An AmazonBasics Amplified Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna Review Won't Answer These 51 Questions

★★★★★ An AmazonBasics Amplified Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna review will not answer these 51 questions. Get the truth from people who own an AmazonBasics Amplified Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna, including the fact that it won't...

QUESTION: I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS RE: 60-MILE ANTENNA: 1) IS IT MOUNTED OUTDOORS? 2) DOES IT PICK-UP UHF AS WELL AS VHF? 3) DOES IT NEED PRO INSTALL?
• I bought this antenna a couple of months ago and have it hanging in my window with 2 pieces of packaging tape. the tower farthest away from me is approx. 62 miles away ( NBC) at 310 degrees. my antenna is pointed at approx. 291 degrees towards several towers that are approx. 40 to 45 miles away (ABC, CBS, PBS, and FOX. Although the NBC station is off angle from my antenna19 degrees, I pick it up as well as the others Without turning the antenna and yet my antenna is sitting inside my trailer in a window and not outside on a mast. So in my case, I have no regrets about buying the 60 mile antenna. Depending on the terrain between your location and the transmitting tower and where you intend on placing your antenna, whether it be in a window like I have or outside on a mast can have a huge impact on how many stations you can receive. I receive 13 stations myself with the antenna mounted in the window, but I am satisfied with that. If I put it on a mast outside and raise it just above the roof, then I can receive approx. 10 more channels for several other directions. So in my opinion, this antenna is well worth the investment for me. It does not need a pro install unless you choose to go that route and you can mount it either indoor in a window like I did or the attic or outside on a mast ( pole ). Hope that helps.
• It can be mounted in the attic or outdoors. I recommend the highest unobstructed outdoor location. It will receive all frequencies, VHF, UHF, Digital, and FM. Installation can be DIY if you are comfortable with it, mine was fairly simple, but yours may be more difficult. 
• Outdoors. With digital channel numbering I don't know what UHF means anymore. But I do receive channels numbering from 3 to 57. You would be throwing your money away if you hired a professional to install it. It's one of the easiest pieces of technology to install. Of course, if you don't own a screwdriver, then you should probably have someone else do it. 

QUESTION: WILL THIS UNIT WORK IN A BASEMENT?
• No. It needs to be in the attic or outside. The higher the better. The lower it is the weaker the signal. 
• You might have to spend a little more time finding the sweet spot, but in my opinion, it will work fine. I'm basing that on the fact that mine is positioned in the middle of my living room, not near a window and works great. 
• Probably Not. Mine did not work through a few thick walls. These units work best when they are attached outside or to a window. 

QUESTION: HAS ANYBODY BOUGHT THE 60 MILE ONE?
• Yes, I did! It works fine, found 41 channels but only half of them in English. Very clear picture, easy to install. I ended up to put it in the artic. I could have installed it at the wall and having 41 channels too. I am very happy with my purchase. Receive NBC, FOX, ABC CBS and more... 
• Yes. Its more an outdoor than an indoor. We've got it hooked up to the railing on the back deck and split to serve two bedroom TVs. It picks up between 14 and 16 stations depending on the moods of the OTA gods. CBS is a little spotty, as is FOX. The NH ABC station, NH MeTV are VERY spotty. The Boston ABC and MeTv stations are my clearest (wierd since the NH stations are by far the closest) 
• I bought both 50 mile amplified and the 60 mile one for two different TV's. The 50 mile one got 2 channels, the 60 mile one got all the networks and more, even inside next to a window. Our CBS and Fox are 46 miles away, others 25 miles. I'm sending back the 50 mile one and setting up a splitter on the 60 mile antenna. If you have any doubt, go for the 60 mile.....it's a great antenna. 
• I did not buy this item so I cannot give you feedback. However, I did buy the Amazon 50 mile Ultra Thin Amplified Indoor HDTV antenna and is a perfect device for my needs. People have commented on the clarity of the picture on my TV screen. Worth the money. Has paid for itself. Between the antenna and HUlu+, who needs cable. Money saved, priceless. Assess your viewing needs first. Mine are simple and this works for me. 
• I want to know the answer to this as well. 
• I haven't 

