Outdoor HDTV Antenna - ANTOP UFO 360° Omni-Directional Reception Amplified TV Antenna for Outdoor, Attic,RV Used, 65 Miles Range with Smartpass Amplified & Built-in 4G LTE Filter(PL-414BG)

This Antenna would not work at all indoors. I tried it inside and was not able to receive any channels. I then extended the coaxial cable outside and was able to receive 4 stations. I then mounted it on a pole that was roughly 8' off the ground and the most channels i could receive was 12. My original (Costco) purchased flat antenna ($20.00) is located indoors next to a window and I can receive over 40 channels. The reason i wanted to outdoor antenna was two fold. First I did not want the Antenna in the house for cosmetic reasons and second I wanted a stronger signal to watch TV from my basement and or garage. So far my cheap antenna works the best. Interesting though, my RV has a factory powered antenna and from my same location I can receive well over 40 channels, yet the Antop UfO would not offer more then 12 channels.

I have a directional RCA yagi antenna attached to the side of my house and I get a lot of channels, but a few of the channels don't come in great because they are coming from a different direction. I figured an omni directional antenna would be a great way to get all of them without the need of adjusting the antenna. I ordered this one and mounted it to the same pole and coax the RCA went on and when I scanned channels I got 0. The RCA got over 30 channels, so I took the UFO down and put the RCA back.I am about 40-50 miles from the source, so they should have been within reach for this antenna. Unfortunately they were not and I returned it via Amazon. I am sure there are use cases for this if you are very close to the source or you can mount this very high, but it didn't fit my needs. I also question the longevity of the plastic in the Texas sun. I can see this getting brittle after a few years, but luckily I don't have to find out.

I haven't even gotten a chance to use this yet, because, while it pictures a coaxial cable coming from the device and into the power inserter, and mentions the easy 5-minute setup, when you get everything out of the box and begin the setup, Instruction 2.3 under "Connecting" says to "attach coaxial cable (not provided) to connector in the antenna."And in a little booklet that comes with it are examples of high-grade coaxial cables you may want to purchase.Why doesn't it say anywhere -- in fact, somewhere BOLD -- that you need to also have a coaxial cable? Those flat plastic antennas you can get for $25 include one, so you can open the box and plug it right into your TV! ugh.It's about 16" across, by the way, since the dimensions are also not listed.

I am 40-45 miles away from New York stations and pull signals close to 50% strength with 100% quality. This antenna works well and installs easily. It is mounted 35-40 ft up on the roof. Construction is not as robust as I expected, but it works well. I wonder long-term about the durability because it is made of a very light plastic. Time will tell.

I purchased this antenna to add to my Televes antenna for more direction. The antenna picked up well but still did not add any more channels.

Unfortunately I live about 65 mile range. Did not increase my channel selection. I believe it was my location and not the product that caused this.

This product provided 89 channels about 40 miles from Phoenix....excellent picture....very impressed!

I get few TV channels with it PBS FOX and one more but not even close to what is advertised.
