About Channel Master CM-5020 Directional Outdoor TV Antenna 100 Mile Range Masterpiece Series
Overall Feedback:
75% positive
80% found it multi directional
I am getting all VHF/UHF channels without even using a preamplifier.
I am receiving Phoenix stations from the side of the antenna from South Mountain, approximately 20 miles away.
I used the RCA Tower finder app to point my antenna towards the stations I wanted to receive.
82% appreciated its compatibility with other TV models, although 18% didn't
I have found that this antenna works decently at both VHF and UHF, and I have compared it with larger antennas.
I mounted the CM antenna with a rotor and connected it to my TV through a CM DVR+Over the Air TV Digital Video Recorder.
80% found it weather resistant, but 20% encountered issues
I tested the antenna and it withstood 90 mph winds without any damage.
Our antenna has been up for a couple of months and has gone through some pretty good windy rain storms.
During strong wind, heavy rain and snow storms, the antenna reception is not affected.
When the wind speed reaches 5 miles per hour, the antenna elements start moving and cause signal loss on various channels.

77% were satisfied with the signal boosting power
I hope the new antenna and preamp will maintain channel 4 and PBS, as the old antenna kept dropping them at inopportune times.
I replaced my smaller roof top antenna with this one to get better signals in my fringe area. The new antenna works much better than the old one, with good directional gain.
I am able to receive all of the Philadelphia broadcast networks with a strong signal most of the time, even though I am 55 miles due north of Philadelphia. The TV-antenna receives good signal and I have a Channel Master high gain signal amplifier to boost the signal.
80% liked the signal strength, however 20% faced connectivity issues
I am getting all the Philadelphia broadcast networks with strong signal most of the time, indicating that my tv-antenna has good signal strength and provides clear and stable reception.
I am receiving Phoenix stations in the 75-100% signal strength range and Tucson stations in the 75-80% range, indicating good signal strength.
I replaced a 40 year old CM medium range antenna with the new long range CM-5020 and am now getting slightly less in quantity and quality.
80% were satisfied with the signal range, but 20% experienced dropouts
After putting up the antenna on a 25' pole, I was able to receive 25 stations.
I tested the antenna on the ground and received 16 stations.
I found that the Channel Master antenna can pick up stations 60 to 80 miles away, while another antenna couldn't.
PBS is only 7 miles away, but the rest of the station towers are 33 miles or further away.
