Outdoor TV Antenna, Amplified HDTV Digital Antenna, Dual Output TV Antenna, Motorized 360 Degree Rotation, Wireless Remote Control, 1080p 4K, 150 Miles Range with 40 ft coax Cable

The BoostWaves Outdoor Amplified Antenna came in record time as promised, and it was very simple to put together. We are using a pole attachment from a former Internet satellite dish, which has been unused for the past several years, and is right next to our current DISH Network satellite dish - as shown in the picture. Believe it or not, the rotation of the antenna doesn't interfere with the DISH Network. Our intent is to not get rid of DISH right away, but to maybe cut back to a cheaper package in the future. There's just a few DISH channels that we aren't ready to give up yet, and since we live in a rural area, we don't get a large selection of local channels otherwise. My husband attached the required size of pole to the rotation unit, and then placed that whole antenna set-up into the former Internet satellite dish bracket (as shown). There already was an unused coaxial cable strung around our house into the basement from a previous DISH Network dish location, which we plan to eventually utilize for the antenna. However, just to make sure the antenna worked OK, we at first attached the included white 75-foot coaxial cable directly to the antenna, brought it down from the roof and into our back porch. There we had a TV our college-age daughter had used in her dorm in a town 30 miles away from our home. Due to her dorm room's cable problem this past semester, she had a small indoor flat antenna attached to her TV for the entire semester and was able to get 15 or 20 channels. So, those channels were already programmed into the TV, three of which were based out of the same college town 30 miles away.. After attaching the other end of the coaxial cable into the rotation unit, attaching the other smaller white coaxial cable from the rotation unit to the back of the TV, plugging in both the TV and the unit, and powering both on. . .we instantly had most of the channels that were previously programmed into the TV. We didn't take the time to do a scan, but I'm sure we will get many more channels after we do. It appears that we may also be getting some additional channels from a larger metropolitan city which happens to be about 125 miles away from us. The antenna worked GREAT !! Some of the channels required the rotation, and it took a little while to determine when we needed to do so. I would push the remote or the button on the top of the unit, and my husband would watch as to whether it rotated. No problem there, and it cleared the DISH Network dish sufficiently. What became a little more complicated was the fact that I wanted to integrate the antenna channels into our DISH Network programming. I've had a smaller indoor antenna attached to a couple of our TVs for a year or two and I am tired of having the channels maybe come in, or not and also of having to switch a splitter button I've been using back and forth for cable / antenna. I researched on the DISH Network web site about what needs to be done to accomplish this integration. Our DISH receiver is a 722k. I don't intend to upgrade to a Hopper and am overall satisfied with the 722k we've had for several years. According to what I found online for a 722 DISH receiver, there was suppose to be a coaxial cable port on the left side of the back of our receiver, which according to the instructions seemed pretty straight forward. I looked at the back of our DISH receiver, and couldn't find any such thing. I called support for DISH and was told that they will have to have their guy come out and unscrew the back because the port is inside. With agreeing to the reinstating of the $8 per month DISH service plan for at least 6 months, the service call wouldn't cost the regular $99 fee. They even made an appointment for him to come out the next morning. When the DISH guy came out, he at first did his required reception checks, and determined that one of the three satellites DISH uses is receiving poor reception. We told him that we really hadn't noticed any problem, but as you can see from the picture, the trees were the problem - not from the BoostWave antenna being too close as you would think. As for the DISH Network dish, our only option was to move the DISH Network dish for a third time, to a pole out past the trees which would involve digging up our great lawn that has new underground sprinklers. So we declined that service and stated that we really didn't notice that much of a problem and would just put up with it for the time being. So, on to the question of how to connect the antenna to the back of the receiver. The DISH guy became just about as perplexed as I was about where that coaxial cable port was on the back of our DISH receiver. I even showed him what I had printed off of the DISH web site about it. He called his company's tech support and did as he was instructed, but no coaxial cable port was found inside the receiver either. After much consultation with support, it was finally determined that the 722k receiver we have doesn't have the port - only the plain 722 receiver does. Don't get me wrong, I am in no way unsatisfied about DISH Network, except that it is costly. We have been long, long time DISH Network customers, and they have been very accommodating all of these years. I'm not getting any compensation from DISH for being in support of them. As I said, there are a few DISH channels we just aren't ready to give up yet, but we also like several of the antenna channels. We won't be able to get a lot of channels through the antenna even with the 125-mile range due to our location, but we will get enough to make it worthwhile with some area local networks channels from towns not in our DISH Network locality, and with channels like MeMyTV, THIS, Comet, and Antenna TV, and the two other channels based out of that nearby town. I'd like to have the best of both worlds if possible. The DISH Network guy said that we could swap out our older 722k receiver for a brand new 722 regular receiver at no cost. When I am ready to do that, they will send it to me, and even walk me through attaching and programming the antenna if necessary. I don't foresee any problem with the intended set up. To make sure one last time that everything was in working order with the antenna, I also attached that same TV we used before to the actual coaxial cable that is strung around our house into the basement where the DISH receiver is, which will eventually be plugged into the DISH receiver. I again plugged both the TV and rotation monitor in, attached the coaxial cables, and turned them both on. We again instantly had the 15 to 20 channels that were already programmed into the TV, even without a scan. A few again needed to be "Rotated" to come in better, and but that worked out OK too. I'm actually anxious to get it all set up and integrated with DISH, and to scan it to see how many more cool, free channels we will get.