QUESTION: WHAT DO I NEED TO DO IF I HAVE MULTIPLE T.V.'S THAT I WOULD LIKE TO WORK FROM THIS ANTENNA?
• What I have done in the past is connent the antenna to the existing cable in your home/wherever. Then you should be able to plug the tv's into their normal cable outlets. 
• I am not an expert but best to not try connecting to more than one TV. Signal strength will be reduced by every TV attached to one antenna. Also I found this antenna to be very easily affected by movement near it. Good luck. 

QUESTION: ACCORDING TO THE MAPS I CHECKED I WILL GET A MODERATE SIGNAL IS THIS WORTH TRYING? I AM GUESSING FROM THE MAPS I AM MORE THAN 60 MILES AWAY
• I was 39 miles & 43 miles for DC & Baltimore and this antenna was a complete joke. I tried it because it looks nice, but having an antenna that's easy on the eyes is pretty pointless when it does not get anywhere close to a 60 mile range if it can't pull in a signal at 40 miles. I tried the Winegard 7967P & used a preamp & wow! I'm getting all the major networks from DC & Baltimore, plus a bunch of other smaller ones. The Winegard looks like an "ugly" tv antenna, but it sure does an amazing job! It works flawlessly and I didn't need a rotor for it to pick up stations from both cities. Sweet. If you are more than 40 miles away, I would not recommend the Amazon Basics amplified antenna. It just does not work. Other antennas do work for greater distances, but they are going to look like TV antennas.
• I have the 35 mile antenna and get more stations than expected (ATL is 28 miles away for me), but I'm not sure that I would go over the recommended range. Even some stations that I should have strong signals for sometimes black out momentarily. Your geography (mountains, houses, etc.) and location at your house that you mount it both affect the reception so take those into consideration if you should try to push the distance or not. 

QUESTION: IS THE 60 MILE VERSION DIRECTIONAL?
• While looking at the description it appears to have dual capabilities directional and multi directional wow thank you for bringing that to my attention 
• Sorry Jeff! I have the 50mile Antenna. It's nice cause you just place it on the wall. It's flat not directional. U have to try different spots to place it though & try to place it on an outside wall as high as possible. The best part is it's all American Made!! Also has a good warranty. 

QUESTION: WOULD I BE BETTER OFF WITH AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA ON OUR ROOF?
• Not knowing where you live (i.e. urban/city or maybe an area way, way out in the country), I doubt it. The Amazon indoor antenna has worked tremendously for me - much better than the Mohu Leaf at twice the cost. Just know sometimes you need to move the antenna to best tune in whichever station you are watching, but the Amazon indoor antenna is great! 
• Poor responses to your question. You will ALWAYS be better off with an outdoor antenna on a roof. It's not even open to debate. 
• As stated by Tonto, you will always get better reception outside. In general, you want to minimize obstructions between you and the signal source so a bigger antenna as high as you can get it will always be better. That doesn't mean this isn't a good antenna. I did an attic installation with another brand (much larger than this) and get about 70 channels, however, I'm close to NYC. As others have suggested, go to antennaweb.org and check your location for the "possible" stations you might be able to receive. 
• No 
• No

QUESTION: I'VE TRIED OTHER LONG-RANGE ANTENNAS-I HAVE NOT HAD ANY SUCCESS. IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIAL ABOUT THIS ONE? MY LAST ONE WAS A CLEARSTREAM2V -DIDNT WORK
• The one I bought didn't work that great for me (it looks different). Couldn't get all local network channels and the ones that did come in had frequent interference. But, I had it located in my interior office not near any windows and on the ground floor. 
• Nothing special. I may or may not work. 

