Televes DATBOSS LR Long-Range Amplified UHF TV Antenna LTE Filter (149783)

Antenna is well made, easy to assemble. Delivery was quick. I live in a fringe area of the Twin Cities with several trees in the path. The additional gain including the pre-amp made all the difference.

Quite easy to assemble if you look at both the grayscale directions AND the picture on the box. We are in a very tough location with hiss, trees, and 30-70 miles from any antenna. Even with just a single chain link top rail bungeed to a fence and some trees nearby I get almost 20 at 70% signal! lWith 2 pieces and better clearance we get 30 plus stations. Quite tough, doesn’t bend if you breathe on then like the cheap yagi type.

I'm at least sixty mile from UHF braodcasters , with tall tree coverage Around my house and two ridge lines between me and transmitting towers. I expected to receive about 12 channels. I got 22, and another 5 when I connected the booster. Very satisfied.

Great antenna. Not "easy" to assemble, took a while but appears worth it. Had to buy a telescopic mast elsewhere though, too expensive here.

Works great 70 miles.fromtv station we like to watch

Purchased this to help acquire three different UHF channels that I was having trouble picking up with my 91XG. Transmitters are approximately 70 miles away and somewhat blocked by terrain, and generally the 91XG would pick up two channels at night, while the other one channel would only come in on very clear nights. It didn't acquire the one channel I was hoping to receive with better regularity, but I did get better reception on the other two channels during the day enough to receive a stable picture with some drop out depending on the weather. I don't have a rotor on the setup yet so it is in a fixed direction but may add one later. Impressed by the sturdy construction of the antenna compared to some others I've had in the past.

The market is now full of knock offs but none can come close the Televes antennas that started it all. This antenna is built of heavy gauge durable materials to last for many years and it's preamp provides enough signal to run every tv in the house. The Televes triple boom design produces the maximum gain, beamwidth, and bandwidth possible in an antenna that size. I admit i was a skeptical until i tested one against our reference standard UHF antennas on our far field antenna test range, but it actually delivered better UHF performance than larger industry standard corner reflector yagi designs.

Antenna arrived quickly. Assembly instructions were 22 steps in photos. I watched the videos ahead of time and they helped. Took about 35 minutes. Overall impressions----sturdy, well made, not too massive. I installed it on top of a 15 ft mast on roof---chimney attachment and guy wires. Ran 50 ft coax inside to included amp/ 2 tv distribute box. I am in a difficult geographic location 45-50 miles from KC MO stations. Looks like all signals from 43 channels are pegged at max. No more pixellations so far. Gonna watch the Olympics clearly and on FREE TV. In a good location this antenna should pick up from 70 miles I would think.

I checked out a lot of reviews prior to finally deciding on the Televes antenna. The one that I selected is UHF only however I would definitely suggest checking your area to see if VHF is required. I'm able to pickup 81 channels in the KC area. I found the Solid Signal tutorial on YouTube for great step by step instructions on assembly.

This antenna was installed 69 miles north of the New Orleans transmitters. I do have some channels drop out for a short time in heavy rain. The elevation of the antenna site is 290' ASL, compared to a transmitter SL of Zero, and a 1000 ft tower. I think I have line of site to the transmitters. The built in amplifier works well. The antenna is well made. I don't think I can find an antenna that will work any better. Excellent Value.