Other than not knowing which way it would rotate when you pushed the remote buttons, It was a really good antenna and picked up a lot of channels in my rural area where as other antennas would not pick up any channels... BUT..This was purchased on September 29th, 2016 and as of today July 28th, 2017 it HAS QUIT WORKING, IT WILL NO LONGER ROTATE OR PICK UP ANY CHANNELS...We could deal with the no longer rotating because we did not need to rotate it as we found the direction to point it to get all the channels and just left it there..BUT obviously the amplifier is broken also because it will not pick up any channels anymore...I am VERY UPSET because this is NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD! This SHOULD have a year warranty, I DON'T KNOW..I emailed the sellar Super Deal and am waiting for a reply from them... Maybe I just got a lemon...Like I said it was a Very good antenna till it stopped working and I would like and NEED a replacement amplifier box and ROTOR motor for this antenna...At the moment we have no tv and are NOT HAPPY AT ALL... UPDATE..I changed rating to 5 star because of the awesome customer service in replacing this antenna quickly & with no hassles. This antenna has a 1yr warranty and i received a new one quickly and IT WORKS AWESOME!! I live out in the country, in hilly terrain, far from tv stations and with this antenna i can receive ALL 11 available channels in my area. ABC< NBC< CBS< FOX< COMET< ION<PBS etc..:) I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THIS ANTENNA :( ...WITHOUT this antenna i can not get any channels :(

As a licensed Amateur Radio operator since 1954, I have some experience with vhf/uhf antennas. This replaced an old Terk amplified, and works better - with higher gain - at half the price. Plus it rotates. First, your 3 yr old Grandson probably could put it together w/o reading the instructions: 1. Screw the curved elements into the crossbar. 2. Insert the crossbar into the main body and secure with one screw 3. Secure the motor/rotator to the main body with 4 screws 4. Secure the mounting bracket to the motor/rotator. Done. 5 minutes. Mount the bracket to some kind of 1" post. I used a 8" length of 1" dowel rod inserted to a 12" square plywood base with a piece of 2x4 glued to it, and a 1" hole in that, drilled with a Forstner bit - then glued the dowel into the hole. Suspend from ceiling or simply place on a stand somewhere. It does come with a cable looks to be maybe 12-15 feet. Plenty for indoors. I say indoors - as overall the thing is flimsy with lots of plastic. Last forever indoors - outside, not very long. (Reason for 4 stars). It does rotate - but it has a mind of its own on what direction it will go. Best to have it where you can see it. Does it's job however - and a fair buy at $35 IMO.