QUESTION: DO I NEED A SEPERATE BOX FOR A DIGITAL TV?
• No, I just connect the antenna to the TV. 
• No, if your tv can tune in digital channels, you simply connect the antenna cable into the cable input, use your television settings to search for channels and you are good to go. Well, almost. I moved the antenna and "searched for channels" several times before I found the antenna location which worked best for me. Great product. 
• I think you only need a converter box IF your tv is 5 or 6 years old. Less than 5 years no. Ours is about 4 years old and we simply attached it to the TV like any other antenna. It is a Samsung flat screen. There are several sites you can read up on this, just google OTA antenna, and Kim Komando has some info on her site, with recommendations to other links I think. TVfool.com is one, tvantenna.com is another, and there are more. With this antenna, you may have to 'find' the locations or angles that pick up all the channels you want to view. We have 2 positions, the second one we have to turn the antenna to receive the PBS stations. Good luck! It was so much easier before digital!

QUESTION: LIVE IN MOBILE HOME WILL IT WORK THERE?
• Will work anywhere that there is HDTV over air broadcast. For your reference I have included site so you can enter your location to determine e what channels you will get. http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/dtvmaps/ You may mot need this large of antena, however if you get this one it may work for more than one TV. 
• This is not the antenna I purchased so not sure 
• Should be no problem. 

QUESTION: WOULD THIS ANTENNA WORK WITH A NON-HD, NON-FLATSCREEN (CATH RAY) SET?
• This or any other antennae will deliver signal to any television. However, your CRT television lacks a digital tuner and its analog tuner is looking for analog signals on frequencies that are no longer used for television broadcasting in the USA. If you bought an outboard digital tuner box and put that between the antennae and the tv you'd be fine. If you don't you'll be wasting your money on an antennae that will deliver signal your television cannot see or use. 
• This is not for an analog television. 
• Antennas are actually not analog or digital, nor HD. All of that in advertising is simple marketing hype. So, yes, this antenna (and any other) will work for analog televisions, too. Whether it picks up enough signal is based on strength of the signal when it arrives at the antenna which is impacted by distance from the transmitter, strength of the signal leaving the transmitter, and obstructions between the two antennae (the tv stations' and yours). 

QUESTION: CAN IT BE USED ON THE SAME TV WITH ROKU STREAMING?
• They are totally separate. You set the input on your TV to either the Roku (hdmi) or the antenna (coaxial external antenna/cable tv). You do not connect the antenna to the Roku because the Roku gets its input from the network. 
• Yes, Roku uses the HDMI input, but the antenna is for TV. They use different input and operate independently. 
• Yes. 
• Yes. It uses a different input. 

QUESTION: HOW PARTICULAR IS THE PLACEMENT (DIRECTION) OF THE ANTENNAE? BEFORE I MOUNTED IT I GOT MORE CHANNELS THAN AFTER I MOUNTED IT. THOUGHTS??!!
• It's important, I would trouble shoot the placement. 
• My experience so far us that direction totally matters. 
• It definitely matters where you put it. I had the same problem, when initially hooked it up to my TV and had my TV scan for stations I had more than before I mounted it on my wall. I tried placing it in several places, but the best place I found was in a window. 
• In my home it was positioned towards the NorthWest window in the direction of our Middle TN Stations. I get around 37 stations in the area. Make sure you have the correct side facing out the window and no medal window blinds touching it. They do interfere with the reception. 
• I couldn't get any channels from it, threw it away and bought an RCA one from Walmart which worked great 

QUESTION: AMAZONBASICS AMPLIFIED INDOOR/OUTDOOR HDTV ANTENNA - 60 MILE RANGE - WILL THIS EFFECT SATELLITE TV SIGNAL IF I USE A SPLITTER?
• No. It will not have any effect. 
• We do not have satellite or cable, only use antenna for TV. Love the antenna works great! Worked good when we were 40 miles from the closest signal also. 
• Sorry can't help with this question. I only bought the 50 mile hdtv and not using any splitter. Thanks. 

