Description
Televes 108381 8-Bay BOSS MIX High-VHF/UHF TV Antenna
Best For
Homes and professional OTA installations that need high-gain reception of high-VHF and UHF television signals, including locations where desired broadcast towers are not all in the same direction.
Why Choose the Televes 8-Bay BOSS MIX?
The 108381 uses two four-bay antenna panels with eight stacked dipoles and a BOSS/TForce mast amplifier that combines and automatically manages the high-VHF and UHF signals. One panel can be rotated, giving installers flexibility when receiving stations from different directions while delivering the combined signals on one coaxial output.
Key Benefits
- Receives high-VHF channels 7-13 and UHF channels 14-36
- Eight-bay double-panel antenna structure
- One rotatable panel for multi-direction reception scenarios
- BOSS/TForce amplification with automatic level management
- Independent VHF and UHF signal handling
- LTE/5G filtering
- Included UL-listed two-output power supply
- F-type connections
- Aluminum construction for outdoor use
Who Should Buy the 108381?
OTA viewers and installers in challenging reception areas who need high-VHF and UHF reception with built-in amplification and the flexibility to address stations arriving from different directions. Actual reception depends on terrain, obstructions, transmitter power, antenna height, aiming, and installation conditions.

Make sure bag with nuts and bolts are secure and closed!
by Darryl
I haven't put it together yet, but there are a lot of parts. The bag with all the nuts and bolts was open so lots of the small nuts was loose in the box, so I hope none was lost!
Best results we’ve received from an antenna
by Ann
It’s big, so be aware. But it is the best reception we’ve received using several types of over the air antennas. We’re about 60 miles (as the crows flies) south of Orlando and we get 77 stations. Very happy.
Great antenna but can be improved.
by Michael
This is a great antenna. I was able to pull in from two different towers with great reception. The only negative is that both antennas can’t be adjusted independently. You have the options for one or both antennas to be fixed. If you need to adjust the fixed antenna you will have to readjust the adjustable antenna as well. I attempted to purchase a second adjustable mount from the Televes store but never received a response to my inquiry. The inability to adjust the antennas independently from each other is the only reason I gave this antenna 4 stars. One last issue related to the instructions. They are a little vague at times.
Excellent Antenna
by Craig
This antenna works great! Well worth the money.
Finally an 8-bay with proper VHF reception, and an included preamp.
by Noah Jones
Best 8 bay antenna on the market. I had been trying to receive VHF with other 8 bay antennas, without success. The Televes has VHF elements and does a great job. The included preamplifier provides enough juice to feed our 6 TVs. Highly recommended
Got a channel I wasn't supposed to get
by Robert Pavese
I found the Televes 8 bay to be a good antenna, It really works well on the UHF spectrum but is marginal on the upper VHF spectrum. Unfortunately 4 of our major networks are in the upper VHF spectrum and I was forced to go back to using a Yagi antenna ( upper VHF and combining the signals. It did however pick up our Fox affiliate as well as a host of other channels located in the uhf spectrum. Fox was not suppose to be available in my location.
Sturdy built dual panel
by Jay Pietens
Fantastic antenna. Great UHF and VHF reception, and great build quality as well. The preamp seems to do a great job feeding all the TVs in the house.
