Great Antenna - Good Long Range Reception.
340310
I needed a long range antenna to connect to a network about 1/8 mile away. It works great. When I first installed the antenna, I couldn't believe how many networks it found. It doesn't require any drivers with Windows 8. Just connect it to the USB and it works. It also comes with a WIFI utility program. I downloaded a later version on Cranes website for Windows 8. I also ordered the 30' extension so I can mount the antenna on the roof if needed. The antenna is Omni-directional so you do not have to worry about pointing it in a specific direction. Makes installation much easier.

Very good reception. I bought two of them and I'm 27 miles SW from NYC. They both work very well but they are very directional so you need to experiment with them to get the most channels that you can. One is on the second floor facing NE against a wall and works very well and picks up all NYC channels with only one a problem channel. A big improvement over an early DTV antenna I had purchased from CVS. The other is on the first floor on the floor facing NE toward a sliding glass door. The long cable in the shiny white is a plus as you never know how far you need to go to get the best DTV reception.

I even get some Philly stations which is amazing in the opposite direction on the second floor.

The only thing I wish is that they sold the stand separately, it would be handy if you needed to use one.

This antenna worked amazingly well. We were able to get a lot of over the air channels. We ultimately bought a more expensive antenna, but this works really well if you're close to a tower.

This antenna does exactly what it's supposed to do and it does it quite well. I live about 35 miles south of Los Angeles, so we are not too far away from the broadcast antenna sites, but we are far enough that you have to put a little effort into selecting an antenna and aiming it correctly. I already have one outside amplified antenna that is mounted on the roof and is aimed correctly, however, the signal strength/quality is not as good as that of this product which is basically propped up on top of a bookshelf in an interior corner of my bedroom.

My only complaint is that the three small pieces of double-sided tape are not really a practical mounting solution in my case. They would probably be fine if the necessary aiming direction lined up with a wall or window, but I have to position it at about a 40 degree angle. Right now, it is propped up with rolled up towel holding it in position. I have seen a couple other antennas in this style that have a small mounting base that attaches to the thicker area where the wire goes into the antenna. I have a little mounting kit with a ball swivel, some extensions, and a bracket that I will use to fashion a ceiling mount for this antenna (it's sold on Amazon as a mounting kit for small projectors and video cameras). $7 is nothing to set this up correctly, but it would be nice if they could add a similar mount as part of the package.

The length of the coax cable is great along with that of the power adaptor and the small power injector. The quality of all of the components seems very good. All that plus the excellent signal quality makes this a winner, but with the small mounting caveat if you need to orient the antenna in any direction that is not parallel to the wall or window.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that this antenna has worked better than I could imagine, in our location 16 miles north of Detroit, It brings in all the channels that I thought might be available, and - surprise - many that I had never heard of or seen advertised. Particularly surprising was finding that most of the major channels ( 2, 4, 7 56 and 62) carried a second station (sometimes two). There appeared to be three 'commercials only' stations. The reception was good on all channels, and the clarity and brilliance better than satellite dish reception. Of course, most of the channels available though basic cable or dish reception (and subscription)  are missing, so how important are they to you  Also, we are well within the quoted 50 mile range.so it should work well, but a previous antenna I had tried was useless for most local channels .

I have 30+ plus years of experience as a ham in almost every environment.  I own other ExpertPower antennas.  They are great.  You can add this one to the group.  My buddy and I take our hand-talkies to various conventions to stay in touch.  It works well.  The only problem is that a long antenna gives great reception, but pokes you in the eye when you bend down.  This antenna is a good trade off.  Still good TX/RX abilities.  But at a slightly lower range.  Don't worry, I was still able to work all my old repeaters, and you will too.  The long antenna is still going with me into the wild.  But urban environment works will with this one.

A high quality, well made antenna  -  This one will probably still be on your tower ten years from now
You can pretty much count on receiving most stations within 75 miles and possibly more, depending on the transmitter's power, your location and the height of your tower.  I bought two and all of the stations I receive (about 25 to 30) are from at least 65 miles away

My goal was to avoid an outside antenna, yet still receive all local stations, one VHF and 8 UHF (21 total sub-channels).  The stations range from 15 to 37 miles from my house over fairly flat terrain.  The directions to their transmitter towers vary from 302 deg to 4 deg (a 62 degree spread) so I avoided any highly directional antenna (I don't want the hassle of a rotor).