QUESTION: WHAT DO YOU NEED TO CONNECT THE 60 MILE UNIT TO THE EXISTING CABLE WIRING
• You need to identify where the old cable originally comes into the house and ideally into some splitter (if you had multiple boxes). Unscrew or unplug the old feed, and plug in the feed from your antenna. This should now "feed" into the splitter and go to all your TVs. Of course at each TV you need to directly connect the cable (that used to go into your cable box or dvr) into the TV. Then the TV should have an "Auto" function to run and check for channels. 
• I'm not positive, as I haven't used the "60 mile" unit yet, but from everyone I've talked to it seems that this unit comes with everything you would need to plug into tv, assuming you don't already have cable. The instructions manuals from Amazon for their products are very simple to read and understand, which should make set up a breeze. 

QUESTION: COULD THIS BE USED IN ATTIC?
• Possibly. We did not install ours in the attic but we considered doing so. If you do not have a tin roof you stand a good chance of it working. We have ours on the wall behind the TV and it works very well. In fact we receive better picture with his antenna than we did thru comcast. 
• Not likely. The cord is 16' long. Has to be within 16' of TV. Mounts with with double backed sticky pads. 

QUESTION: CAN I USE THIS ON MORE THAN ONE TV ?
• Yes, we have it on 4 tvs and it works well. We put it in the attic and ran the cable down to a cable splitter in the basement and use the cable connections to connect to each tv. We had to use a 2nd splitter because we have cable internet. We am quite happy with it and get 48 channels, some we don't watch, but the ones we do are crystal clear. So with Roku boxes, Netflix, Hulu, and Prime, we have a really good selection of tv. Excluding Prime, because we would have that anyway, we have all the tv we want for about $17 a month. 
• Yes, need a splitter. I have three TV and it works. 
• Yes you can, You have to use a spliter to connect the coaxial cables to run to all the rooms (TV's) in your home. My home was pre-wired with coaxial cabling in many rooms so my one antenna works for all TV's. 
• Yes but you will have to use a signal splitter. 

QUESTION: IS THIS ANTENNA MULTI- DIRECTIONAL?
• James, I live about 20 miles from New York City and I believe the signals I receive emanate from there. No matter which I turn it the signal is good to excellent. Hope this helps good luck! 
• For me it works best pointed in a certain direction. I do live in a rural area. 
• It is flat like a sheet of paper. I suspect you need to point it. It did not work for me in any event. 

QUESTION: DOES IT PICKUP BOTH VHF AND UHF
• I have the 35-mile range rather than the amplified 65-mile range, but mine does pick up both vhf and uhf. The product page for your model actually states: "The Sky antenna delivers digital television channels in stunning HD on both UHF and VHF spectrums. " and as always, of course, your reception may vary depending on location details. 
• Both. No problem. 
• We get all of the channel 2, 4, 5, 9, 11,24, 30 and 46 channels broadcast from St. Louis. Hope this helps. 
• I believe, since we're talking DIGITAL stations here, the VHF (Very High Frequency) & UHV (Ultra High Frequency) name really doesn't mean anything anymore. VHF & UHF are both based off of ANALOG frequencies. Digital is a completely different animal that just happens to use the same base channel numbering that we associate with VHF (2-13) and UHF (14+). Hope that helps! 

QUESTION: HOW WOULD YOU GROUND THE 60 MILE ANTENNA IF INSTALLING OUTSIDE?
• I suppose that you could attach a splitter and on the splitter attach the 2 pronged u-shaped antenna ending, grounding that like one does an appliance to the middle screw of an outlet. You might have to place a screw near your antenna to do so, but it should dissipate a surge. 
• I only bought the 50 mi Indoor antenna. I'm sure it has instructions. 

