Thank you Bob and thank you Sasha for excellent camera work! 🙂

Shucks, we did get to see how it performed.

Bob Thanks so much for this video. You saved me with your proper assembly of the phasing strips. Now on to chimney mounting. Have a 10ft pole with fm antenna on top Great video

Now go scan so we can see what you get! 😅

Nn è il tuo mestiere lasci perdere 😂😂

How much did the antenna cost you BOB??? How did it stand up for you do far and how is the reception. ???

sweet

Nice job thanks probably save me assembly problems

Is your antenna grounded, I curently use a ground block. I was looking into the Smartkom and the manual I saw online says to run the coax to the indoor amplifier power supply as you did, Where would you put a ground?

i like the view of your crazy neighbor with a ladder on the roof

dose this work well for 3 way antrnnas ?? heard mixed reviews

Hey Bob, You should do a 2 year review on this antenna so we can see how its holding up. Thanks !

What does the Level 25 signifiy?

I already have a Televes 2 antenna input agc preamp. I wonder if the amp could be bypassed. I put a metal roof on, and the huge outdoor antenna only has two openings on the north to grab a signal, so I need an attic antenna no longer than 3.5 feet if I replace the one in the attic. If I move it outside, I need the smallest, most artistic antenna possible. My current attic antenna is being supplemented with the MaxV, which is the only off the shelf antenna which is not a monstrosity. The infinity shape hangs at the vent level and looks like a family crest, like it belongs there. But I can see mounting this one 3feet below the roof top, hiding in the back behind the chimney. However, there may be cheaper similar antennas without the agc since I already have one, with 2 antenna input.

هل هو يدور بالماطور ؟

How did you get it out the door. Hope you had a garage door.

Holy cow!! Good thing you parents got you an "Erector Set" when you were a kid, no? Man, that thing is HUGE!! Thanks.

If you call Televes directly for help the it guys talks down to you like you don’t know what your doing. Now if Televes is selling this SmartKom product thinking it’s going be installed by expert professional installers everywhere they are HIGHLY mistaken. Most people that play with OTA stuff either do it as a hobby or can’t afford a cable tv bill due to being on a budget. So how or why would they hire a professional installer for this product? Televes needs to make a “How to install for dummies” for both Smartkom and Asuite. I’m pretty good at this install stuff and this product is a pain in the ass to setup and there NO help out there due to it being such a new product. Mine is getting return returned until Televes supports there product install more then a 2 minute generic video. It’s a shame because it looks like it could of been a great product. Great channel here BTW. I’m subscribed 👍👍

Just purchased and installed one of these, and wanted to share my experience in case it can help others. So after installing, I initially used the auto-scan button on the unit and it found less channels than I was getting before. It was also assigning them to the wrong antennas (or at least, what I would consider to be the wrong antennas). I was about accept that I had just wasted $200. However!!! I then downloaded the SmartKom app. It wasn't clear to me how to connect the app to the unit, but it appears you just need to be near the white power unit. There's seemingly no bluetooth paring involved. If the app doesn't find the unit, unplug it and plug it back in again. I then pulled up the Antennas Direct map for my area and went through it line by line, manually assigning all the channels to my three antennas based on their directions. I uploaded this configuration to the unit -- and Voila -- 21 new channels! And almost all my channels (both old and new) seem rock-solid now. So my advice is definitely DO NOT rely on the auto-scan feature. Enter your channels manually. It's pretty easy once you get the hang of the app, and really only needs to be done once. I'm loving my SmartKom now!

Bluetooth app works but is not easy to connect to the antenna selector until you understand app was poorly written. Just turn off antenna preamp at power unit and then back on. Play with app buttons until it works. Good luck it does work. Bluetooth is located inside of power unit and automatically turns off after a short period of time.

The shaky video takes away from whatever you are saying. Wow.

Do a TH-cam search of "stabilize video on TH-cam". Your unstable video is very hard to watch. Your info is good but video technique needs assistance. I want to get a SmartKom and that is how I found your channel.

Hey Bob, Thanks for the video. Helped a lot. I have two Televes Dinova boss mix pointing two different market antennas nearby, I get all the way through where I can get Televis Smartkom to show the channels it has picked up from each antenna... but when I goto hit scan TV channels to my Tablo DVR receiver... worse than a single antenna? Only gets a few channels, less than before using the Smartkom? Makes no sense, as I can see all the extra channels, and indivdually both antennas are aimed where they need to be... So why doesn't Tablo seem to like the Smartkom output? EDIT - I ended up sending back the first Smartkom, second one works fine...