I removed the head off an old camera tripod and bolted the Winegard FV-HD30 onto the extended vertical aluminum tube.  Once placed in the attic (about 11 feet above ground level)  I found that, like all indoor antennas, moving it around was necessary to find the reception "sweet spot".  Often, just moving an antenna a couple of feet to one side makes a world of difference.  When I found the ideal placement the signal strength meter on my living room TV (about 40 feet of coax from the antenna) was pegged on all 21 sub-channels.  I then inserted a 2-way splitter near the antenna and added the bedroom TV (about 12 feet of coax).

Due to the signal reduction of the splitter I feared than I might have to buy and install a pre-amp or distribution amplifier, but I found it wasn't necessary.  All sub-channels are great on both TVs, even with 4 inches of snow on the roof for several days last week.  The signal strength on two stations dropped from 10 bars to 8 bars after installing the splitter, but that still provides 100% perfect picture and sound.

All of my expectations were met or exceeded by this little antenna and I highly recommend it.

Very nice antenna for the price.  Im in between Milwaukee and Chicago.  I have a good range of signals and have 40 miles to MKE and 60 miles to CHI town.  Really good reception.  Works great!

No problems so far. We live about 45 miles from the antennas and get great reception. Clearer than cable.

Looked at lots of antennas and finally settled on this one because of the range and reviews. I live about 60-70 from any broadcast towers and this antenna picks up the stations to the north and south of me. Had DirecTV for years but got tired of paying over $100/month for service when I don't watch that many channels. I installed the antenna in my attic and wasn't sure if it would pick up much, especially since I live in a ranch home. But I put it as high up as I could and now I tune in 29 channels with excellent picture.

I live 7 miles from all of our cities broadcast towers. So the 25 mile antenna was more than enough for me. It works surprisingly well, and gave me many options of placement without loss of signal. Highly recommended, just check how far you are away from the broadcast towers first.

The antenna seems to work well. I installed it in my attic. I'll up date this review after about 6 months of actual use.

well built and has a very good gain in the uhf band. easily picks-up DT at ranges of over 60 miles. note- I won't call this a vhf antenna, but it should work short range.

I tried several antenna and this has worked the best for me.  I have 2 VHF channels that other antennas have had problems bringing in, and 14 UHF.  The VHF-High 9 &13 have been nearly impossible to get at the same time on other antennas.  This antenna has a wide enough pickup pattern to allowed me get both VHF channels 9and 13 even though they are 72 degrees apart.  The UHF and VHF reception has been very good and very stable.  I've mounted in attic and have a 50 coax run to receiver.  All my channels are between 19 and 27 miles away with as much as 113 degrees separation.  I've split the middle of the direction. The independent VHF and UHF low noise amps have performed very very well.  I know I'd get better performance outside but living in a high wind area I've elected to get a little less performance and keep in inside the attic.  I do get a little bit of a signal that is completely off the side of the antenna on channel 20 that is 62 miles away.  It is unwatchable but the TV does pick it up in a channel adding scan.  During high winds, rain, lightning there is no change in performance, it just never breaks up, never.

This antenna works very well, We live in the northcentral Pa. mountains and very difficult to receive off air signals. However this antenna I have mounted about 40 feet in the air on a pole. I had an all channel antenna which I was able  to receive two channels from Binghamton N. Y. area. I also added a CM-7777 pre-amplifier with the two antennas and now receive the Elmira N. Y. area networks.
This is a good sturdy antenna as the multiple-point mounts provides a positive solid mounting.

This is a very good hd antenna, it hooks up easily and since  my bedroom is on the second story there was no need to mount the antenna on the roof, close to a window will do.  I have to state here that i am in a major city the antenna farm for the stations are no more them 15 miles away,max. so i expected to get good reception and i did, the major networks are crystal clear and even the college and public access stations were good.  The number of station were in the thirties.  No downsides so far and now i have one less tv to pay the cable company for reception.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Esky-2016-Updated-50-Miles-Range-Ultra-Thin-Indoor-Digital-HDTV-Antenna/dp/B018G7CUWY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Esky 2016 Updated 50 Miles Range Ultra-Thin Indoor Digital HDTV Antenna</a>
