Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Let me just say we've had Dish Network (lost the signal a lot), Direct TV, AT&T Uverse, and Comcast Xfinity in our home. After the first of the year, when our cable bill came in at $167 mth I had enough. I shopped the deals from other providers and could not believe what they wanted for basic service (once you add in all the hidden costs). I came across a blog about HDTV antennas and got really excited at the thought of ditching cable for good. Time to get educated. This one seemed to fit our needs perfectly. It arrived in 3 days. It took me about 5 minutes to open the box and assemble the antenna. While I was doing that, my husband worked on taking down the Direct TV dish (mounted on a 6 ft pole in our backyard). We slipped the assembled antenna on the pole, screwed int he knobs, connected the coxial cable, fed it along the house to the junction box (same path the Direct TV wire took). Then I popped open the junction box and replaced the "IN" wire, with the antenna coxial wire. This was about another 5 minute process. Next I went in to my house, plugged in the power box, attached it to the TV, and turned on the TV, ran a channel search. Once that was complete, I used the power box remote to fine tune the digital signal, and ran another channel search. There are 27 stations in my area. I got all 27 with crystal clear reception. 19 of them are High Def. I could not believe the picture! Even with my $167 cable bill I did not get 1 single HD channel. Next I did the TV in the Master, and the kids rooms. Then closed the junction box. In 10 minutes I hooked up all 4 TVs and was finished. Entire set up time = 20 minutes Ease of project - simple * Tools needed - a phillips screwdriver Value for the $ - IMPRESSIVE 5 STARS Recommendations - before you order anything check the signals in your area [...] then walk around your house and look at your existing set up. Where does the cable come in to your home? Where is your junction box? How is it wired? Do you have high speed internet? Trace the wire paths so you have an idea of how it is set up. If this confuses you - do some research. There are tons of articles and youtube videos that teach you about coxial wires, splitters and how to set everything up. If you are lucky enough to already have it set up (like I did) then all you are doing is replacing your cable or satelite with the antenna. The hookup could not be easier.
