We have four transmission towers spread across two degrees of bearing at 35 miles. We got tired of paying for cable, but my wife prohibited external roof aerials. Concrete tile roof with maximum of five vertical feet in the attic. And it's Florida, with all the thunderstorms throughout the year. We needed a simple, proven design that was easy to dial in. We got everything we wanted, better than expected.Assembly instructions aren't the greatest, leaving me feeling a bit like the "1960's dad" fitting the pieces together, but in truth it's a very easy assembly. This is good, because I needed to fit the last few pieces together in the attic, awkardly contorting around roof trusses as I did so. Cursed a lot, but it worked out fine.We used a high quality three-way coax signal splitter (helpfully abandoned in place by the cable company) with an advertised 5.5dB signal loss per channel. At each TV, I preemptively added an inexpensive Winegard 100 LNA (5v USB power), also purchased on Amazon.Minimum success required receiving the major air channels with no discernable reduction in quality, including during storms. Actual achieved results were far better than that. We're not seeing any pixelation effects, which my wife commented was much better than the signal we had on the same channels beforehand using cable. This statement includes the dozens of lower-powered channels that share the same transmission towers. We're very pleased with the performance.One more note - I used a King SL1000 Surelock Digital TV Signal Finder to dial in the antenna bearing. It takes a light hand and a good bit of tedious practice to get useful results. So be patient and expect a lot of trial and error. Also keep in mind that magnetic flux gate bearings (like on your basic phone compass) are not going to be the same as true bearings, so be conscious of your measurement source compared to your target bearing. Unless you're an experienced sailor or airman, which I am neither, you almost need to write this caution on the back of your hand before you start dialing in the direction from up in the attic. Be patient and keep with it til you get what you want.

we didn't even need to mount on roof. upside down in high garage, gets US stations from the 65 miles+ where we're at.

Le instalé el amplificador de señal y spliter para dos TV's y quedó todo muy bien. Todo de la misma marca GE.

Buen Producto, sin embargo para la ubicación donde me encuetro, solo agarro un canal.

Capta los canales que requiero, hay que moverle un poco, y es lo engorroso, pero termina por captarlos

En mi casa tenía servicio de cable contratado para tres televisiones, pero dí de baja dos aparatos para reducir gastos. Entonces quedaron dos televisiones sin señal de cable y por tanto las conecté a una antena INTERIOR; las televisiones captaron 6 canales solamente y 3 de ellos con señal distorsionada e intermitente.... Eso las hacia practicamente inusables.Entonces decidí comprar esta antena EXTERIOR de GE, la instalé los mas alto posible (techo de segunda planta), la orienté hacia donde estan las antenas de la mayor parte de la repetidoras de canal (en Matamoros Tamaulipas es hacia el norte), y AHORA PUEDO VER 36 CANALES DIGITALES DE TELEVISION ABIERTA PERFECTAMENTE NITIDOS sin tener que pagar cada mes por ello. Obvio que esto habla de la buena calidad de esta antena exterior de General Electric. La recomiendo ampliamente, por calidad de imagen y por su bajo costo.

Tenía una antena de interior que visualizaba pocos canales , con esta antena externa aumentó la recepción de canales en español e inglés

I have ordered several different antennas in the last year. Those little stickup ones that are flat and go on your window or wall are absolutely useless unless you live under the local transmission tower. You have to leave it to GE to put together a high-quality product. This is a solid antenna that I installed on my roof (outside) and it discrete enough to not be a monstrosity on my roof. I used the website they suggest to get the exact heading to orient based on maximum tower transmission and used the compass on my phone to orient. Was very easy and picked up the maximum number of channels. I am about 30 km from the tower and I have to go through some trees, unfortunately. Given that, I am very impressed with the pickup and the quality of the image. I do not get the random signal drops. My only complaint is the installation instructions. I used the picture on the box to complement the instructions as they were absolutely terrible. However, it is such a simple build that anyone that has built an Ikea piece of furniture should be able to figure it out. Since the rest is so good, I still gave an overall rating of 5 stars.

We're about 50 km (30 miles) from transmission towers. Installed this antenna on our old satellite TV mast on the roof. Note that it also worked well just held inside the house but roof cabling was already there so used that instead. The antenna does not appear to be very directional - towers are SE of us but still picked up all 7 channels with antenna pointed due north or south. I needed a coaxial signal booster (a powered signal amplifier) because of the long coax run and the need for a splitter (2 TVs). After that both TVs have crystal clear local TV now.