Works great, Super high def and it even works far away from the towers. cristal clear 5.1 sound also. 30 minute setup with a 6' pole extra cost of 4.00 dollers on the highest point of your roof facing the towers and bam free TV. I live at the foothills of idellwile and the closest tower is 24 miles away it gives me 2/4/5/ local channels and some great oldes channels but well worth it for instance channel 2 cost 9.00 bucks a month so in 4 months it paid for it self and i do everything else via internet and sling. Im done with the huge TV mergers ect, my bill was 110 dollers a month for standerd tv through direct now ATT, with a crummy standered compressed picture, And now my bill is 60 bucks a month with internet and no contracts, with perfect picture everytime, High definition even in a lightning storm with pooring rain we just had. It never glitched not once,the view is more than worth its money, and if your close to mount baldy you can get all the local channels. EVERYTHING FREE. If you can't do it yourself than have some one do it for you it will pay for it self in one month and cut the cord forever and send a message to these over priced monopolized providers. My savings is 600 a year starting now. WE FINALLY HAVE GOOD OPTIONS! THANKS VIEW TV AND STREEMING TV! TOGETHER I GET EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN.

This is functioning better than a 50 mile flat HDTV antenna I purchased from Sam's for $59+. It doubled the amount of channels received over that flat panel wafer thin antenna . That is the positive. The negatives... The rotor motor that is attached to the underside of the antenna is plastic and attached with 4 screws through little plastic ears. Likewise the pole mount that then attaches to the bottom of the motor is also plastic. As is the electronics at the antenna, that is also housed in plastic. I don't expect the plastic to hold up to the sun more than a year or so. Cheaply constructed with multiple breakpoints in my opinion. Further there are issues with the pole mount that should be mounted on the top of a vertical mast using the two set screws in the antenna clamp. The problem is the mount is too small of a diameter to go over 1 inch EMT, and way loose for 3/4 inch EMT. Though the two "mount" knobs, with adjustable setting bolts. will clamp down securely on 3/4 inch. I don't know if they expect this to be mounted on plastic pipe or what? (I didn't order the one that is a few dollars more that contains an angle mount) I am adapting mine to a old satellite dish mount that was left behind, and the dish part has been removed. My thought is to turn my own adapter on a metal lathe? Or turn a plastic sleeve to fill the gap for use with 3/4 Inch EMT? Not everyone has the luxury of being able to fabricate something though. Additionally there is some play in the motor which means in the wind, the antenna swings back an forth slightly. That effects the picture and sound of channels that are on the fringe and otherwise come in fine. The remote did not come with batteries. I don't use it anyway. Once I found a strong signal I assume all broadcast signals are coming from the same direction in my case. Rotating to other directions gave worse results. Since I have signals all from one direction I may glue the motor to eliminate the back and forth wobble of the antenna during the wind. Over all, for the price, it is a decent buy. Hard to get any quality for something at this price. If that is what you expect (which I did) you should be OK with it.

Bought this August 2018, Installed it in September. It was made of cheap plastic and thin metal, but all it has to do is pick up signals. Assembly was not too bad, but the screws are very small. If this unit gets bumped the plastic will crack and break which happened to me. But it was easy to super glue it back together. I tested it on the ground and it worked well. Picked up quite a few channels table sitting on my patio table. I installed it on my roof mounting it to a mast. The 40 foot supplied cable was way too short to reach to my TV's . I can't imagine that the manufacturer really thinks that 40' is really adequate for an outdoor antenna which is designed to be pole mounted. I used RG6 Quadshield with weatherproof connectors. Worked well, picked up lots of channels. Then in March 2019 after I rotated the antenna, it stopped working. The red LED on the antenna which indicates its it amplifying went off. I lost most of the channels. It would no longer rotate. I knew it wasn't the coax connection because I was still receiving the strongest channels. (3 of the 4 big networks) After approximately 30 minutes on with customer service explaining that the amplifier went out, I still had power to the indoor unit, I had reset things, I had re-scanned, I didn't go on the roof to check the coax because I was still receiving the strong signals. She finally placed me on a second hold and then stated that the problem was I used RG6 instead of the RG59 that came with the package. I asked her why using a better quality coaxial cable would make their unit fail. She replied that it what their engineers stated that the [inferior] RG59 was tested with their unit and I should swap out for the inferior cable. Here is my complaint. I have an amateur extra ham radio license, so antennas and coax are not new to me, and for the life of me I can't understand why using a better quality coax 'caused' my problem. RG6 has a larger center conductor, it has much better shielding and insulation and at UHF frequencies need to receive RG6 has 4.dB loss per 100ft at 400 MHz than RG59 which as 7.0dB loss per 100 ft at 400 MHz.. I may be way off, but if the "engineers" are saying this unit will fail if you use anything other than their inferior included RG59, I suggest you look for another manufacturer.

