DuffmasterJDuffmasterJ: As others stated, I used the photos to help me assemble. All the hardware was very adequete and everything was contained in the plastic bags. This was for an airplane hangar, basically a metal shed, and though the antenna was placed high inside and pointed correctly, reception was poor. THEN, when placed outside, San Diego CA, 7 miles from one tower and 13 miles from another, the channels just poured in, and the key network channels were crisp and clear. Aiming wasn't as critical as I thought, and ultimately I aligned it pointing at one tower, with the other tower coincidentally being directly behind it. I think it will last many years outside, and probably the plastic point of co-axial connection, and the plastic panels holding the center rods will be the first to fail. All in all, I'm happy with the value and the performance.

Michelle Barrick: This antenna was small enough to fit in the eves of my roof. And it is very light-weight. I'm 68 years old and I was able to install this myself, keeping in mind that I'm in good shape and can use a drill. :-) The instructions could have been written better but I was able to work through them. This antenna allowed me to pick up local channels after I got rid of my cable TV.

Albuquerque Annie: After you get it assembled, it is a great antenna with wonderful reception. I will caution that I am very mechanically minded but it took quite a while to assemble the antenna. It came in pieces and I found that the assembly instructions were lacking detail and illustrations. I finally pulled the picture of the antenna up on my iPad and enlarged it as much as I could to finish assembling the antenna. I think those not mechanically minded would have great difficulty putting it together to the point they might return the product. Please keep that in mind when ordering.

I am quite pleased with the reception. In fact, the antenna works so well and is small enough that I have not installed it outside as yet. It is currently hidden in the corner behind my TV in a fake palm tree. It may not have to go outside on my balcony.

JD: London Ont.
Done a few DIY TV Antenna but was never satisfied with signal strength tried flat one's but nothing work so took a chance on this one a all I can say is amazing getting 5 channels CTV2, TVO, YES, OMNI1 n 2 with only 8.5 feet off the ground all solid, weather does have an impact of on some channel but signal is 80 to 100 on most channels, I installed mine under the eavestrough to protect from harsh Canadian winter as I don't think it would stand it if in the open but for me I'm satisfied. You can pickup CITY 31.1 by rotating the antenna but lose 3 channels unless you have clear view of east and west TV towers.

Very easy to assemble recomended, check TVFOOL.com from your location for better reception.

Bryan: This review is for the UltraPro outdoor passive design model. I live in northern New Jersey and installed this antenna on the side of my house about 15 feet above the ground. (No more roof climbing for me.) I am using a basic amplifier and 2-way splitter to feed two TVs and the main channels get 100% with only occasional dropouts. I also get more usable channels than I ever had before with any kind of antenna.

Results are great from VHF-Hi (physical channels 7 - 11) through UHF. VHF-Lo (physical channels 2 - 6) may be received adequately if the signal is strong, but your results may vary.

This unit is well made and easy to assemble. I am very pleased with the results for such a modest price. Should I decide to cut the cable cord eventually, I’m sure this antenna could run all of my TVs with additional amplification.

It’s all about the signal strength in your area, but this antenna is worth a try.

Juan Jersain Gonzalez Mendoza: La antena funciona bastante bine a pesar de que en nuestrazona geografica las antenas repetidoras se encuentra al rededor y no en una sola dirección así como se encuentra en un semi sotano en donde habiamos probado varios antenas sin obtener resultados

Macy: We cut the cable cord a few years ago and have had a small antenna on the living room t.v. that picks up about 10 channels pretty regularly and wanted one for a bedroom t.v. I saw this at Target but came to Amazon for the reviews. It seem well reviewed and the price was $10 less than the Target one I was looking at in the store so I ordered it from Amazon. This antenna arrived on time and well packaged and so we set it up, but there was no way to keep the two "antenna" parts in the base. So we rested it on top of the t.v. and ran the scan. I picked up about five channels. Fine it would work for this tv that we barely watch. Then we were doing construction near the living room antenna and it was broken, so I thought we would use this in it's place. I moved it to the living room location and ran the scan. It picked up about five channels all but one was very scrambled. So husband went out and bought a Leaf version antenna. We set it up in the same location and it picked up about 12 channels all more clear than our original living room antenna. So this is going back to the bedroom t.v. But I recommend highly the Leaf. It is less clunky and picks up more channels...
