GREAT STEALTH ANTENNA
Excellent outdoor antenna. Installed it to replace the PIRATE-TV satellite service. Was paying $160 month for tv. I used the old satellite mount and added some plastic conduit to get it above my roof line. I tried it just mounting it to the old mount and no go. The plastic mount that comes with the antenna will fit the 2” pipe on the old satellite mount, probably would have been fine if it were on the other side of the house. You do have to aim this antenna as I live down in a valley. Works great now. I use this on my FIRE TV RECAST so I get all my locals sent over to the FIRE STICKS in my house. I use SLING TV on the FIRE STICK now and am saving over $120 a month and get same channels as PIRATE-TV and extra channels too. When I first got this antenna, I just set it on the porch and hooked it up to a tv to see what it would do. WOW pulled in way more stations than my attic mounted 20 year old antenna. This thing ROCKS!UPDATE 2/21/20It’s been thru some 60mph wind and still rockin!, did add a AIR-TV tuner from SLING TV for locals on the sling. The amplifier that comes with the antenna has 2 outputs , this allowed me to run the FIRE TV RECAST and AIR-TV box together. Now I can watch TODAY show on the 10” echo show in the morning while I get ready then I can watch wherever I go on the SLING app as they don’t limit my choices like PIRATE-TV did. You can also use FIRE TV RECAST out of the house too if you want your local stations only wherever you go. Hats off to Amazon for the fire tv devices.

Not a 360 antena
First let me say what this antenna is not: it is not 360 degree; it does not receive past 60 miles; and they have not responded to 2 emails. Now the details. I am 60 miles from 2 large broadcast centers that are 90 degrees apart. I had a Lava that would not get Fox very well from either city before it failed. I bought this to get a choice of either region due to news and weather.I pointed this directly between broadcast areas, but only got one city with good consistent signals. Fox was still pixelated. I emailed the address on the enclosed “if you have trouble” card but no response. I played with connections and adjustments off and on for a week waiting for a reply. After this time I sent a second message but still no answer. 1 more time on the roof and I hope to have it aimed directly at the Fox antenna and get reception. Let me add that I am approximately 100 feet above the broadcast cities with very few trees and no buildings to interfere with the signal. This antenna works no better than others I have had if aimed at the directly at the towers, but is comparable if you are not to far away.

Highly recommend
** Update : Still recommend this outdoor antenna BIG TIME - but like EVERY ORHER ANTENNA I’ve ever used north of Dallas it eventually QUIT picking up Channel 8 (VHF) out of the blue. Every other channel works but this VHF channel has always been a challenge. This antenna didn’t grab it until I put it way up high - but now it STILL quit.The station is partly at fault, the cheap plastic of the antenna is partly at fault. Worked until a 2 day rain storm now prevents it from working properly. 50/50. But still better than most.———Installed right on the SAME POLL I yanked the stupid satellite dish from. Faced it in the right direction and used the satellite TV COAX cable. It ran into my house to every TV. First scan 78 Digital Channels. I hope it hold up to Texas heat. I’ll update. But now 110%. Much much better than any other outdoor antenna I’ve tried.

Great Antenna
I bought this hoping for the best since it was not cheap. I was very happy to find it picks up all the local over the air channels. I do have the luxury of all my local stations broadcasting from the same general area so I don't have to worry about signals coming from different directions. I mounted it on the mast of my old Direct TV dish and I ran a new cable down to the first connector on the side of the house. From there I used the Direct TV cabling to the main junction box in the garage. From there I used the Direct TV multiplexer to all the outlets around the house and I am driving multiple TV's in the house without any issues. I might just have been lucky but I think is definitely worth a try to see if it works for you. It looks good on the mount outside and does not conflict with HOA rules.

As promised
This antenna does everything promised. Far superior to the one I had up. Nearest station is 55 miles while some are 90. I live in town among a lot of trees thus I am extremely pleased. Note in the picture that it is mounted just above the Lava HD-8008. I moved the coax from the Lava to the Vansky with awesome results. Next trip onto the roof the Lava will come down.

As advertised with excellent customer service
The first thing I need to comment on is the excellent customer service I received via email. I had an issue with a broken connector on the amplifier box. I sent an email through Amazon and it was replied to the next day. They shipped me a new amplifier within 5 days. (note: Don't use a wrench to tighten your coax fittings, hand tight is fine.)I have the antenna mounted outside on a pole about 20 feet off the ground. Without the amplifier box I was picking up 35 channels. Not unusual as I am in the suburbs of Detroit. When I installed the amplifier I went up to 65 channels, including CBC 9 out of Canada.This is a very good product and they provide excellent customer support. The only thing I would suggest is to be carefull when tightening the coax connections.

Works great!
I cut the cord and tried a couple indoor antenna, which were ok, but I was hoping for more channels. I live 35 miles from the nearest ota station out in the country. This is a 360 antenna so easy to install. I just used the coaxial cable from the Satellite to hook to the antenna and the t.v. I get over 65 channels including ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX. I love it.

Location location
This was a slight disappointment. But could be on my location to nearest signal. Was hoping for more channels. Only 12. Have heard from other closer to city 30+ channels

Didn't know I could receive so many channels!
This was my 3rd antenna I was trying and couldn't believe it when it found 14 channels. They all come in strong and the booster really makes a difference.
