The one that it comes with works fine but for better performance get a boosted antenna and make sure it has the sma connection, the gold connector on the cord. I have 2 antenna's, one that came with my dvd/nav deck which is boosted and the other that comes with the boyo box. Boosted is better, also the ground and 12v wire, hook to any ground source but the 12v I connected it to my car lighter power wire under my deck using wire crimps.

I bought several antenna's, didnt seem to make a difference, I ended up using an amplifier and the antenna that came with the Boyo.

I bought the unit for my boat but havent hooked it up yet. There is one that comes with the unit but if you change antennas I think you will have to put a new connection on the one you buy to make it work with the BOYO. You can use the connection off the included antenna and solder it to the new antenna wires, Good luck

Reading the description of that antenna, I noticed that it has a built in amplifier. Try using it first, to see what your reception is, before adding a separate amp.

We did. My high performance gets about 30 channels in my area. My son's (in the same house) extreme antenna gets 2-3 more channels and is more solid on some of the channels that are a little shaky on mine. Although the extreme is an improvement, I personally wouldn't pay double for it (although I probably would have been willing to pay $10 more for it), but that's up to you.

My antenna is working well. I need to move it around, upside down, high, to findthe best link to the stations.

I have this antenna and have no issues. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002L0BXIK/ref=mp_s_a_1_22?qid=1387051368&sr;=8-22π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70. You will need one that will do multi freq.

I normally goto tvfool.com and use actual address, and it will tell me what channels to expect, with different types of antenna, either indoor or roof or ... It's prediction is very accurate. I will try different location with mohu, and have the tv re-scan and "re-save" the frequency every time. Took 1 hour to find the sweet spot, but well worth it.

I get great reception with the new terk antennae, I am about 25 miles away from the tv towers. I have the non amplified version, however I bought the amplified version for my step father and it doesn't seem to work any better for him and he is about 20 miles from the tv towers.

Hi, you should get those channels, this antenna has more than a 50 mile radius. Give it a shot and put it up high where no interference will block you signal. Hope this helps.

I do not have any trouble with my reception but it may have to do with my location. The good news is that it comes with an antenna, though not a fantastic one. I receive a strong signal from my favorite radio station which is located over 60 miles away, if that helps.

We use an over the air antenna for the local channels. It picks up around 20 channels and they are all high definition.

Would recommend going to antennaweb.org where I not only found out which antenna to purchase, but also to find out what stations can be received--depending on one's ZIP code. FYI: I'm based in Central Florida.

Actually that is my current setup. I have a Moho Leaf antenna and it works great. It also picks up TV guides for all current air tv channels.

Rabbitears.com is much better than some to show where signal is transmitted. I have three towers and several channels are transmitted from each. Only one is transmitted from all three.

Sorry, I am not from your area but the antenna works very well in my area. Good construction, easy setup. I am in Westlake, Ohio and pick up 35 channels. Tvfool.com will tell you what channels you can pick up and how many miles they are. These are all local, independent, and PBS channels. Sorry no cable tv channels. FYI I have this antenna connected to 8 port amplified splinter with 5 TVs and everything works great.

Yes. The stock antenna is good if your looking at the repeater tower. Our members say don't even try to talkaround town on simplex because you most likely you 'can't' ! I tryed without much luck and then bought thisantenna. I talk with it checking into our club net and control say's my signals are as good as we can get.
