Why Range Claims on TV Antennas Aren't Accurate

- In this video I talk about why you should not buy an antenna based on the mile range listed on the product page or the box. Too many people are buying antennas based on a specific range using keywords like 80 mile antenna, 100 mile antenna, 150 mile antenna, ect. Most of the time range listed on an antenna is not accurate, an exaggeration, and sometimes just plan false advertising.

I had the cheap antenna.I purchased the Winegard with a Channel Master amp and get a solid 60 channels.👍👊
was it directional? if so how much room does it take to swing it? i have to mount mine to a tower and would have to build a stand off arm, if its like most real good antennas ive had theres no way i could use it off the side of a tower.
I've been waiting to see you throw the cheap antenna. This made my day.
it is really amazing that the FCC, nor FTC has it gotten more serious about cracking down on all these companies are making these obviously misleading at best, and erroneous claims at worst when it comes to these antennas. six or seven years ago, I bought just to kind of in Tenna you have been suggesting not to buy because at the time I didn’t really know any better although I should have, and guess what that antenna did not work and I ended up returning it to Amazon. so I as I’m sure many other viewers really appreciate that you have been bringing all this out of the forefront. It Hass to keep happening until some powerful person finally decides to do something about it. Because it really is a nasty scam. Great job as always.
I built a 6 element yagi for UHF out of a piece of wood and some copper wire and stuck it in the attic. I'm picking up all the networks from 40 miles south of Charlotte. Antenna cost equals zero. I love your show.
When buying an antenna: *Your mileage may vary.*
When I was a small child back in the late 1960's to early 1970's, our family moved into this village which within one year of our move got amalgamated into a much larger city. The guy who lived behind us had this GIANT 50 ft antenna tower in his backyard with three stacked antennas on top and a flag on top of that. Tyler it was a thing of beauty. When 1970 hit, the city told him he had to take the tower down which he did. He then moved to the country where he could set up a new GIANT antenna. At the time this guy got signals from Detroit, Cleveland and Erie, PA. Then cable came and that ended antennas in our once little village.
Tyler made me laugh when he threw the Junk Antenna. I wonder how hard I’ll laugh when he beats it with a 50 Pound Sledge.
I'm not buying a150 mile ray gun antenna. I'm holding out for the 152 mile version before I buy.
I have tried a bunch and that cheap 150 mile antenna has done the best for me. I tried a more expensive antenna and it did not do nearly as well. But then I tried changing the filter from the more expensive antenna to the cheaper one and the cheaper one's reception got even better. I believe the filter must be more important than the actual antenna. The cheaper antenna's rotation function failed really quickly but it was pointed in the right direction so it didn't hurt anything.
I bought an antenna from a rather strange man in a quaint shop full of curiosities. He told me I would be amazed at the channels I would be getting. I asked him how much he wanted for it, and he told me no one ever pays for anything in his shop. With money.
Well, nothing to read into there.
I took it home and installed it. Only got three channels broadcasting in analog, black and white, and 4:3 screen ratio. Lots of cigarette and liquor ads. Sometimes Rod Serling or Alfred Hitchcock seems to be speaking directly to me. I'll admit that's a little scary.
What?
I don't use OTA (unless it's 4G or Wifi.) I sub this channel and watch every new vid to see Antenna Man dish out the "Tough Love" to his viewers. This is a great channel!

