- DO NOT use a switch or splitter between the Antenna and the control box. Splitter can be used after control box only!
- Please connect the given cable to the control box (Power Supply) directly, if the cable is not long enough, you can use an F-F coupler (Splice Adapter) to extend your cable.
Antennas are built-in preamplifier* for outdoor usage.
(per Wikipedia). Locate the amplifier as close to the antenna as possible, so amplifying antenna signal and not amplifying line noise or interference on the cable run.*

If you know (planned) antenna's height, you can specify that here in feet above ground level
Recommend PBD passive antenna, if very close to the broadcast towers, if your house is already wired,
- If you live near broadcast towers, it’s possible to overamplify or boost the signal too much and worsen reception, we recommend passive antenna.
- if your house is already wired,
- Put B07PHMSTFF into Amazon search box for PBD passive antenna.
Recommended to be mounted 30 feet above the ground
NOTE: Cable channels are not available using the antenna, like ESPN.
- Many antennas on the market are optimized to receive only UHF broadcasts and do not reliably receive VHF. All PBD TV antennas are precision-tuned to receive both UHF and VHF frequencies and will provide you with the most HD content.
- Generally, the higher the antenna is above the ground, the better it performs. The amount and quality of the channels you receive will depend on the following:
- Channels being broadcast in your area
- Broadcast tower locations
- Strength of the broadcast signals
- Line of sight and environmental terrain
Note: TV signal reception is immensely affected by the conditions such as antenna height, terrain, distance from broadcasting transmission antenna and output power of transmitter. Channels you can watch may vary depending on these conditions.

3.Antenna signal strength can vary depending on distance from the tower, terrain, and weather. Reposition the antenna in a different location if needed. It is best for the antenna to be in line of sight with the TV tower(s) and avoid obstructions. Always re-scan for channels after moving the antenna.
4. If your TV has no built-in tuner, you can add an ATSC digital converter box to receive the HD signal.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I'm about 100 miles south of San Francisco near Salinas, and there are two nearby transmitters. One is about 25 miles away (as the crow flys) and the other is 18 miles away, but those two transmitters are 90 degrees apart from each other. So I pointed the antenna at the transmitter that is furthest away. I did not bother using the rotation feature of this antenna because as others have pointed out, it rotates randomly. I would say just point the antenna in the direction of the furthest transmitter, scan on your television, and hopefully you get good reception.
I had been using a wall mount antenna and I was pulling in a dozen or so stations. I installed this antenna in my attic and now I'm probably pulling in around 40 stations (most I don't even care for, but I'm getting ABC / NBC / CBS / Fox reliably and those were the ones I was most interested in).
Again, knowing the distance and direction to your transmitters is something you need to figure out! Also, the higher the antenna the better. If you have a lot of trees, hills, & buildings in your area it will affect your signal also.
Now, on to something I figured out about interference. There is a guy called antenna man in PA (you can search up his videos) who is extremely helpful with antennas. He totally disses this antenna! I'm sure there are much much better antennas out there, but this one worked for my situation, and the value here is incredible. I would say if it works for you, go with it. If it doesn't work you can return it and go with something more elaborate (and expensive).
NOW, on the second day I had this antenna, it started raining at night. I turned on the television, and about half the channels were dropping out. I figured it had to be the rain, so I just shut off the television. The next morning the sky was clear, I turned on the television, and all my stations were back. That evening, I turned on the television again, and many of the channels were again dropping out. However, the skies were clear. OK, so, at night I was losing reception. What was the issue?
I did some research and found out there are things around the house that can interfere with ANY over-the-air (antenna) solution for television. So, why was I losing my reception only at night? I did some research online and the thing that made the most sense was related to an electronic item that I use only at night: my LED light bulbs & the dimmer switches that I use to operate them. I'm not sure if the LED lights or the dimmer switches is contributing,or both, but I found that when my LED lights were off, or, were in the fully illuminated position on the dimmer, I had no interference on the television. When I put the dimmer into a very dim setting, I lost many of my stations.
The initial solution was to just turn my lights off. But I did a little more research and found something called "ferrite cores" that you can order on Amazon --- they're very inexpensive. They need to go on the wires of the interference source, which takes some work to get into the electrical junction boxes. But once I did this, I was amazed that I was able to have most of my LED lights on at a low dimmer setting and they now barely interfere with the television picture. I haven't seen anyone here write about this, so I just thought I would share my experience in case anyone else is using LED lights and dimmers. Just beware. It has nothing to do with the antenna, and everything to do with the interference cause by the lights and dimmers.
The antenna itself pulls in a great signal for me, and I'm very happy with it. Installation was relatively easy.
I thanked Bill for is offer and let him know that I would just buy a cable locally (my wife is anxious to see her game shows) but, I really appreciated the offer. Saturday mid-morning, with a new cable in hand I continued the installation. In just a short while I had the installation completed. Completed the channel scan on my TV and was astounded that we now have 29 channels (instead of 8 or 9 with the old omni-directional antenna) and the reception is near perfect. I scanned for channels with the antenna pointing north toward Portland and the local stations are picture perfect. The channels from the south are not so good however, with the provided remote I can rotate the antenna to the south and the channels clear right up and come in picture perfect. We are so jazzed to have local OTA TV again. No more worthless, over priced cable TV. For less than $60 and at the most 1 hour of my time and we are cable free and watching free TV from ABC, NBC, CBS, OPB... Best 60 bucks I've spent in a long while and one of the best customer experiences I have had in years....Thanks Bill at pingbingding, you've made my day.
