Does this have good antenna? My old flip samsung had trouble sending in a moderate snow. Thanks in advance.

So far my phone has good reception better than my wife's which is another type, we had a rather sever snow storm and I didn't notice any loss of signal.

I only used it in Texas,I had no problems at all in Rainey weather, I never used it while it was snowing, all we get down here is scorching heat, but the phone worked great

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.

It's not too windy where I live, but this antenna is lite weight and could be tossed around with a heavy storm I'm sure. If you secure it well you should not have a problem. It does work well.

This is a mid-range antenna, not a long range. And, I'm in a reception "hole" since broadcast went digital. When broadcast was analog, I could receive Dayton channels, sixty plus miles away. I could not receive even the strongest station with this antenna; but I can receive the Public channel, Bowling Green , which is slightly further away in the opposite direction. I'm not familiar with the antenna to which you referred in your query. If it works well for you, let me know.

The booster works well with the major cell providers ATT and Verizon. I have a constant bar and a half increase. We are happy with that increase. We will try other antenna directions now it is spring and the snow is gone.

We had it outside on a mountain top in central WV this past winter. Did not get to -20 (!!!), but only to just below +10. However, the cold did affect battery life. But snow and ice (if on the device), makes it inoperable; not necessarily the cold.

I'm currently using this antenna just for over the air tv signals. I got it during the winter and did not brave the cold to install it outside. I currently have it hanging in my attic and I don't use the rotor. If you go on-line you can find what direction to point the antenna towards to get maximum channels. The reception is damn good, but as with any antenna weather and cloud conditions do effect some of the channels. Over all I'm very happy with this antenna. It's a lot better than having a cable bill every month.

We did not find the antenna to be satisfactory. It was mounted on the roof of the house and didn't seem to do much of anything. Since we weren't sure if it was working properly, my husband called to seek help. Never got a response.

Yes, we live in a very windy area and had no issues. We are still having issues with the multiple recordings, but we are waiting for an update. When we reviewed all the other cable/dish companies...Dish is still the best programing, customer service, price and nice to deal with. The update on the hopper issue is coming out in a couple of weeks, so we are hanging in.

Depends on weather & cloud cover, but for the it does reception and awsome picture. I would definatly recomend it.

I live in a mountain area of Vermont. This paper thin antenna, did NOT work at all, not even one station came in. I use a regular house top digital hd antenna and get 15 stations. Is there something better out there ?

Not a problem. It works great in all weather. I live in Northern MN and it does get cold and it keeps working.

Yes... the antenna has been fine on my boat. Be warned, this unit has a weak processor and suffers when zooming in and out on detailed maps from the SD card.

I live 42 miles northwest of Chicago on flat terrain. I bought this antenna because it will go down to digital channel 7. We have two digital stations that broadcast on the VHF spectrum. I can receive 61 digital channels, although when it is overcast I will lose a few of the low powered stations. All the channels are broadcast from the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower) except for channel 24 which is broadcast from the Trump tower about a mile north of the Willis Tower and not as high. I have trouble receiving the channel 24 channels, when it is overcast, windy, snow or rain. This antenna is highly directional and you really have to play around with reception strength to get the best oeverall signal strength. A quarter inch rotation of the mast can mean good reception or no reception. This is probably true of all digital stations, no matter what the antenna is. An antenna which almost as good it the Winegard Air outdoor antenna which is a powered antenna and is only a rectangular black box measuring around 16" X 16' X 2". It doesn't even look like an antenna but it works pretty darned good. More expensive though. Antenna height is an important factor for long distance reception. I think mine is about 35 feet off the ground on the roof of my house mounted using a tripod base. I'm thinking about adding 10 more feet in height. Because of the size of the Winegard antenna, I probably would not need guy wires to hold it up. No matter what antenna you use, be sure you do a channel scan right after it is hooked up. Incidentaly the winegard works surprising well inside the house at maybe 5 feet height from ground level. I've tried many indoor powered antennas which hardly work at all. Winegard makes an indoor version of this antenna, but it probably is nowhere as good.

Hi James we get a lot of wind here to in west virgina we live on top of ridge. Its a big antenna and catches a lot of wind but so far its done great. One thing I suggest is using two inch mast pipe thu. I used inch and quarter and the wind bent it some but stayed up. I'm changing mine to two inch in spring. I live 50 100 miles to stations and I regularly get 30 to 37 channels. FREE You SHOULD INJOY IT

It works best with a outdoor antenna. However for the price it cant hurt to try it..