QUESTION: I CURRENTLY HAVE A RCA800F (RANGE 30 MILES) AND THE STATIONS THAT ARE 46 AND 43 MILES AWAY ARE THE HARDEST TO GET. WOULD THIS AMAZON ONE WORK?
• The stations I was trying to pull in (Please see my review) were 40 to 45 miles away. The MH-110708 60 Mile product they sent me did not perform well at all. It could of been a dud ... not sure. I ended up using a RCA ANT702F that I bought at Meijer to pull in the stations once I found the hot signal spot. As with all antennas ... height from ground and clear line of sight are the determinant factors on signal availability. 
• I gave this antenna to my son for Christmas and he lives about 50 miles away from Atlanta. The local stations from there come in perfectly. He is totally satisfied with the signal from all the stations they love to watch! 
• Mine has a clear signal at over 50 miles so I would think so. 

QUESTION: DO I NEED A CONVERTER BOX WITH THIS ANTENNA?
• No, it is designed to input to your digital TV. If your TV is not digital, I'm not sure what you need to make an older style TV work. 
• No u just plug into tv 
• No. It plugs directly into your digital TV. 
• Nope. It attaches right to the coax plug on your tv. 
• The only reason you would need a converter box is if your tv can not accept digital signals. 

QUESTION: IS THERE AN ONLINE MANUAL? I LIKE TO KNOW HOW THIS CAN BE CONNECTED TO AN EXISTING CABLE NETWORK.
• It never worked for me. Not even one channel. And I live less than a mile from the center of Portland, OR. Lame... 
• No it can not , it is a stand alone antenna 
• A little confused by the question. An antenna is a seperate feed directly into the television, it can coexist with a cable connection as it is a different hook-up. No approved manual online that I am aware of as the instructions are basically "plug and play" with additional support and troubleshooting. 
• If your cable box connects to the TV with a HDMI cable It is easy. You just hook up the co-ax cable from the antenna to the antenna or TV connector on your TV set. Then you switch between them with your TV remote.

QUESTION: HAS ANYONE COMPARE AMAZONBASICS AMPLIFIED ANTENNA-60 MILE WITH THE MOHU SKY 60 AMPLIFIED ANTENNA? WHICH ONE WOULD YOU RECOMMEND ?
• BG, I have asked the same question on the Mohu Sky 60 product page. Surprisingly no real direct answer either. 
• I have transmission towers 35 miles away and I got the 50 mile antenna. Disappointed with results. Some channels come in well at times but not at other times. 

QUESTION: JUST WONDERING IF THE 60 MILE ANTENNA NEEDS A GROUND WIRE, WOULD THAT EVEN GROUND IT SINCE IT ALL APPEARS TO BE PLASTIC?
• Any antenna should be grounded if possible, but if you hook into your existing system there should be a ground wire in place. It'll be in the cable box with two coax connectors and a piece of copper wire grounded around a screw leading either to the dirt or your home's own ground circuit. If you don't have one or need another, then just look for an adapter and do the same thing. You're right though about grounding for safety though, the chance of this antenna getting struck by lightning is minimal even outside. 
• Since it comes with coax cable that screws into the TV jack, I don't think this is an issue. I would, however, recommend that you have a grounded power strip. Weather related surges can always be an issue. 

QUESTION: FOR ME, MAJOR STATIONS (ABC, NBC, ETC) ARE ANYWHERE FROM 51-58 MILES AWAY. WOULD THIS WORK FOR ME, IF INSTALLED IN MY ATTIC?
• you would be pushing the envelope. if you had clear line of sight (Up to a point for curvature) you might get them. might. 
• No 
• No. I bought this unit and also installed in attic. We are 40 miles from major stations in Houston area and just barely get reception. 

