GESOBYTE HD Digital TV Antenna with 200+ Mile Range - Amplified for Clear Reception

Jayanti: I am happy to say I am very pleased with my purchase of this antenna.

I purposely waited a few weeks to write a reivew and during that time, we experienced a hurricane which I will include how this product handled during the storm.

First, set-up was as easy as it comes. I don't know how it could be easier. I took it out of the box, unwrapped it, connected the cord to the appropriate port on the television as directed. After connecting the antenna, turned on the TV and followed the input processs for the TV and set-up was complete. Very simple indeed.

As for the number of channels, I was able to get 66 channels, most of which had quality shows including all of the local channels and network channels.

Now to the quality of the channels. The quality of the reception is very good, with little to none as far as static or interference.

I live in Florida, which as you probably know, recently experienced Hurricane Idalia. I was not in an area within the direct path (continued prayers for those who were) but in North Florida, where we received rain and strong winds. While the impact in my area was not a severe as others, my TV reception with the antenna...

donna marie: So Compared to the rabbit ears that I was using it gets most of the same channels. One or two different ones but not more. The big difference and this is a big deal, is that the reception is so much better. There is still some annoying interference once in awhile but It’s pretty rare. You just have to find that perfect spot. For me it’s behind a painting on the wall that faces the mountain with the local antenna on it. That just shows that it doesn’t necessarily have to be in a window.

AP from Wisconsin: If you don't have a window within 10-15' of your TV, don't even bother trying this. I originally placed this on top of a bookcase about 2' from a window thinking the height would help. I scanned and got 3 channels. Boo! I relocated the antenna to an East-facing window without much hope since all of our local TV stations are about 40 miles southwest of here. Rescanned and picked up 113 channels!! What??

This antenna also picks up something called "Live TV" which provides channels from all over the country. That makes up for the fact that I can't pick up a local NBC affiliate since there are national NBC affiliates on Live TV. Along with hundreds of other channels I've never heard of. The description doesn't say that anywhere, so thought it was worth mentioning.

Another thing not mentioned is that if you have an empty USB port on your TV, you can pause and rewind up to 90 minutes of live TV from any station. Very cool feature that also isn't mentioned anywhere.

PenroseTribar: Plug 'n' play set up. Works as intended. It was bought as a replacement for a plastic-encased indoor wall antenna which replaced one of the original leaf antennas. All of those worked fine, too.

We cut the cord back in 2010 and never looked back. Lots of streaming, some XBMC/Kodi, small RCA rooftop antenna was all we needed. The rooftop antennae power our main den tv and my office tv at the other end of the house. However, our upstairs master bedroom was tricky due to the roofline, so an indoor antenna was the answer. About every 5 years I buy a new indoor wall antenna. Each new iteration works better than the last.

Even as the tech gets better as do HD tv tuners, the fly in the ointment can be interference if you live in a city packed with cell towers and neighbors with powerful modems/routers + a gazillion connected devices. If these new gen indoor antennas still don't bring in clear, uninterrupted signals on some channels, try adding an LTE 4g/5g filter between your tv and indoor antenna. I've had to add one on each tv over the last couple of years to clear up signals our antennas used to bring in effortlessly. (Philips LTE Filter; $9 on Amazon).
