I decided to try this antenna to improve the reception at my house. I had two other brands of what seem to be similar antennas. This one blew them away. Highest channel count previously was about 80, with this one it's 110.

The main problem with this antenna, is that it DOES NOT USE a STANDARD COAX type connector for the cable that comes down from the antenna. The connector that is on the cable, which plugs into the control box, is a BNC type of connector, which means that you are limited in how far you can place the control box from the antenna (the cable is 8 meters or 26 feet long.) Obviously, if you mounting this antenna to your roof, the included cable might not be long enough (and the cable IS NOT replaceable it is hard-wired attached to the antenna module.) Most of the antennas that I have seen (and sold in the US) use a standard coax cable connection, which then allows for virtually any length of cable needed to come down to the control box. This antenna might be ok for someone who is using it close to, or in the same room as, the control box and TV. But if you are planning on mounting this on your roof, ... well "Forgetta' Bout It"!!

Cheap and light weight,that's good,horizontal bars fell off as it was being assembled,plastic clips weak,maybe,all pieces had to be assembled, like a bag of tinker toys,, got it assembled and the first day was great 71 channels...the second day the rotor would not turn,, the third day the stations would start dropping out..then the rotor started working again but only get 3 stations.. Have a different antenna on order. not easy to assemble .

it was cheap and you get what you pay for still I guess, it came pre broken and was difficult but not very to assemble more because it was so weakly constructed then hard to figure out. I don't know how well it works but I don't expect much and I can't use it until I fabricate a new base to replace the broken as shipped one. I can tell though it wouldn't last at all in any kind of bad weather so if you chance getting one plan on indoor use only. I would have returned it but it was so cheap it wasn't worth the time that would take. It really does have an amp and rotor and the rotor works so I know the power supply is good but I haven't got it into a signal yet to see if the amp does anything but 200 miles has to be a streach. I have a high gain 92 element one of much greater size and can't get reliable 65 mile range on a 30 foot mast and it is a top rated antenna so this may be good for an attic in townRead full review

I live in the west part of my city on a hill and could only get our local channel. I put the new antenna on a tower well above the tree line and it shouldn't have any problems picking up the many tv stations available with it's 900 mile antenna range as described, most stations near me are 25 to 75 miles. I wanted a backup antenna incase of storms when satellite TV goes out. But still I only get the local channel Also it's hard to add extra cable because the cable ends are not standard if you need the extra height .