QUESTION: CAN YOU HOOK IT UP TO MORE THAN ONE TV?
• Yes, if you use a splitter. 
• Yes. In fact, we have ours connected to five TVs - all working well! I'm in the south Metro Atlanta area. I'm not using the amplifier as I have the antenna on the garage roof (my house roof is tin) and the splitters in the crawl space without an outlet or USB connection. If anyone can solve this situation, please let me know as I'd like to have even more strength. I recommend this antenna. 
• Splitters do split / 1/2 the signal so it is best to amplify the signal before splitting it. 
• I didn't purchase this version but I would think only one TV. But can't say for sure. 
• I only have it tied to one tv. No provisions are supplied for multiple tv hookup. Suspect built-in amplifier only made for one tv. 

QUESTION: IS THE AMPLIFIER IN THE 60 MILE ANTENNA A SEPARATE BOX? IF SO, WHAT ARE THE LIMITATIONS AS TO WHERE IT CAN BE PLACED?
• It is a small-ish device -- roughly half the size of a cell phone (though thicker) -- that is added to the cord that plugs in. So it is not attached to the antenna, but it is attached to the plug for the wall. 
• For th 30 mile antenna I have, there is no amplifier. 

QUESTION: HOW WOULD ONE GO ABOUT HOOKING THIS INTO AN HD TV AND WOULD IT STILL WORK IF IT WAS ON THE GROUND FLOOR?
• I have an hd TV. i hooked it up to a 2nd floor TV and it works pretty well. Some of the channels here are not good anyway. I didn't hook it up to a ground floor TV yet (I have a 2nd antenna for that) BUT, i think it will be a lot better than my rabbit ears. I don't know for sure, though. Rich 
• The one I got got is very simple to plug into the Tv. I have it on first floor of a 3-floor house. I just hung it on the wall. I got 31 channels. Most of them I wouldn't watch. But I get the major networks, NBC, ABC, CBS, and Fox. 
• Mine works on the ground floor. You plug it into the coaxial port. Same as cable tv. You need to change your setting on the TV for over the air. 

QUESTION: IS THE ANTENNA JUST FOR 1 TV OR CAN IT BE HOOKED UP TO MULTIPLE SETS?
• Can be hooked up to multiple sets with a splitter 
• I hooked it up to three tv sets with a splitter 
• The amplifier has to be plugged in, so if you have a splitter and run 2 coaxial cables from it, then you might be able to do it. I don't know if the power is strong enough to run 2 tv's-- 
• 1 TV at a time. 

QUESTION: I AM THINKING OF INSTALLING THE 60 MILE UNIT IN MY BOAT. IS IT OMNI-DIRECTIONAL OR DOES IT NEED TO BE "POINTED" TO GET THE BEST RECEPTION?
• I do not know. I have it hanging by my window. Sorry! 
• It has to be pointed.there are web sites that when you input your area code &address its gives you a degree setting to aim the antenna at to bring in certain stations. 
• Hi, Bruce! I found the direction of the unit makes a difference indoors. I can loose the picture and sound by rotating. Not sure this would be good for marine applications. Hope this helps. 
• You should point it broadside to the station that you want to receive. Front side or backside doesn't matter. That will give you the strongest signal. 

QUESTION: HOW IS THE UHF AND VHF CHANNEL RECEPTION?
• The reception on this (60 mile) is excellent and we are located in a rural area. A friend was over and had no idea he was watching tv from an antenna. He was shocked at the high quality of the picture. 
• I can't help you, this is not the antenna we purchased 

QUESTION: WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM GAIN (DBI) FOR VHF AND UHF?
• I can't give you the actual dbi because I don't know it. I can say that I had a RCA antenna that I purchased for my main TV. It cost twice as much. I could only get about 20 signals and 15 consistently. I couldn't get BOUNCE , GRIT, or Antenna TV. My brother had the Amazon antenna so when I received a smart TV for my bedroom, I purchased one and the reception was so much better that I replaced the RCA and with the Amazon brand. I get about 38 signals and about 30 consistently clear. I am very pleased! 
• The picture is really good when it is able to get the waves but it does randomly cut out alot. And I am definitely well within the 35 mile range. 

