Will the Walltenna Clear work in a rural area?

Hasn't worked better then 2 clothes hangers twisted and taped to a Steren 200-500 75-300 Ohm Matching Transformer FM/UHF/VHF 2-Wire to Coax Adapter, that you can get at Radio shack for a buck. This got just as many channels, not sure if I used it right, but tried it on all 4 sides of house and that's how it went.

I lived about 20 miles outside of a midsize city with rolling hills and mountains to our West. Our Walltenna picks up signals from as far away as 45 miles if the transmitters are high powered. I received 22 channels all relatively "local"... cable bills are way out of line, so when my wife quits her job and retires like I have we will be cutting the Cable gleefully.

I live on a farm 20 miles west of madison wi at the bottom of a valley and it works great. just make sure it's on a window facing where the tower originates the signal.

I'm not sure. I know it works very well in the City. The stations are about 28 miles from my house.

If it is a matter of not having signal inside the house, the device will definitely help. The antena should be placed on the outside on high ground, it will pick it up and repeat it down. If signal in general is poor in the area, even in high ground, it might not make the trick. Write to the manufacturer, their customer service is great. It doesn't need to talk to any other devices.

This product could do what you want. As others have noted, it really depends on having a line of sight connection with no trees in the way. The antenna distance above ground will also make a difference, higher = better. Also note you will need a Wi-Fi hub to provide Wi-Fi services at the distant end.

Absolutely! The coverage is still the same footage as the directions indicates. I don't know how put the signal does right thru walls. We even put our unit inside a tote and it still picks up.

You will need two of these plus two rocket dishes with towers at least 30 to 50 foot in the air to clear (most) trees, the higher the better for you will need a clear view. This could get a bit pricy but that what you get with being out in the boonies...What you are looking at is a wireless WAN. You will likely want to go the 2.4 ghz since you will not need a lience to broadcast over the air. That the short of it. Might be more practical to get a T1 line but that too can be pricy.

If you have no Internet access because you are behind a cement wall it won't work - if you are just in a remote area this will do the trick.

Hi: I'm using it in a suburb with the stations about 20-30 miles away and all I can say is that it works remakably well at these distances.Al

It does provide better reception.............depends on your surrounding stations and topography

Yes it works quite well. Line of site and type of antenna used will also have effect on this however.

Hi Mark, I live in the country about 10 miles from the nearest city in Wisconsin. I can honestly say that I have NO problems with reception. I enjoy cutting wood to heat my log home and use a Farmall 400 tractor to help out. At 65 years of age I do have some challenges hearing. However, the music or news I listen to on my 3M Peltor come in very clear. And, I don't have to turn the volume up much. I believe this is because the Peltor's prevent a lot of the outside noise from being heard. I definitely recommend them !!!

Yes, I have mine sitting against the outside wall of my house. The screen side out. While mine isn't screwed fast, the reception is still very good.

I live in the city and don't have any problem. My mom lives in rural area and it did not work for her.

I use mine outdoors, however, it should work very well indoors. There may be some signal loss from the building structure, more or less depending on the material the building is made of. Also, the way this anntenna mounts, it may be hard to set up next to a TV but can probably be set up in an attic with cable run to the TV. Hope this helps. I am happy with this antenna.

No it will not, you will need to put a virtual wall sensor in that area. You would have to move it yourself.

Not that I have noticed. I have an android and do most of my traveling in rural areas but it worked just fine my last trip through the twin cities.one thing I did notice is that I mounted the ball on the radio and the blue tooth for the phone now has static. When I take it off the ball it clears up.

I have to use a magnetic mounted anntenna on top my truck. The repeater is about 25 miles away from my house. I can hear but not transmit. It's a great radio I like mine.
