Xtreme Signal 70 Mile VHF/UHF Yagi Outdoor TV Antenna (HDB91X)

My Name Is Mark In Savannah, Georgia. With My HDB91X With A Radio Shack Amp I Get Channels From Jacksonville,Fla./Charelston,SC. Myrtle Beach/Columbia/Orlando/Albany,Georgia/Augusta,Ga./Atlanta,Ga.. With My MXU47Antenna With The Same Amp I Could Not Get Albany.Ga/WFXG 54 Augusta/Atlanta,Ga.

I had the 8 bay antenna come down in high winds but had previously purchased and received this Yagi. It went together easily (the video was a big help) and is up about 35 feet. I receive the same 33 channels as had come in with the 8 bay, but the signal strength on all the channels is noticeably more solid with this Yagi. Very impressed!

More then worth $40 for this antenna, it is Amazing. I am running high quality CE- RG6 cable to it and live a block from Lake Michigan in Milwaukee and can easily pick up (in both clear and rainy weather) the majority of Chicago stations at 80, face it NE and pick up GB channels, turn it East to the lake and pick up Grand Rapids, Muskegon and Kalamazoo, face it West and pick up some Madison stations, including all my channels here in MKE. This is a GREAT Buy and GREAT Antenna! Highly recommend it!! Can easily pick up well over 100 channels with this antenna.

Works wonderfully. Stations 90 miles away on the front and 20 miles away on the back for a total of 48 clear stable station reception.

I am located along the Coosa River about 58 miles from Birmingham (south) and 58 miles from Montgomery (north). I put this unit about 20ft on my cabin and I pick up 40+- channels from both directions most of the time. No amp needed with this high gain. Recommend for sure!

I was previously using a Winegard 7698 with amp and only occasionally picked up signals over 35 miles away. I purchased this installed it without an amp and receive WJKT 54 miles away crystal clear. This antenna has amazing gain but remember it's very directional so the slightest movement can change your results. If you don't know your station's coordinates be sure to research them before attempting to focus this unit. If you live in a fringe area this antenna will get the job done. One final note is to remember it's UHF so if you're also wanting to pick up stations on the VHF band you'll need to pair this with a good quality VHF antenna. Height is also a huge factor in most applications, I have mine mounted on a mast at 43', @ 30' results were diminished considerably. So to sum up, if you're looking for a strong antenna with longer range this one is a strong performer. Thank you Solid Signal !

easy to assemble

First off, let me be the first to say, my results are probably quite atypical. We moved into this house 5 year ago. The previous owners only had DirectTV, so I bought a pair of amplified rabbit ears, until I could get around to mounting a proper antenna. One night I did a scan and picked up Kansas City stations, 100+ mile away! I suspected I just got lucky with some well placed ionic skip, but my wife was fascinated with possibility of expanding from getting 5 local stations to 12. My wife didn't want another giant antenna, like we had at our last house. I purchased a Winegard Metrostar (from Solid Signal) and it has served us very well. Another recent scan and Kansas City stations showed up again. My interested was peaked, wondering if I really could pull KC stations in reliably, with a proper antenna? Taking a look at tvfool.com, all the KC station are UHF. The HDB91X was on sale, and it is much smaller than a comparable VHF/UHF antenna, so I decided to take a chance. I swapped out my Metrostar with the HDB91X. The unit is easy enough to put together, but I recommend getting and looking at the online installation guild. The dipole positioning is hard to see on the included instruction sheet. After zooming in, on the PDF, the 'bow tie' faces the back. The mounting U bracket is a little different than in manual, but that was easy to work out. I hooked it up, did a scan and I now have 55 channels (including sub channels)! I had ordered the Blonder Tongue (ABLE U2 III) UHF pre-amplifier but it is a 300 ohm unit, and this antenna has a 75 ohm coax connector. My success is without preamp, but I intend to have a preamp to mitigate line loss. Unless there are severe storms between here and KC, the channels are coming in fairly consistently day and night. I was concerned about the two VHF local channels, but they are strong enough to buffalo it through the antenna, without having to have a second VHF antenna and combining the two. What really surprised me, was picking up a Springfield channel, on a side lobe. Not yet sure how reliable the signal will be, but it was fun seeing it. When the weather gets better - it has been raining since I installed it - I want to point it to Springfield, St Louis, and Quincy IL to see how may more channels I can pick up. Being 200 feet higher, than the surround terrain, plus 35 feet up on the house, really helps. However my success wouldn't be possible, to pull in such distant channels, so reliably, without the HDB91X.

Have now had this antenna for little over a year now and it has not missed a beat.One note I wanted to make about Vhf reception. I have 1 vhf station in my area and I noticed that I pick it up stronger on the back side of this antenna. Why I don't know. So I added a rotor and an Lna-200 wingard boost preamp and with this combination I get every station that I was expecting to receive from all directions.And when the conditions are right you will pickup stations from 100-150 miles away. I think this antenna is about as good as it gets..

I purchased and installed the Xtreme Signal HDTV Yagi Outdoor TV Antenna 70 Mile VHF/UHF (HDB91X) on my roof last summer. I live in a heavily wooded area and, in spring and summer, distant UHF stations were impossible to receive. Now reception is clear and strong year round even on a UHF station about 50 miles away on Long Island. I am very pleased with this product.
