80 Miles Long Range TV Antenna - 2018 Newest Version OIRIKY Indoor Digital HDTV Antenna with Detachable Amplifier Signal Booster - 13.2FT High Performance Coaxial Cable - Freeview Local Channels

I ordered this product as I am trying to "cut the cable cord" I have several Roku sticks but Roku will not give me my local stations. So, I decided to try one of these antennas. Don't know about the others, but this one works like a charm. It took all of 5 minutes to connect it and let my tv search for channels. I was expecting 2 or 3 to show up, instead I found 23 channels, all free, over the air. The antenna pulls them in crisp and clear with no problems at all. I would certainly recommend this product to anyone. Oh, I have this and a Roku device on one tv and when I want my local news, I just switch from Roku to air and back again. The best of both worlds.

Ordered and pretty fast soon delivered!Unpack and follows instructionand what?So in brief,, the Device just Do Not want to Works or Sounds any live activity when scan for digital signal to fund at all!Tryin from diferent rooms, diferent spots on walls, behide the HDTV set, layin on table in diferent places, in windows in any room(s)....spend over 4 hours and no any sounds this unit shows in any positive actions.I guess just bad already returns unit or just comes with own internal defects,,or just don't works in my loco!No any channels funds when scans the TV for digital signals, and nothings works at all in my House but, then I still for dozens times to change location with hope to makes it work but unfortunate this device don't and don 't shows any live sign of works!Finaly make Report..,Send Request for Return and Request for full Refunds.Get pretty soon Returns Aproved = Print the Return Label, pack all device with all belongs and today early morning Drop in UPS at 10:38 AM 2018 - wait now Since Delivery Return For Full Refund.This device I believe havin internal defect or just in my House want works as no any TV signal pik-up comin here.I check the National Listing on my Area and shows 14 transmiitng in distanse abouy 28 miles HDTV signals are workin..My Cheap Card from Walmart Loco Store I got previous the Clear TV HDTV card with Amplifier I got maxi 6 channels only from which only two are strongs with good receptions the other 4 remains weak blinkin trasmision signal hard to wach comin and disapear the picture.So after Printing the Return Label and then useless Device drop in UPS loco Store.Hope all the other Guys gettin more lucky but, in my place this unit do not works at all.. sorry

Like nearly everything else that is made in China, Quality Control in the Manufacturing Process of this item was terrible. See my additional comments below added after my purchase of another of these antennas. |||One disappointment you'll find is that the amplifier provides no significant boost to signal strength. The amplifier also needs to be plugged into a Wall USB Power Adapter (which is not included). This is dumb and inconvenient (and obviously a cost cutting measure by the manufacturer who cares nothing about customer convenience). If you want to use an antenna amplifier with this unit, throw away the one that comes with it and buy the Winegard LNA-100 Boost. It provides a noticeable boost in signal strength with this antenna. Just don't have unrealistic expectations about any antenna amplifier. It can't remove the noise from a weak signal but it might prevent occasional pixelation of a generally decent signal.As many of you may know, the location of the antenna can make a big difference in how well it performs. Even a difference of an inch or two up or down, left or right can make a huge difference in your reception. So finding a good location for the antenna is critical, and can be very time consuming. Unfortunately, everyone's environment is different and some people may be unable to get good reception no matter where they place the antenna. |||Anyone with electronics background knows that antenna size is inversely related to the frequency. And as such, a UHF antenna (UHF Frequency Range is 300 Mhz to 3000 Mhz) is much smaller than a VHF antenna (VHF Frequency Range is 30 MHz to 300 MHz). This is clearly only a UHF antenna (in my opinion) based on it's size and poor performance at VHF Frequencies. ||| This antenna (which is a small 9" x 10" in size) performs reasonably well at UHF Frequencies. Problem is, not all TV Channels broadcast at UHF frequencies. For instance, my local channel 5 is broadcast at a UHF frequency of 521 MHz and is received well by this antenna, but my channel 12 is broadcast at a VHF frequency of 207 MHz and my TV reports "No Signal" from this antenna. ||| Disappointing, yes! But based on the small size of this antenna, I do not find it's VHF performance surprising. What I don't understand is the claim that this is a VHF/UHF antenna. That is clearly misleading. ||| Comparing this antenna's performance to my full size outdoor antenna that is mounted on a 20 foot tower:At VHF frequencies, my outdoor antenna's performance is far superior to this one. But at UHF frequencies with this antenna placed in a window (approximately 10 feet above ground), it performs as good or better than my yagi outdoor antenna on a 20 foot tower. |||ADDITIONAL COMMENTS RELATING TO THE PURCHASE OF A SECOND ANTENNA: Although both antennas I purchased performed similarly, there was still a huge problem with the second antenna I purchased (at least for my intended use). I wanted to make an array of the antennas and combine their signals to further boost the weak signals in my area. Problem is, when doing this, it's extremely important that the length of the antenna feed cable of each be exactly the same, or else the two signals will cancel rather than complement each other. Due to poor quality control by the manufacturer, one antenna's feed cable was 13 feet long and the other was 16.6 Feet long. That difference made my intended use of the two antennas impossible.

I live near a dense urban area (1 mi from DC) so I expected to pull in a lot of channels. I did...over 50 of them (many of which I don't know who they are because of the way the TV recognizes them - but that is not the fault of the antenna). A friend of mine installed this in their home which is further away and at the bottom of a hilly area. It pulled in 12 more channels than his former attenna. He believes it is a function of the amplifier.I installed mine in an upstairs bedroom (classic townhome configuration) and placed it on the window. So far, no hassles with the HOA. There reason I gave the product 4 instead of 5 stars are not because of the efficiency of the antenna - cause it works well, I had two small issues. 1. getting the protective vinyl off the stickers (used to hold it to the wall or window). I had to resort to tweezers to get the protective film off. This was the longest part of the install. 2. The instructions are not really very clear. One diagram showed using the amplifier with only one wire attached to the TV. Another shows both cords attached. This clearly needs to be improved. So, if these small annoyances were not there, I would have given the device a FIVE STAR rating.
