the hardware in the house. The bigger antenna lets us pull signals as far away as 120 miles even though it’s only rated for 60+ miles.

    So this antenna with its amplifier worked very well for us. We gave one to our daughter and picked up a 2nd unit. It’s our backup antenna in case something should happen to the outdoor antenna.

    The number of channels that you can pick up will vary by geographic location, home orientation, building materials used within a home, and location within a room. If you live very close to broadcast towers, the amplifier may actually hurt as it would overdrive signals - you’ll have to play with it to find what works best for your installation. For us, the amplifier was absolutely essential for both this indoor and our current outdoor antenna. Both use the Winegard amplifier.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Great product; why is physical attachment such a big deal?
    Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2023
    Technically, this antenna is fine. That is why it is so puzzling why a simple issue of physical attachment should be such a challenge for this company.

    I bought two of these: one for me and one for my mom. Both antennas require repositioning in order to find the best reception. In both cases, we were unable to get the antenna to stay in its final position Here is a picture of my antenna. You are only provided two tiny little double sided attachers. If you have to reposition three or four times, the adhesive will give out. We tried duct tape but no joy.

    So why don't they just give you a couple extra adhesive tabs? Who has time to research this? Such frustration for such a little issue. Just charge $1.00 more and make our lives easier!!