Bought this to cut the cable cord. It took some convincing but it has paid off (saving $100.00 a month). Put it on a secondary tv on a covered porch. Works Perfect!!! No issues 27 channels!!! Live 35 miles South of St. Louis MO....wind, rain no problem...but as stated is in a bit of a protected area. Antenna # 2...is on the Main tv... (football, baseball, basketball, cable channels) This one replaced an old school antenna that was here for 30 yrs...attached it to existing pole....had to do some tweeking but....27 channels!!!! It has held up to 2 SERIOUS storms ...high winds (one storm a tornado touched down 10 miles away) rain and hail. (the hail scared me...because it is plastic and aluminum. Turned the tv on the next day....used the remote to turn it a bit all channels clear!!!! We still have some cable channels we stream from playstation vue (we dont have a playstation, we have Amazon fire to stream thru...we remember getting up to change the channel and moving rabbit ears...so it's not hard to get used to) There are other streaming platforms like sling which we did a free trial but playstaton vue worked better for us. You want to save $$$ this is the way to start. It does have a slot for another tv but where ours are...it would involve running cables in the attic drilling holes in the ceiling and that is to permanent for my household because we move things around too so that is why we bought 2. First one was put in action in July 2016...2nd January 2017......did I mention it was a process? :) (we did use the 30yr old antenna for about 4 months...but it wasn't working well enough...frustrating..so that is why we decided to purchase the 2nd one...and to keep saving $$$

Great antenna. Purchased a cheaper one from a discount store that was the same style and was supposed to perform similarly. They did not. The cheaper one had a very thin coax cable which I think allowed in a lot of interference. This model has a proper coax and is shielded very well. This model also has a standard screw type coax connection on the antenna housing itself, whereas the other antenna, the coax was soldered inside the housing. With the ViewTV antenna, if my coax ever goes bad, I can simply unscrew the old coax and replace it - a very nice feature. This antenna pulls in many more stations than our old original outdoor antenna that looked like a huge Sputnik - you know the style. The box that controls the rotation is a very nice feature as well, and comes with a remote. The remote has two buttons on it, but as far as we can tell, they both do the exact same thing. Which leads me into the only (minor) con of this product. When you push any button on the remote or push the button on the box to rotate the antenna, it begins rotating. When you release the button it stops. However, when you push the button again, it starts rotating the opposite way. This led to much frustration the first night getting it set up. We were rotating the antenna and almost had a channel dialed in, so we stopped the rotating. We needed just a little more, so we pushed the button for just a second, and completely lost the channel. This is because the antenna was now rotating away from the source instead of towards it. Many many back and forth attempts later, I decided to go stand in the yard and immediately saw what the problem was. The remote is very misleading with the two buttons. It would seem that one button rotates it clockwise, and one counterclockwise. This is not the case. Both buttons function just as the single button on the box does. They rotate until you release, then rotate the opposite way when you press them again. We always point our antenna to where we get the most channels the best, and just leave it alone. The antenna works great for this. If you have to constantly rotate your antenna to pull in different channels, this unit may be a little more aggravation than it’s worth for you. Overall, still a five-star antenna, especially for the price. Just be aware of the manner in which it rotates and maybe you’ll have less of a headache getting everything dialed in than I did.

