I bought this. It’s more convenient as far as placement than using the Channel Master flat panel amplified antenna, but it didn’t set the world on fire as far as reception. It’s still directional, and it doesn’t receive VHF contrary to its claims.
I am considering purchasing this, largely for its advertised feature of automatic adjustment of the amplification element when necessary. Specifically, I refer to their website claim that this "automatically adapts its gain in real time to optimize the reception of television signals, ensuring the optimum level of signal is delivered at all times." Typically, amplifiers have failed me because I'm less than 35 miles from most broadcasting towers and the amplification makes the picture worse with overkill. I get over 140 channels (many duplicates overlapping from different metropolitans), but loss of signal and tiling do occur on some 1080i channels. In my interest in eliminating this, I'm thinking that an automated noise reduction and boosted amplification as necessary can help. I've noticed that this antenna mentions a 30-mile radius and not the usual 35-mile radius which I find peculiar. My question is whether you have tested extensively enough to observe the automated gain with this device. Your review here didn’t get into this feature.
I tested this antenna roughly 60 miles from the towers. There were two stations that were considerably closer than the others, and they didn't overmodulate. By and large Televes does a great job with their auto gain control.

When I personally tested this antenna it did have VHF-High reception. No, it wasn't as good as a large outdoor antenna, but there was some reception.

Why does this antenna based upon your testing seem to be picking up more stations than the Evoca antenna?
Don't know why, but it did. The data speaks for itself
how many stations does it pickup ?
That depends on where you are. Call us at 888-233-7563 during East Coast business hours and we'll help you figure it out.
