Description
Winegard HD8200U Platinum Series Outdoor TV Antenna
Best For
Rural and suburban homes that need long-range reception across low-VHF, high-VHF, and UHF television bands, especially where broadcast towers are farther away or signals are weakened by terrain and trees.
Why Choose the Winegard HD8200U?
The HD8200U is a large directional outdoor antenna built for full-band over-the-air television reception. It receives low-VHF channels 2-6, high-VHF channels 7-13, and UHF channels 14-36, making it useful in markets where important local stations are spread across multiple frequency bands. Winegard rates the antenna for long-range reception of 65+ miles, although actual reception depends on terrain, obstructions, tower power, installation height, and other local conditions.
Zinc-plated steel hardware provides corrosion resistance for outdoor installation, while the antenna's directional design helps focus reception toward broadcast towers.
Key Benefits
- Directional outdoor antenna for low-VHF, high-VHF, and UHF reception

Who Should Buy the HD8200U?
This antenna is intended for viewers who need a large, directional outdoor antenna capable of receiving television stations across both VHF bands and UHF. It is particularly useful when a smaller UHF-focused antenna may not adequately cover low-VHF or high-VHF stations in the local market.
Installation and Use
Aim the antenna toward the desired broadcast towers and run a channel scan on the connected TV or tuner after installation. Rescan periodically or when local channel assignments change. A mast shown in manufacturer imagery is sold separately, and coaxial cable is not included.

tv antenna

works great
Works Great
by Chuckie
Well, box came undamaged. Instructions were simple. Almost tripled my channels. So far so good. About the only antenna that works well out in the sticks.
Azimuth 360
by Robert
Good antenna, take your time putting it together, instructions are good, the only thing missing was one bolt and nut, but I was able to find another one in my shop. Used a telescopic pole and set antenna at 30', scanned channels and picked up 42 channels, readjust the azimuth using www.RabbitEars.com web site information and rescanned and picked up 74 channels.
Upgrade from cable
by steve Baran
Incredible ! Fabulous reception and my picture is now better than the cable was.
Happy Camper

Needed to replace a 10-15 year old tv antenna at my hunting camp in rural, central GA. Customer service helped me find the right antenna. Assembly took a few hours (I’m 70 yr old and slow) but instructions were easy to follow and assembly went without issue. I mounted the new antenna on the old pole, reattached the coaxial cable and rescanned the tv channels. The antenna performed as expected and as described by customer service. I am more than pleased with the entire experience start to finish. I am more than happy to recommend Solid Signal.
Clear Reception

Best outdoor antenna on the market
hope this one lasts 40 years
by new antenna
Just got it installed. Works as it should. It was a replacement for one just like it that was installed 40 years ago. Hope this one lasts that long.
Simply the best.
by Robert
My opinion, using Winegaurd products, quality has always been expected. Started using the original 1066 mod. in early 70's, lasted 34 years before being destroyed by fallin debris.I think the Winegaurd 8200 is the best antenna on the market. Not for the faint of heart installing. Bulky, Older generations need younger help when installing.

8200 good, but 7698 is better!!!!
by Harold Reyes
This 8200 is great for long distances, BUT too WIDE and BULKY while installing on a guyed tower. BEST to get the 7698P, which has narrow VHF elements and is pulled up EASILY to the top. IMPORTANT-- the 7698P WILL RECEIVE Ch.2-6 if they are in you're area!!!! The description by vendors IS DECEIVING. They trick you into thinking only 7- on up is the rule. NOT if 2-6 are broadcasting on your area!!! PLUS-- the Televes560383 AMP is the BEST!!! My Winegard AP8275 could not give me more than 50% signal strength on TV!! EVEN local stations!! But this TELEVES goes to the MAX on signal strength bars!!! AND pulls in any DEEPEST FRINGE ones, although temporarily, that Winegard could not!!!!
