Reddit reviews Tree New Bee Amplified HD Digital Outdoor HDTV Antenna 150 Miles Long Range with Motorized 360 Degree Rotation, UHF/VHF/FM Radio with Infrared Remote Control

I think it's a digital TV antenna, terrestrial (not satellite)

Here is a pretty similar one.

Another pretty similar design

Looks like it's one of those generic Chinese no name designs sold as FP 9000 from many different online vendors - for example this one shows the same configuration as your photo.

So your TVFool report is way worse than mine, but we are in the same general area (I'm further away in central bucks). As others have mentioned, 6 and 2 are VHF.

I started out with this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004NQMCDK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

It's cheap, it looks cheap, it feels cheap. It's been up for a year and a half and it works great. I thought it was just going to be a starting point, but it's totally sufficient for everything other than VHF.

To solve the VHF issue, I got this: https://www.antennasdirect.com/store/ClearStream-2V-UHF-VHF-Long-Range-Indoor-Outdoor-DTV-Antenna.html

Works great for channel 6, kinda shitty for everything else. I mounted it on the pole just below the first antenna.

I figured a combination of the 2 would be perfect. Since the first antenna has a preamp in it, I needed a diplexer that would pass power on the UHF side. This was surprisingly hard to find documented when searching - I suppose it's too "technical" :)

So I ended up with this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008PBTPN4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

Mounted it right below the second antenna and everything is working absolutely great.

This is all on the roof of an outbuilding about 20 feet AGL. It goes inside to my office where it hits a splitter. The low side of the splitter goes to an HD Homerun and the high side goes to an underground feed to the house.

It took some time for me to get to this as a solution, but I'm really pleased with it.

Quick edit: the combination of these two antennas is so light that they are mounted in a metal adjustable flag pole holder that is screwed to the roof peak of the barn with a 6 foot piece of black iron pipe in it as a mast. Cheap and simple.

I'm in Commerce, and using this antenna (not kidding) mounted in the attic to pick up ABC and GPB:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004NQMCDK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_SMT7yb954CYNT

It's a cheap plastic piece of junk thing but it works. I primarily have it pointed toward ABC tho. The other Atlanta channels are about 5 degrees of from ABC I think, so this antenna can't get them, and I haven't gotten around to messing with it more.

I'd like to get this one or one like it to pull in from two different directions and get everything, but I haven't gotten around to testing the current setup to see if it'd be worth it:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C4XVOOC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_8TT7yb7NXWQA2

Anyway, there's various sites where you can check to see what your chances are to pull in some channels. On mobile and can't remember if the top of my head.

It won't do 150 miles. No matter what it says, and no matter how many times you post it.

Junk.

Are you interested in getting assistance with REAL ANTENNAS that might work? Or just want to accept the need a Digital 1080p 2000 mile super antenna marketing?

Start with the post from upofadown, with the antenna:
Winegard HD7698P

Then with the pre-amps

1 - KItztech
2 -Winegard LNA200
3 RCA RCATVPRAMP1R (has separate VHF/UHF inputs)
4 Channel Master CM7778

I have the setup but not sure if I get those channels. what numbers are they? here's the antenna I have up on the roof: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004NQMCDK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00

Facepalm. This antenna...

Yes, all connections are tight and secure. Hasn't moved. Rescanned and all we can get is CBS. Rescanned on both tv and the Roamio, hoping one would do better than the other.

And yeah, Fairpoint. So f'ing sick of them. Cannot wait...$30 a month for gigabit, when I'm over $100 a month for avg 4 down/.75 up.

You might also try a rotating antenna. I am 50 miles from Atlanta, and get all the networks plus at least 20 other channels. I got a cheap one from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004NQMCDK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Only $35. It has been outstanding. I run it through a small amplifier too, but that should not be necessary since you are only 18 miles from the source.

Analog TV broadcast is dead. There are no stations to receive any more.

However, If the cable in the wall is RG6 (75 ohm) then this cabling could be used to connect up a digital antenna like this one:

http://www.amazon.ca/Amplified-Digital-Motorized-Rotation-Infrared/dp/B004NQMCDK

Say you have a cable connection in a top floor bedroom, you could mount the antenna just outside the window, run the cable inside, plug it in the the cable jack. With a little bit of cross patching you can route this to another jack in the house (where your TV will be)

You will need to locate the point in your house where all the cables run to. To trace these runs with a multi meter, you need to short the inner conductor of the coax to the outer shield using a piece of wire, etc. Then when you use your MM to test the lines for continuity, you will find the line you shorted out with wire.

Locate your two lines, then using an F connector pass through:

Couple them together.


There is no danger of shock, however, if your setup uses an RF amplifier, you will want to eliminate that, as it is now useless.

They look like the (in)famous "150 mile" TV antenna. Perhaps they are driving two TVs? They usually have some sort of a rotator that breaks if you use it too much. So they are prob pointing at the last thing before the breakage.

Example: https://www.amazon.com/Amplified-Digital-Motorized-Rotation-Infrared/dp/B004NQMCDK/ref=sr_1_2

Ok, thanks. It looks like you need an antenna with a range of at least 85 miles for Oklahoma City, Wichita, and Tulsa. They're in three substantially different directions. I would consider a 360 degree motorized rooftop antenna for that. Maybe something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Amplified-Digital-Motorized-Rotation-Infrared/dp/B004NQMCDK

If I was in your shoes that's what I would get because it should easily pick up a signal from around 80-85 miles away. If you're okay just pointing towards one city maybe something like this

https://www.amazon.com/Channel-Master-CM-3020-Range-Antenna/dp/B000BSGCSA

but the directional one is only $35 versus $120 for the directional one.

