I know this is a late comment, but just saw your vid. Just FYI, the little box you showed that goes in the house is the power supply for the amplifier. The 5G filter and amplifier are built inside the antenna housing where the driven elements are located, and are directly attached to the amplifier, which automatically adjusts its gain depending on the signal strength you are getting. Hope its working well. I have the same antenna mounted on a 65' tower, and it works great.
Antenna on the ground showing is an ANTENNACRAFT Radioshack Special A VU-90 & Not a ChannelMaster. As Antennacraft used BLUE plastic didnt use spacers between phase lines
that's a fantastic antenna. I ran one for a while in my attic. space was kinda cramped and I was struggling to figure out how to pull in all the 4 majors in my area, so I ended up selling it. Now that I have figured everything out, I wish I still had it, although I'm confident the smaller Ellipse would work very well. Televes is a Spanish company, and a very good one. Cheers!!
Great video Esteban Loco! I strongly encourage singing in all your videos! Thanks for the reminder that tv antennas are still useful in today's TikTok world!
Sorry about the late response. No you don't get any more channels than you would any other antenna. You might get channels with it that other antennas wouldn't pick up.
I installed one of these Televes antennas in a hilly region and had to point it thru trees. It’s working great. I did need to minimize the length of coaxial cable and connectors between the antenna and amplifier, but it worked great even with the hills and trees. I would rather not have the trees in the way, but it’s working so I’ll take it.
You used a 7/16 inch end wrench on the hardware. That means that the fasteners are 1/4-20 (not 1/2 inch). Did you consider running the coax down the inside if the pole rather than using standoffs ?
Had exact same old antenna (10’ x 7’) replaced with much smaller Televes Ellipse (~ 3’ x 3’). Receiving a few more channels but (so far) no pixelation on any channel even in bad weather… heavy rain, wet white-out snow (caked antenna), and moderate wind (20-25 mph). No high wind as yet to report (not complaining tho) 😀
