CeKay Outdoor Antenna Yagi Satellite HD Antenna - Attic or Roof Mount TV Antenna, RV Antenna for Camping, Long Range Digital OTA Antenna for Clear Reception, 4K 1080P, All Metal

I first installed this antenna in my attic with the matching CeKay amplifier and found the reception to be just average, with good reception at night but only average reception during the day. I’m sure that was impacting the antenna s ability to get the signal as I’reinstalled The antenna on the eve of my roof outside and was able to get I now receive channels from Tampa (70 miles away) to Fort Myers (40 miles away), and they are crystal clear both during the day and at night; I live in the 34223 zip code area of Florida.

For me, it was a win-win situation. It is a good deal. One of the pre-installed rods was bent, so one star was taken off. br>br>This is the B089G4WRC4 Amazon ASIN for this review. br>br>I'm going to use it INDOORS, in a window, on the interior window sill. br>br>At this point, I'm picking up a lot more channels. br>br>In my installation, I used one of the LTE filters, ASIN B07Y26F22P, as well as a new 12 foot RG6 coaxial cable from this new antenna, ASIN B06XNK2XZW. br>br>On top of my television, I had a non-amplified rabbit ears antenna. I'm in a city about 20 miles from some stations and further away from others. Here, the houses are mostly made of brick, with few aluminum sidings and no more than two stories. br>br>Until recently, I had been using my old rabbit ear antenna, which only got me ONE channel, for about ten years. br>At the time, I could only get a few channels. I was only able to get one channel now! br>It's all the same rabbit ears antenna, TV, and location. br>br>While researching antennas, I came across the possibility that 4G could cause interference. br>br>With this new antenna and without the LTE filter, I was able to see more channels right away than I could with my old rabbit ears. Adding the LTE filter did not cause me to lose any channels, but it did allow me to see more. br>br>For me, this setup worked perfectly, no fuss, no rooftop antenna (yet), easy to deal with right now (indoor), and at a reasonable price. br>br>Cons: br>One of the pre-installed rods was bent, and it appears that it was bent by about 10 degrees. Where the bend begins, there is a ding in the rod. br>I was afraid of breaking it, so I didn't try to straighten it. br>It wasn't a shipping issue; the external shipping box was in good condition, and the antenna box was sealed and not crushed. The manufacturer put the antenna in the box with the bent rod as it was. br>br>How about longevity? br>I'm not sure if this antenna can withstand the heat of the sun and the cold of the winter. The longer rods are held in place by black plastic holders on the lower half of the antenna, which you must assemble. br>It's that plastic; if it breaks down, the rods could fall out. Advantages: br>br> br>Even indoors, it works. br>Lower cost than a large number of antennas. br>br>Construction of this antenna: br>Completing the antenna construction is simple; you just need to build the wider lower half, insert the longer rods into their black plastic holders, and attach that lower half to the upper half of the antenna, which already has its rods inserted. The antenna can be built with only your hands and no other tools. br>br>However, some elderly people may find it difficult to push the rods into their black plastic holders. br>br>The dimensions listed appear to be accurate as well, despite the fact that they were only estimated by eye rather than measured.

br>br>I was doing some upgrades and had a nice RG6 cable running to the attic, so I figured why not put an antenna up there and see how it works? br>br>I began with a low-cost flexible sheet antenna that could pick up about 60 channels. I was so impressed that I decided to purchase a larger antenna in order to receive even more signals. That's when I decided to purchase this stunning piece. It's made reasonably well. br>br> Like most other antennas, it's made up of a bunch of nice aluminum. My goal was to stow it away in the attic to replace my flimsy. br>br>It took 5 minutes to put it together, and another 5 minutes to mount it in the attic. Easy! Just be careful not to drop the pipe mount clamp on your toe while putting it together. Ouch. br>br>At the end of the day, I get slightly better reception, but the flimsy plastic sheet antenna was certainly comparable. I'll play with this thing a little more next time I'm in the attic, but after my first attempt at pointing it, I've decided that the attic- An antenna that is mounted on a flimsy pole can be quite effective.

You've come to the right place if you're looking for an over-the-air antenna. It took me less than 5 minutes to put it together. I bought four of these antennas because I was so pleased with them. Customer service is excellent, and they helped me find my local ota towers by pointing me in the right direction. There were 78 channels that I was able to pick up. My grandmother's house is where it is now. I have one at home and have recommended and installed it for my friends as well. The length of time it takes to install a product is dependent on the application. I used a cekay antenna mast pole for a family and friend application. This small unit comes highly recommended.

Everything was sealed and the product arrived in good condition. The metal open cable part had a plastic cover to prevent the exposed wire from bending, and the rest of the required assembly parts were neatly packed in a sealed plastic bag, indicating good craftsmanship and forethought from the manufacturer. A link to a website explaining how to set it up was included in the box. It was simple and straightforward. The printed instructions were also easy to understand. I had a hard time getting the RODs to the red mark as instructed. I was concerned that I would bend or break the long aluminum rods. The key is to keep them firmly pressed against the hole. I attached (and sold separately PingDingBing Pre- the amplification I tested it without it in one of my rooms and it seems to work fine; however, because the house is pre-wired, I had no choice but to install it with a splitter. I have cable, and without it, I am unable to receive signal on all four TVs. I used an app to determine the best antenna installation direction, and now I have 52 channels. br>This is a good, low-cost, high-quality YAGI antenna that works.

I mounted it on a short swivel mast in my attic, and it gave me poor reception at first. I chose to run a direct line from my upstairs bedroom TV to the antenna (by drilling a small hole in the closet ceiling to the attic). I ran the coax through the rafters to the antenna using a cheap USB coaxial TV amp that I had leftover from a leaf antenna. For some reason, the coaxal is attached to the antenna's front. br>To get a precise point to the transmitters in my area, I used the Antenna Point app for Android and placed my phone on the main trunk of the antenna. br>br>With sub channels, I can now easily get over 60 channels. Even some previously difficult-to-tune channels are now available. When I combine this with a Roku smart TV, I have access to a plethora of free content. This small investment has proven to be a great success.
