Ellipse Mix 148883 HDTV Antenna – Amplified High VHF/UHF OTA TV Antenna with Built-in TForce Preamp, Automatic Gain Control, FM/LTE/4G/5G Filtering, 75 mi Range - Made in Spain

I have this antenna installed in my attic (see photo). It allows me to receive, in perfect clarity, all the stations from the two major markets nearby (Hartford, CT and Springfield, MA). For a more complete and technical review of this antenna, go to The Antenna Man on YouTube. For assembly, Televes has videos available online. I suggest you watch them a few times to know what you will be doing. I found assembly to be very simple, with easy to follow instructions, especially after watching the video. Make sure the antenna will fit where you intend to place it, and assemble it nearby where you plan to install it. It can be a bit awkward to move around one you put it together. The powered amp / filter works great. Because my antennna is in the attic and my TVs are downstairs on the first floor and in the basement I have a longer cable run, and a split (100ft, then split to 25 feet and 50 feet). Due to the amplifier I have no issues with a strong signal reaching either TV. One TV has an ATSC 3.0 tuner and those stations are also crystal clear. The powered amp / filer has two OUT terminals, so I have another cable feeding an HDHomeRun (the Quad, with two ATSC 1.0 and two ATSC 3.0 tuners) that also receives a very strong signal. I now get over the air TV to any PC, phone, or tablet in the house from the Televes. I am very happy with this purchase. I think it will work exactly as expected for many years to come. If you are thinking about an antenna for your home, think very hard about this one. It is packed with excellent electronics and is of excellent build quality.

I needed a new attic antenna. I'm roughly 35 miles west of the Chicago transmitters. Fortunately, in this house, I have a direct shot through a vinyl sided gable, rather than through an asphalt shingled roof, like my previous situation. On the other hand, my attic space is very limited. Televes claims to use intelligent gain control in their pre-amp, which sounded good. What I liked: Sturdy build. Compact design while still supporting VHF-Hi. Built in pre-amp. Two outputs from the included pre-amp power supply. Completely toolless assembly. (I did need some tools to mount a short mast in the attic.) I found the assembly instructions to be quite clear. I was able to dismantle and re-assemble when I realized I didn't like how I ran the cable. What I didn't like: Nothing. :) O.K. The clamps that hold the reflectors are pretty tight, so it took strong fingers to pop them open again when I changed the cable routing, but that's about it. Performance: My previous installation was a mid-small Winegard VHF-Hi/UHF antenna with a low noise, ChannelMaster pre-amp feeding a ChannelMaster distribution amp. My current installation uses a 1-to-4 ChannelMaster distribution amp as well. The two installs are only 4 miles apart and both have a good line-of-site to the Chicago transmitters about 35 miles away. With the previous install, I detected just over 90 stations/sub-stations. I think 30 were watchable. With the new install, I detected 105 stations/sub-stations with about 95 watchable. Every major station, including the VHF-Hi, looked rock solid. The only issues were one minor off-axis station, and one low-power station. Summary: Its early days, but so far, I love this antenna and would highly recommend it.

This antenna performs very well. I live in Central Florida, around 40 miles from the main broadcast towers, and on my scan, received 113 channels, that was up from 85 with my old antenna. This antenna is designed to receive VHF Hi band (channels 7-13) and UHF (channels 14-35). It's confusing, but many TV stations say they are on one channel, but technically broadcast on another, so even if you have a CH 2-6 in your area, odds are it's really on a UHF channel. You can go to Rabbitears.info to see what channels are in your area, and what channel they are really on. Very few HD channels are actually on channels 2-6. This antenna has an amplifier which adjusts depending on how strong the local channels are, so it helps eliminate signal overload on your TV. I'm an engineer for two TV stations, so I'll give you an Antenna 101 class if you're interested after the antenna comparison. My previous antenna was an RCA outdoor antenna which worked very well. Below is a comparison of the signal strength on a TiVo with the antennas in the same location. Main Channels.

Some claim unreasonable reception distances, like 175 miles, I've even seen some claim over 900 miles. This is impossible. TV Signals only travel line of sight, so if you could stand on the top of a tall TV tower (1500-200 ft tall), what you can see, is where the signal can travel. The signals can not bend around the earth, so in flat terrain, the signals can travel 60-75 miles. Yes, a larger antenna can bring up weaker stations, but can't break the laws of physics. If you live on a high mountain, and have a clear view to a tower, you can receive signals further away. Again, line of sight. Even if you could receive several hundred miles, your antenna would receive at least two TV stations on every channel, and because it's digital, the data would conflict and you couldn't receive any channels at all. Another false claim is that the antenna is designed for HD, 4K, even some say 8K reception. First, up until just recently, there were no 4K TV stations. There are some now, but require a special Next GEN TV or Tuner (ATSC 3.0) All that said, the fact is, TV signals are the same no matter what format they broadcast in. Any antenna can receive any type of broadcast. A good reputable antenna company will give you correct information. This antenna rates 75 miles, and that's true.

This antenna works really well on all channels. We are pulling in stations from over 50 miles away. It is easy to put together and pretty sturdy. I was easy to mount to a 1 1/2 inch pole and pulls in good quality dtv channels. It is a pretty good price. I

très bonne antenne de tv je capte 40 postes ,, je demeure a 40 km de Montréal , très belle image avec cette antenne.

Fantastic antenna, solid quality build & great reception with included amp A+

Picks up all available channels in my area, best antenna I've had by far.

This antenna unbelievable , outperforms pulls in channels 90 miles away. Should have got 2 of them

Parfait pour notre usage.
