Winegard Platinum High VHF/UHF TV Antenna 60 Mile Range (HD7698P)

Have install over three hundred of this model. It is truly the best quality / performing antenna available. However Winegard made a huge mistake discontinuing the AP8275 pre Amp. I have had to use a Channel Master now that Does Not impedience match well, causing some missing channels.

Ok did lots and lots of research on buying antenna. Finally talked to the girls at SS and they recommended this antenna for my area. They nailed dead on . We live in a valley deep in the blue ridge mountains of NC. surrounded by tall mountains. The box arrived in prestine condition like it was hand delivered. Opened it up put it together in about 45 minuted everything complete no missing or broken parts. Didn't have time to install on the roof so we put it on the ground behind the house aimed it towards the towers and Bamm! 12 chennels right off the bat. perfect HD quality picture , one tower from over 50 miles away. Next day we installed on the roof, got the 3 foot tripod and 5 ft mast . everything is super solid and very neat and clean. I also ordered the pitch pads and 50 ft. cable. Could not be happier at all. Didn't need a ampliphier or rotor (although I would like a rotor just for giggles : ) Charter cable can Kiss MY A**. never going back. This antenna also looks awesome on the roof, 14 ft. of all USA aluminum standing proud. If you're in doubt which I was by this beautiful antenna. It works. Thanks Solid signal, Ashley and Sara for making it all come together.

On a home made 30ft 1 1/4" Rigid Conduit mast with a Radio Shack Pre Amp/Booster I'm getting all the channels I was told I wouldn't get!

We have a remote farm and the nearest TV channels are 61 miles away. We installed this new antenna with the new booster and this is the first time we were able to have 5 good local stations. It even rained and the picture never went away. Very happy

The HD 7698P antenna appears to be a but more robust than our previous long range VHF / UHF antennas. Since we don't need VHF low we appear to be set for 60 mile distance to our nearest CBS tower broadcasting VHF high. We do have to point the antenna via the rotor to acquire that station. We haven't had a chance to test it during weather conditions. The locking tabs for some of the elements should be improved or redesigned.

live 40--90--110--140 miles from towers this antenna pulls all but the 140 mile signal 100 % the 140 mile about 85 % best antenna have used -- go winegard !!

I purchased this antenna as a replacement for another three year old antenna which worked well but I needed a bit more signal pickup.This one looked good on paper so I thought Id give it a try.It arrived in just a few days well packed an in perfect condition. The antennas performance is excellent.I live between 40 and 70 miles from most of the TV transmitters far enough so that recepti

Works great I get all the available channels from counties away.

My stations are in two clusters around 30 and 60 miles away in a 34 degree spread. This antenna advertised a 40 degree spread so I pointed the antenna right in the middle. I receive all the channels I expected and the picture quality is much better than I had with cable. As others said the instructions could be a little better written but its not too complicated to figure out. Installation with

This antenna has super HD reception on 26 channels even with large oak trees all around it [...]. I had it installed 1 hour after arrival.
