0-30 mile range, anyone pick up signals from farther out?

I was never able to get channel 44 because the signal was not there. I lived in a river valley. I feel that I would have gotten it if I had lived on one of the hills in Providence. I even tried an antenna direct 4e which has a range of 65 miles and was never able to get 44. Antenna direct 4E: 4 Element Bowtie Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna - 60 Mile Range

In Providence, RI, using an amplifier with the antenna I was able to pick up a station in Worcester, MA. The distance is about 40 miles. I think you should be able to pick up channels from even further. My location was in a metal frame building, on a balcony, in a river valley, surrounded by tall trees, and in hilly New England.

Yes, I had mine installed inside my attic and I was getting about 50-60 miles. If you mount outside and high enough to clear trees and buildings you will be surprised!

I haven't really tested to see how far the range is....but...our garage is about 30-40 feet from our house and we have an extension out there and the service seems to be OK.

I live in a rural area. My range is double - maybe triple - of other standard USB antennas that I tried. I can pick up signals from much further than that but not connect to them. About 300 yards and at a weak connection is the best I've done with mine. Full strength at 100 yards.

I've been outside and had great reception for several hundred feet. I've walked to end of road (600ft) and lose reception probably at about 500ft. Of course some static comes in to play at that distance but still pretty impressive.

I would not recommend going wireless for this distance with all that metal in the line of sight. Tried on shorter rig and kept losing the signal.

sorry, i can't answer that. most of my signals are from the closest big city which is 20 miles away, but i get excellent signals from those channels. hope this helps.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner. It depends on how many other wireless signals are in the area. Sometimes I've had a range up to 50 yards or more. Other times not as much. 30 yards shouldn't be a problem.

I place the range extender about 30-35 feet away from the router and I get great signal strength

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.

70 miles is a long way but it is worth the try. You may need to go to an outdoor antenna or amplified one.

Line of sight as far as you can see. If you have a good antenna (to a certain extent, bigger is better) and a good location (up high above everything) you can easily get over 80 miles direct. I use a repeater (located on a mountain top) that is about 80 miles from me and it is no problem. My signal relayed through that repeater can go even farther, another 100 miles.

I have a strong signal through a brick building up to 1/2 mile. Beyond that I don't know.

Reception distance varies with number of walls it is going through. Not very strong signal after 50-75 feet.

I am 30 miles away from broadcast towers and although they are quite clear, the lower channels are tough to tune in. I'd say you should probably go with a larger outdoor antenna at that distance.

No. Just connect direct to tv and then plug in black box to outlet. I believe you can get signals up to a 75 or 150 mile radius. All I know I get up 89 channels.

You're lucky with 4 feet. If I touch my phone it loses signal. If I switch to another app I lose signal (iPhone 4S and iPhone 5S). I also like a mile south of a WGN radio tower and a half mile North of a WBBM radio tower and 20 miles West of O'Hare airport.