QUESTION: BUILDER RAN CABLE IN WALLS, CAN WE CONNECT THIS TO THIS CABLE WIRE ON NEW BUILD?
• Yes 
• Yes, As long it is the correct cable for the antenna. 
• It has a Coaxial Connection and instead of plugging it into the TV you would attach it to your house feed if it is wired with Coaxial 

QUESTION: WHERE IS THE AMPLIFIER HOUSED AND WHERE DOES IT GET ITS POWER?
• Picture a power cord in the shape of a capitol T. The amplifier is right at the top center of the T. There is a cord going down from the amplifier into your wall socket(this would be the vertical straight part of the T)and that is how the amplifier receives power. The two ends of the cord that make up the horizontal part of the T, one end plugs into your TV and the other end is attached to the antenna itself. This is an excellent antenna. We get better pictures with the antenna than we did through comcast. 
• Don't have an amplifier just used the "placemat" looking thing that didn't work at all. 

QUESTION: HOW DIRECTIONAL IS THE 60-MILE ANTENNA? I HAVE STATIONS TO THE NORTHEAST, NORTH, NORTHWEST AND DUE WEST. MOST ARE 40 TO 55 MILES AWAY.
• We didn't have much success picking up any stations 35-40 miles away, regardless of the direction! 
• Don'f know 
• I don't know. 

QUESTION: HOW MANY TVS CAN CONNECT TO THIS?
• With a good multiple tv line amplifier not the one that came with this antenna. You should be able to connect 3 to 4 television. 
• I believe it is possible to use a splitter to connect it to more than one TV, but that is just an educated guess on my part. I am only using it with one TV for now. 
• I just connected one. 
• This is not the same as the one I bought. Sorry, I can't help. 
• This is not the antenna that I bought. I bought the very thin square blk/white antenna. Usually you can connect just one TV to these indoor antenna's. The one I bought works great and so far gets 41 channels. Hope this helps. 

QUESTION: MAY I ASK WHAT ARE THE DEMENSIONS OF THE ANTENNA?
• 12 inches tall by 13 inches wide. 
• 13 x 12 inches 
• 12"x18" and paper thin. 
• 9 1/4 wide by 7 1/4 tall. Has a 15 Ft cable. Love this antenna. I now have three, no need for cable for me. 

QUESTION: CAN THE ANTENNA BE PAINTED WITHOUT IMPACTING ITS EFFECTIVENESS?
• I would think so! The material seems pretty much the same as the Mohu leaf (of course Amazon's gets a longer range and better price!) and you're absolutely able to pain the Mohu leaf one w/ no problems so I assume the same. Here's a tip for that: By using a multi-purpose latex primer (we used Sherwin-Williams B51W450) and a few coats of your existing wall color, your antenna will seem about as non-existent as your cable bill! 
• I have no idea if it would work or not but STAY AWAY FROM THIS IF u live in a rural area as i do and only get 2 channels and its very spotty at best 

QUESTION: THIS ANTENNA HAVE TO BE GROUND ?
• No. I don't believe it needs to be. 
• I don't think so. However, it is plugged into an electrical outlet for amplification. That probably effectively grounds it. 

QUESTION: USING THE 60 MILES ONES. I GET BASIC CHANNELS WITHOUT PROBLEM ON CLEAR DAY. BUT ON A FOGGY/CLOUDY DAY MANY CHANNELS START GETTING GLITCHY. ANY HELP?
• If it's not a hassle, try moving the antenna a little. 
• That's simply how digital signals over the air work. If the signal strength goes below a certain point or gets reflected by something too much (like an airplane flying close), then you lose most of the picture. Digital transmissions just cannot tolerate errors, like analog signals can. Analog signals, like old TV, can just degrade with signal strength and get progressively "snowier" without a total signal loss. 

