In this video I review the following antenna: "Digital HDTV Antenna - Includes Magnetic Base and Coaxial Cable - 50 Mile Range - Indoor or Outdoor." It costs less than $20 on Amazon and claims a 50 mile range. How well does it actually work?

I got this antenna about 7 years ago. It's a portable antenna, that needs an amplifier. It's good for emergency.

@JonathanMcKey 2 года назад

Exactly. On my portable TV that the antenna came with, you need to go into the settings and turn on the 12v antenna power in order to receive just about anything, only the 1 analog station in my area could get a half decent picture with it turned off. And to no surprise, the thing broke last year so thank god it came with an adaptor to make it hook up to F type coax cables.

Those of us who are apartment dwellers anticipate these indoor antenna reviews-currently using an old RCA rabbit ear loop antenna (with a distribution amp for my room and the HD Homerun). Am about 10 to 12 miles from towers and it works pretty well but always interested in better equipment.

@Jaybroney 2 года назад

i’m excited to see your indoor antenna test series, to see if any of these coming up might work at our place. This one I don’t think would because we once had a flat antenna I had gotten from Amazon and it didn’t do very well. So I would expect about the same with this one. Just for your information, I just found out thatATSC3.0 just launched here in the greater Flint Michigan area with all five major network stations that was supposed to be carrying that and the old standard as of today. I do plan at some point to get a tuner to see how well our sky blue eight bay outdoor antenna works with it because we actually have that unit pointed towards Detroit, so we would actually I think be able to receive the Flint and Detroit new TV standard. Thought you may want to pass it on to other viewers living in our neck of the woods. Great video and excellent information as usual.

"A few feet can..." shoot i had a situation where the difference between picture and no picture was .1 inches. Granted the signal margin was calculated at -3dB. I seriously had my compass out trying to plot out the exact angle needed so the reflectors were orthongangol to the broadcast tower. That was a tough signal to get, but so glad I spent the time to get it. Turned out to be a reliable signal since I had an antenna dedicated to that one signal. I had anther general antenna for all the other UHF signals with tuned filters to avoid the two antennas from producing wave forms that would cancel each other out. I then had a VHF hi antenna and a VHF lo antenna for FM signals. The FM antenna had an anti FM trap filter, theres a real term for it just cant remember at the moment, so it wouldn't create harmonics over the other 3 antennas. So yes I had 3 pre-amplifiers for a 4 antenna setup with a powered distribution splitter. Just so I could have something to watch from time to time in college.

Great Channel, I picked up the same antenna that has a usb plug for 25dbi boost, my plan was to plug it into an RF modulator to send out a signal to some vintage TV’s…. I can’t get a signal out of this antenna. Are there limitations on this antenna if you want to send out a signal?

Hello there Tyler, I'm from the Philippines about this Magnetic Indoor Antenna, it is also use as an Outdoor Antenna for both DTV and digital boxes. just put it on the roof (be sure it was made of steel because of the antenna has a magnetic base) and it works not just getting a better signal also adding more digital channels since transmitting towers of most broadcast networks including GMA, TV5, GTV and A2Z are located either Quezon City in Metro Manila or Antipolo in Rizal. this was based on my experience since I bought a digital box in 2018. note: Television Broadcast in the Philippines is currently using ISDB-T (Intergrated Services Digital Broadcasting - Terrestrial) which is now use in Japan and Latin American countries including Brazil

I know I brought this up before, but I moved to a new house, and tried the NASCAR issue with FOX25 (Boston), where I believe they are dropping the signal on big events to try and get people to pay for TV, you know those transmission fees, right? Comes to find out IT'S REPEATABLE HERE TOO! On any other day, FOX 25 comes in at about 77%, yet NASCAR Sunday, mid 30s, and dropping out to unwatchable status. While the performance here is better, it still proves they are messing with the signal. Two different locations, same BS. No coincidence here.

@kenenglish124 2 года назад

The signal strength indicator on most TV's and tuners doesn't really show the power of the signal. It shows the inverse of how hard the correction circuit is working. It's more likely that Sunday is a popular day for your neighbors to be home, operating interference-creating gadgets.

Tyler, have you tried the FLATenna+ from Channel Master? If you haven't reviewed that one I would like to see you review it. I know your opinion on flat antennas (and I share the same opinion). But Channel Master is a good brand, maybe it's better? "The FLATenna is already regarded as one of the best performing indoor TV antennas on the market. The FLATenna+ will increase signal strength providing increased channel reception and reducing issues with channels having poor signal quality. The included amplifier (MicroAmp) has been fine-tuned for optimal performance when used with the FLATenna." Copied and pasted directly from their website. Let me know what you think. It claims a 50 mile range.

Some of the antennas you present like the one you have there are so ridiculous that I would be really curious to know how it would measure with a network analyzer. Then you would be able to see exactly what the designer may have be thinking or is it just total BS. Do you have a nanoVNA or other piece of test equipment that you could use to show the viewers what is really going on with each antenna? Maybe it would be worth stepping up your game instead of just reporting the empirical results. Might also be possible to determine lobe shape and approx. gain for the somewhat directional antennas. Anyway, with the tiny little stub antenna you have there, I wonder if any impedance matching at all would have been done.

Seem's there was no mention of Polarity, concerning this magnetic mount which appears to be, " Vertical " , opposite of the Polarity transmitted by Television stations ! Hint for those that use old fashioned, " Rabbit Ear " antenna's : The length of the telescoping pieces are critical to the wavelength, ( Frequency/Channel ), being received ! Remember the Higher the frequency of interest, the shorter the antenna length ! Likely more critical in areas on the fringe, as opposed to homes saturated by strong signal's, due to proximity ! Many thing's come into play trying to receive these channels. Even signal's that may be reflected off building's, Water Tower's, etc. ! Experimentation is the rule here, more than not, especially using indoor antennas ! Don't be afraid to move the antenna around, even setting on the floor, sometime's will bring signal's that aren't seen with an antenna setting higher ! So many things can add or subtract to your success ! Weather, Propagation characteristics etc. ! All that can be studied on various internet site's, for those a little more Nerdy ! Hope this helped someone ! 👍😉

If you ran coax to the outside the cable loss would overcome what little signal it would receive-if any) "Impedance: 50 Ohm"(mismatch impedance-consequent signal loss - should be 75 Ohm for ANY television receiver) "Supports 1080P and 4K"(has nothing to do with an antenna-impresses the potential buyer though) "Stay connected with the latest in TV technology"(Oh WOW! - Really? Latest in TV Technology?) Hey, but would I know? Only been a Broadcast Engineer for 37 years. But if it makes you happy, go ahead and buy the stupid thing. "Gosh...it looks so 'Sophisticated' and 'Unique' ! "Honey, we just have to (waste our money) buy this thing!" (Tyler WARNED YOU ALSO !)

This antenna is weak at best... I've detached the part from base and now use it on my truck for radio reception, works great for that.