>$50? I paid about $10 for this, and it works great: https://www.target.com/p/philips-traditional-hd-passive-antenna-black/-/A-53248068


This is the model I was referring to:
https://www.amazon.com/Amplified-Digital-Motorized-Rotation-Infrared/dp/B004NQMCDK/

Personally, I live deep in the middle of nowhere. Only one of those models mounted at least 40 feet in the air will pull a signal from cities averaging 80 miles away from me. But when I scan for channels, I usually receive ~90. Not bad for a cheap antenna. So, if the model you suggested isn't strong enough for OP or anyone else trying to get PBS without paying YouTube for it, spend a little bit more and one should have no problems watching PBS and the usual subset of channels associated with it (NHK, PBS Kids, Create, etc).

Cheers.

Amplified HD Digital Outdoor HDTV Antenna 150 Miles Long Range with Motorized 360 Degree Rotation, UHF/VHF/FM Radio with Infrared Remote Control -- Less than 40 bucks

I live in the middle of Nowheresville, VT (but am thankfully in market). Last year I bought this 150-mile antenna. It works great- I get CBS, NBC, several PBS stations and a few random channels. I'm able to watch 80% of the games (things get a little frustrating when the weather's poor, though). I did supplement with SlingTV last year but won't this year- we've upgraded our internet to very fast fiber and I will be checking out r/nflstreams for the non-CBS/NBC games. I think if you have Amazon Prime, you can stream TNF this year.

I really appreciate the feedback.

Here is the TV foo: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29&q=id%3de6a41fa0d8dadd

I've been looking at this antenna, purely based on ratings/reviews: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004NQMCDK

I live 20 minutes south of you, literally in the middle of the woods. I got one from Ollies for $25, has a powered amp, rotates, and a crappy remote. I put it in my garage. Works awesome. I do have to turn it now and again to get channel 2, but i just have to press a button. Got it 2 years ago. I know the Ollies in Hamburg has them still.

What do you think of this antenna?

I don't have one, yet, but my Dad does.

We live in rural NWGA.
Here is his tvfool report: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29&q=id%3db97dc6f55e32e9

He is able to pick up all the major channels out of Atlanta, along with some independents.

I bought a $30 outdoor antenna off amazon, never put it outside and it picks up literally twice as many channels as any of those bullshit indoor antennas. http://www.amazon.com/Amplified-Digital-Motorized-Rotation-Infrared/dp/B004NQMCDK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1421269799&sr=8-2&keywords=outdoor+antenna

I have this antenna . It works great for me a little north of Fort Collins. But I have a co-worker go bought the same one and says he can't get anything in South Fort Collins. Not sure if it is location or something on his end.

One thing I did notice, I hooked it up to where the dish used to be and used the same wiring. I had to disconnect the wires from the splitter in the garage and hook up the cable from the antenna directly to the cable that went to the receiver. With a splitter in between I couldn't get a signal.

I had the same issue and it ended up being poor signal. Plex kept stopping the recording after a couple minutes, so I installed the HDHomeRun software and watched the live feed - sure enough the video was crap.

Found a channel that was coming in clear and had Plex record a show on that channel, which it did with no problem. Fixed everything by adjusting the antenna.

Edit: If it matters, this is with an HDHomeRun Connect. Here's the antenna I am using, works great: https://www.amazon.com/Amplified-Digital-Motorized-Rotation-Infrared/dp/B004NQMCDK

oh wow so your saying that in a 150miles radius you only get 2 channels??

I live pretty close to Woodman's in Altoona. I have the best flat-panel antenna I could buy from Walmart, and I can only pick up channel 13 reliably. When I lived off Main Street in Eau Claire, I could pick up channel 18 as well with the same antenna. I've been meaning to buy a proper outdoor aerial antenna like this one

I set one up for a relative in Westchester like 6 miles from city limits.

I had to buy the powered kind, like this, the non powered didn't work.

> Those are for urban areas with strong signals.

Yea I just moved out here from the Denver area and got around 40 channels with that antenna, I feel like I got my money out of it so no big loss there.

My dad said he tried this one out and it didn't work so he returned it, to me it looked like a pile of plastic.

We would prefer to have an outdoor antenna if possible. Should I be looking at getting a separate amplifier or are antennas with the amp bundled okay? I'm not even sure where to start looking other than here.

With Rabbit Ears you are likely to get ION and PBS if you want to get those lower power stations that are above 0NmdB then you will need an amplified antenna with a lot of amp.. what you can try is one of those cheap 100 mile amplified antennas .. they aren't pretty for your livingroom but it might work .. maybe.. if youre lucky and the signal is reflecting off the moon and bouncing back..

if you were in a home you would need a 100inch antenna with a strong amplifier

so if you want.. then get something like this

http://www.amazon.com/Amplified-Digital-Motorized-Rotation-Infrared/dp/B004NQMCDK/

you can always return it if it doesn't work

I only have experience with 2 different antennas that have worked (I've bought a bunch which didn't)

my gf has a fool report similar to yours, I bought her a cheap monoprice antenna and it sits in her office. Works nice. Drives 3 tvs. But with your potential, I'd get a better one to get all the channels you can.


I have a really shitty report, and I use this shitty antenna in my attic, and it works pretty well. Drives 4 TVs. I will probably be upgrading to a roof mount next summer.

an indoor antenna will be subject to a lot of other things, like are you in an apartment with many walls between you and source, are you behind a big building, hills, trees, etc. in any case, I'd definitely try another model before giving up. good luck!