Hoping you might know the answer to this question and be able to answer. There are no instructions for the A-Suite. So, I’ve had to exercise my best judgement. When you manually adjust the levels of the individual channels, once that’s done do you hit “adjust” or do you just hit “send configuration”? This company makes a good product although I found the smartkom isn’t fool-proof and required quite a bit of manual adjustment. I returned one smartkom because it didn’t scan channels on the second antenna. Nearly the same thing happened again with the exchange as it only picked up one channel. I also lost two weak channels I normally receive. I found when and if you get instructions for anything with this company, they are always incomplete and written for techies. Their responses aren’t always helpful and occasionally you get that engineering type that speaks imprudently and doesn’t know how to deal with people. Antennaman’s advice has lately become compromised by his ability to make money off his videos and his sometimes temperamental autistic-spectrum laden replies. I was actually owed an apology for his last reply to me. All the comments on his videos praising him have become annoyingly silly. I consequently unsubscribed from his channel and removed it from suggested videos. (Edited to remove proper names and company names because the bots suppressed the reply)

may 2023 I own this antenna 9 stories high 60 miles away nyc 40 miles new haven ct 90 from hartford ct Im able to recieve 80 to 75 channels depending on direction in a concreate building worth buying all others I ve tried are junk... highly reccomended except for low powered vhf 7-13 weak in my area.... blinks in out as long as I can see my retro start tv Metv + decades grit tv get tv.. comet tv cozi tv LAFF TV Im thrilled as for weather related this antenna is not effected I also use channel master filter fm filter also improves ... two stations share same RF.... wwor pbs 25 this antenna pre amp helps filter that issuw out quite nicely..... with this antenna Tivo Edge sensitive tuner for antenna users.... you wont be sorry buy buy buy

Can you do a scan from the app?

Very interesting product. Would this work as a standalone preamp for a single antenna? And add the 2nd or 3rd antenna at a later date?

Thank you, this is an awesome video, it helped me so much. I did move the pole mounts as far as I could towards the back. Like you said, it's about balance and with the low VHF extension it makes the back of the antenna heavier. Thanks too you video I was comfortable doing that.

that antenna is the best but it will be perfect if they replace the plastic with ceramic insulators 😊

Great Video for assembly instructions. I did not receive my instruction manual. I am 50 - 60 miles from the transmit antennas. Previously mounted small antenna's in my attic. One just stopped working and the other never picked up the low VHF channels. This one installed in my attic works beautifully! Thanks for your help with the assembly!

An Now he measures the doorway.....lol

nice chenj antenas.😌.

Good video, thanks. One question, why do some pics of this antenna show it pointed upward instead of level? I recently installed the same antenna in my elderly parents attic in Northern NJ, they’re getting over 80 channels from NYC!!

I'm glad yours came nicely packed. Amazon just shipped mine as is. Arrived ok though.

Thanks. Not long at all. I was looking for a video like this and I appreciate you. From beginning to end. Will probably buy one soon.

Stop wiggling the Camera

Video was incredibly helpful. Wow. Very well done sir! Thank you

I purchased one of these and it does combine the antennas exceptionally well. I do however have a problem with it becoming disconnected from my phone. It will never reconnect until you do a Smartcom power-down reset. After the reset, my phone will find it again and everything works again. No big deal if you will be satisfied with the initial setup but annoying if you want to play around with adding or removing channels.

Excellent presentation, I didn't get instructions with my antenna, the phasing straps go to dipole then where else I didn't know.

Good video. Always use the proper tools for any job!

Bob, I'm so glad you didn't cut anything out. My kit was missing the instructions, and I was able to fully assemble because of this video. Thanks!

I am gonna be assembling one of these in my attic soon. Was gonna get the smaller one, but my wife has to have the MeTV channel that's lo band.

Doesnt that DB8e with its combiner already allow you to aim its two bay sections in different directions to pick up different TV markets?

It's too bad that diplexer doesn't have an FM input to ad an third antenna for FM reception like the Polish diplexer Zwrotnica antenowa AMS ZA-104MS which has 3 inputs: UHF (with 4G LTE filter and power passthrough), VHF High and FM. The AMS ZA-204MS model has power passthrough for all 3 ports to mount 3 antennas with built in amplifier.

Hi Bob. I am still picking up UHF channels above 36. I get 41.1 41.2 41.3 41.4 41.5 41.6 41.7 41.8 and 42.1 42.2 43.3 also low VHF 4.1 4.2 4.3 4.4 5.5 5.6 I guess they haven't heard of repack in my area (central MN) They all come in pretty good but sometimes i will have like all the 4s drop out or all the 41s dropout or all the 42s drop out for 1 to 5 days. I live about 90 miles west of the twin cities. They do not have 3.0 yet. Since 3.0 is supposed to be easier to receive. Is there an antenna that will pick up 3.0 that far away and cover all the channels I get now with an older outdoor antenna with a 24db gain indoor amp. JIM R

the best antenna

Thanks for the video! I have a question for you: I'm between two markets. One is about 70 miles north, the other about 25 miles south east. We've had one of those big square antennas pointing to the north stations. We could pick them up at night, but not during the day. The south east stations came in, no problem. Recently though, the south east stations were getting weaker and weaker, so I turned the antenna a smidge to it could pick them up better, but then lose signal on the north ones. Long was to ask, but I'm looking this same antenna. My question is, are you picking up stations from the opposite way your antenna is pointing? (if there are any)
