About Gesobyte Amplified HDTV Digital TV Antenna Long 250 Miles Range
Overall Feedback:
96% positive
88% found it multi-directional, nevertheless, 12% experienced signal loss
The antenna is pointed towards broadcast towers 11 miles away.
I recommend using Google Maps to find the nearest tower and positioning the antenna by a window, as high up as possible, facing towards it.
I invested in a multi-directional antenna and mounted it in my city home's attic. I pointed it in the recommended direction and got decent reception, better than the rabbit ears I used before.
I suggest that the window should face the direction of the broadcast tower.

89% appreciated its compatibility with other TV models, although 11% didn't
The antenna is compatible with the fire stick, which is a huge plus.
The antenna did not fit with my Samsung smart TV because the HDMI cable was different.
92% found it weather resistant, but 8% encountered issues
With previous antennas, I was lucky to pick up only 4 or 5 solid channels that wouldn't lose signal strength with the slightest change in wind or weather conditions.
The amp helps keep the signals on in all weather conditions like rain, snow, etc.
I can pick up some Milwaukee stations clearly with my antenna and in clear weather some Chicago stations, but the picture and audio from Chicago tends to drop out frequently.
94% were satisfied with the signal boosting power, yet 6% weren't
I was able to get a better/stronger signal for some of the weak stations and maybe picking up some additional stations.
After turning on the amplifier, I noticed that all but one channel went to 100% signal quality and all signal strengths varied from 97 - 100%. The amplifier is effective in boosting the signal strength and quality as without it, I was getting 90%+ signal quality and 80%+ signal strength.
I was able to run two TVs in different channels at the same time with excellent HD picture quality, despite not expecting a strong signal.
On the ground floor, I tried to use the antenna with an amplifier and by moving it around, but it didn't work. However, on the second level, I got a strong signal and awesome picture quality.

94% liked the signal strength
I have had better success with this product than any other I have tried, thanks to its 200 mile radius.
The signal strength is just as good as with the original antenna.
With previous antennas, I could only pick up 4 or 5 solid channels that wouldn't lose signal strength even with the slightest change in wind or weather conditions.
I have found that the signal strength of this antenna is better than my previous Terk, which died.

90% were satisfied with the signal range, but 10% experienced dropouts
I was able to get 53 to 61 broadcast channels including ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX, which satisfied my requirement for local news and sports.
I live in Sun City Arizona and the broadcast signal towers are about 30 miles away on top of South Mountain.
I have tried 2 or 3 indoor antennas in the past, but none of them could pick up signals from my tower which is 12 miles away.
The antenna is sensitive to objects blocking it and walking around the room may cause the signal to drop. It is recommended to mount it on a window or wall facing the broadcast towers for better performance.