QUESTION: CAN YOU GET AMC AND FX AND HGTV WITH THESE ANTENNAS
• The antenna is for over-the-air channels only. AMC and FX are cable channels which are not broadcast over the air. 
• Yes I sm getting all 3 

QUESTION: HOW DO YOU HOOK THIS UP TO MULTIPLE TVS?
• Use a spliter can get as many as 4 TV's on one splitter. Make sure amplifier is hooked up between antenna and spliter 
• you would need a splitter and run the wire to the other set(s). The antenna itself actually worked for me for about a week and then it died and I sent it back and got a refund 
• You would need to use an RF Splitter, one end connected to the antenna cable and then the other two connectors would go to the cables for each TV. If the signal seems weaker, especially if one or both cables are long, you may also need to add a signal amplifier. 

QUESTION: WHAT IS THE DIAMETER OF THE POLE ON THE 60-MILE ANTENNA?
• I haven't measured, but I woul estimate between an inch and an inch and a half... 
• No pole, only coax (RF) cable. 

QUESTION: DOES THIS ANTENNA WORK WITH LO-VHF (CH 2-6) AND HI-VHF (CH 7-13) AS WELL AS ALL UHF (CH 14-99)?
• works fine with them. also picks up the digital versions of those stations as well. 
• Pretty sure all HDTV antennas cover the VHF and UHF spectrum. I have an indoor model and picking up channels from 2-1 thru 65-5. That is the range that my tv scanner has locked on to, I am sure if there was a channel 99-3 within range it would have picked it up also. 
• assuming you are in range to receive those channels then yes, it will pick up those channels. I get about 60 channels with mine. 

QUESTION: IS THIS ANTENNA AFFECTED BY THE PRESENCE OF FOIL BACKED ROOF DECKING?
• yes 
• [Deleted by the author on Jan 30, 2015 1:04:51 PM PST]

QUESTION: CAN I PUT A SIGNAL SPLITTER ON THIS AND USE IT FOR MULTIPLE TELEVISIONS ?
• The splitter we use is fine. The coupler to extend the line into the 2nd bedroom was a total failure. Bought a 50ft coax line and works like a charm 
• I have 
• There's a possibility of weakening the signal when you split it so I would recommend limiting the number of TV's connected. 
• Go to Radio Shack and buy an amplified splitter with an adjustable gain knob. I have one that has four output connectors, and with its 10dB amplifier, there's no loss of signal when running all four. 

QUESTION: IS IT IMPORTANT WHICH FLAT SIDE OF THE 60 MI ANTENNA YOU POINT? DON'T WANT TO BE 180 DEGREES OFF.
• No 
• No 
• No 
• No 

QUESTION: HAS THIS ANTENNA WORKED FOR ANYONE AFTER SEEING THAT YOU WILL RECIEVE NO CHANNELS IN YOUR LOCTION (ANTENNAWEB.ORG) BECAUSE OF OBSTRUCTIONS AND OBJECTS
• That's not the antenna I purchased so I don't know if I works. 
• This isn't the antenna I purchased and not sure what your issue is exactly but if the signal is outside of the range you won't pick them up regardless. On a side note placement is key and this one has an advantage of being able to be placed outside and therefore as high as needed. Hope you find something that works for you! 

QUESTION: DOES ANYONE HAVE THIS ON AN OUTSIDE ANTENNA ABOUT 35 FEET UP OR MORE?
• No 
• No 

QUESTION: I HAVE 100' OF COAXIAL CABLE RUNNING FROM MY ATTIC TO MY TV AREA. HOW MUCH WILL THIS IMPACT THE SIGNAL QUALITY? I'M 15 MILES FROM BROADCAST TOWERS
• Regular Coax usually has a range of about 250ft without amplification. If you have the cable already, it should be good but if it has signal degradation, you should get an RG11 coax, which has a range of like 2000 feet. 
• Coax is pretty good. I don't think the length will make that much difference. The antenna quality will still be the deciding factor.