I purchased this antenna for my parents who were replacing an antenna. It was advertised as having a 150mile range so I had high hopes that it would pick up a stronger signal than their old antenna but it didn’t. In fact we got more than we bargained for. When the antenna arrived the instructions were vague but it was easy enough to figure out how it went together. When climbing up onto the roof I found it needs quite a narrow pole to mount it to any standard antenna pole. After installing it we found it to be no stronger than the previous antenna and that the rotor that moves the antenna did not function. I went back up to the roof and my aging parents were helping hand tools up to me. My mother handed my 10 month old son to my father and climbed up a couple of steps of the ladder to hand me some zip ties. When she stepped off she slipped and fell hitting her head off of the wood gate and breaking her arm. I very large gaping laceration and bone sticking out of her arm told me right away it was broken. My father yelled to me “emergency!” I flew down the ladder and to my mothers aid. She was sobbing saying “what if the baby was still in my arms?” I helped her up and sat her down in a chair, my son and father crying and terrified. I wrapped her arm and put it into a sling and assessed her for further injury. She was rushed to the emergency room for cat scans and xrays. A cast and 38 stitches later she was released. I only pray my son is not emotionally scarred as much as my mothers arm. All this because of this poorly constructed tv antenna that promised my parents so much but did not deliver. For this reason I returned the antenna and do not recommend it or these types of problems can happen.

Exceeded my expectations at my locations. Got all the HDTV channels in my area. My only complaint like others is the remote to rotate it. Left and right is not what you think. Need to update. Motor does not hold position in high winds and remote is useless as you don't know which direction it;s turning. I ended up locking the motor in one position. Reception is fine though.

This unit was easy to assemble and works very well.... I have this installed on a 10 ft. pole right now waiting for the spring time to come so I can put it up properly on a mast upon my roof of the house.... It is pulling in the stations just fine pointing in the direction it is and the rotary function works amazingly well.... I have tried other indoor style antennae but they never worked as well as this one does... Nice unit for the price..... I will now add the second TV to the second coax output and enjoy the over the air free TV in my area.

Right away I was happy that the antenna was very quick to assemble and the completed unit is light and seems sturdy enough. I also liked it was fairly small...it was missing the clips that are supposed to clamp the wire down (25pcs I think it was supposed to be but none were included). I live in London, Ontario, which was at one time the tenth largest city in the country and a test market for many goods and services but we have fallen way behind and now can't even get the signal OTA for our national broadcaster to reach us. I was getting 4 channels reliably with an non amplified antenna in the attic. We are about 125 miles from Toronto, Buffalo, Detroit etc. so I was hoping to be able to reach one of those. It is way to winter here at the moment to install it properly outside so it is in the attic now as well. Right away I was able to strongly get City coming out of Woodstock, Global coming out of Paris (85Km away) and CHCH coming from Alvinston on top of the 2 OMNI channels, Yes TV, TVO Kids and the local channel I was already getting. I have hope that getting it up another 10 feet and being outdoors will help it get those extra miles but honestly for the price I think would be happy enough if that was all we got even though I was really putting the purchase on being able to reach those markets. As a side note, I don't know how but the item arrived 14 hours after I clicked "accept" to send the payment. Ordered at 7pm, arrived at 9am the next day!

I have this unit mounted on a 10 foot pole on top of my roof, which is 20 feet off the ground, for 30 foot elevation. Even then, in an area where I can potentially bring in 16 channels, this unit is only bringing in 4. This may well not be the fault of the antenna, but an issue with tall buildings around my home shadowing my signal. Because this is my first outdoor TV antenna, I cannot judge. The four channels it does bring in are clear, and sharp, with a strong signal. I instead am basing my review on the build construction, which is very light and flimsy feeling, and the remote rotation feature this unit comes with. Though you can (in theory) realign the antenna from the comfort of your living room, using a built in control that utilizes the signal cable to send the rotation signal and power to the antenna on the roof, in reality there is no way to tell which way the antenna is rotating from inside your home, or even in which direction the antenna is pointing. I would have scored this unit higher if it had some kind of indoor indicator as to which way the antenna was pointing. Next time I will spend the extra money to purchase an omni-directional antenna, and save myself the trouble. On the plus side, good picture and good sound.
