10 Strongest Omnidirectional Tv Antenna

So…. making a long story a little shorter. I have a small little cabin on a large lake, 95% of the time we are outdoors and never inside, but if inside it is always nice to watch a little TV. I bought and have used the black flat mat antenna for the last two years. I thought it worked ok…. the stations I am trying to pick up are all 30 miles away as the crow flies in 3 different directions. I got about 16 stations – most came in and would freeze making it very difficult to follow a story line. So I said what the heck, let me try this one.
It came 3 days earlier that the earliest prediction. So that was a huge plus. I mounted it and then ran inside to see if anything changed….I had a small booster than came with the other flat antenna, and I simple used that…
after re scanning the channels …I got only 4 channels and all of them digitally breaking up! I was mad as …..well, you get the idea.
In the back of my mind – all boosters the same? Right? noooooooope! So I took the tv off the wall and went ahead and replaced the old booster with the one for THIS antenna… and re scanned…..
WOW – what a shock …..I had 16 that sometimes I could watch and all of a sudden there are 38 channels with about 32 of them coming in clear as a bell!
So – bottom line, use all the parts and you should be better off than another cheap antenna. I am very satisfied at the moment.
Very simple to place up – MAKE sure you have a mask or pole, this does NOT come with a pole!

I’ve always been a big fan of regular HDTV antennas because I’m not into paying for satellite. We had one that worked really well and then just stopped one day, this has been a great replacement so far! I needed a J Hook to mount it to the house but I had to buy it myself. If you don’t have a pole to mount it on you will need that but all other stuff is included. So far the picture is excellent and we have had no issues. I get the main channels that i am concerned about, Fox, ABC, NBC and CBS. If you’re on a budget you can’t go wrong with this antenna as a substitute for Cable and Satellite! I haven’t tried it on a boat or RV but I assume it would work just as well depending on where you are geographically. You still need a broadcast tower within 65 miles.

I purchased this to replace a 35 year old electronic, omni-directional antenna that had seen better days. I live about 30 air miles from both DC and Baltimore. I just installed it on the mast but have not hooked it up to the house TV. However, I figured that I would test it out on the TV in my detached garage. It was placed about 6 feet off the ground. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the TV which had an indoor antenna and barely picked up a few channels was able to discover over 66 channels in both the DC and Baltimore markets. The permanent location is about 25 feet off the ground and I will update the review once it is hooked up.