I bought a flat TV antenna and it wouldn't pull in Channel 10 at all and I can see the TV transmitter! I sent it back to Amazon! Antenna Man is right about the junk Antennas being dump on the market!
I have that Wingard 7694P on a rotator. Get everything for my area and then some. Very pleased.
Thanks for the advice. Who sells a rotator separate? Any other instructions?
I use a cheap metal coat hanger across a plug in coax to screw on adapter and get most of my channels in my area. It's small and sits on the back of the TV right on the coax jack out of site just like and old UHF antenna.
I know he doesn't give much credit to that "150 mile" ant but me, my mom, brother and my friend has had nothing but great things to say about it. currently my mom lives 4 miles from me and i did a channel scan last week she was getting over 70 channels without having to turn it. we live in between the Columbia, SC and Augusta, GA markets. Now the cable that comes with it is junk but it will last about a year before it needs changing(all ready done that).for around $30, i think its pretty dang good. i haven't tried a regular ant with a signal booster to compare.
Keep up the good work!!!! 😃😃😃😃 It bounced!!😂😂😂
THE TV ANTENNAS THAT WERE USED IN THE 1970s STILL WORK WELL. THE ARROW SHAPED ANTENNAS THAT WE USED ON OUR ROOFS.
Exactly
Those are very sturdy antennas. The main problem with them is the balun since its terminals rust and break. No good!
cover the terminals w/ silicone or liquid electrical tape. it will last 30 yrs
They keep making them, that means they keep selling them. It all adds up to "they should have subscribed to your channel"
Do you think they buy them because they work pretty dam good. Gee 50 -60 mile range. The onn for 35 bucks. I know several people have this antenna and they like it and they live in a better area then I do but still 50 miles away.
Actually I bought a cheap'o years ago and it works perfectly fine but I didn't get because it said HD on it lol. I got cheap'o rotary also and it works perfectly fine but I did take it apart and put lock tight on the screws. I'm out in the country and 50 miles away and can pick channels up clear.
Almost 100k man. I remember when you were at 4K subs and doing GrubHub. Maybe I’ll run into you again in Bethlehem. Great video and good luck
I think it's crazy how far I came. Are you a GrubHub driver?
Antenna Man yup. I met you at the wawa by what was the sands. And you were talking about how much your channel has grown even back then.
my ping ding dong antenna does pretty darn good. most distant station is about 60 miles+- with hills. but it is 35` i dont have the room on my tower for a bigger TV antenna because it has to rotate and wouldn't be to good with a 5` +- arm hanging off of the tower. i have other two-way antennas. i got the ping ding dong antenna only because it is small.
Mine works pretty dam good for 35 bucks. It a onn. 50 - 60 miles away ABC NBC CBS FOX and others. I live in a hilly region
@@joeearley3351and Butter Bean . ditto I don't know why he's against the Ping Ding antenna. OUrs work great but we are near 2 major cities Washington DC & Baltimore MD
This whole "mileage" thing is something fairly unique to the US antenna market, and as Tyler mentions in this video, quite messed up.
seriously I don't care about antennas until now with this channel , good job I like your videos
I don't care what antenna I would buy. There is no way I could get anything but our LOS translators. Too many mountains between here and Portland (75 miles) and Seattle (125 miles). Love your reviews!
I live in Des Moines and the durecho storm hit us. Since then I am getting all the stations at the same time with all the leaves on the trees and in a river valley. ten miles from the towers.It is no coincidence any more. They simply turn down the signal when they feel like it to save a couple bucks on their power bill.
I have those PIng Ding rotating antennae and they're our attic . Had them for years and they work great for me. If I ever move to the country I'll get the ones you suggest.
Antennas are rated by dBi which stands for decibels over an isotropic. Most rabbit ears are 3 dBi which doubles the receive of an isotropic antenna. A Yagi or a log periodic will get you about 12 dBi. Antennas are never measured by miles, because that varies with the height of the antenna. Nonetheless, don't fall for any late night infomercial stuff when a plain old aerial will give you a kick ass signal.

What's the best way to pick up a fringe FM radio station that's far away, but broadcasts on the same frequency as a local channel? Is there a way to make a directional antenna that will only pick up stations within maybe 20-30 degree area? I'm asking because I can occasionally pick up some stations from southeastern Virginia from here in Baltimore since there's virtually no obstructions up the Chesapeake bay other than curvature of the earth. They tend to come in anywhere from a few seconds up to roughly an hour, then get overpowered by closer stations. If I drive to a certain part of I695, theres an area right near the water with a big concrete wall I can park next to and receive these stations sometimes with almost no interference from local stations. Occasionally the signal is strong enough to display radio data and even grab the HD signal. I have a video of this i'll upload to youtube shortly. I understand I can easily tune in online, but where's the fun in that? Thanks for reading
I don’t remember mile ranges on antennas until fairly recently.
Waaaaay back in days gone by, I remember seeing range numbers of perhaps 40-50 miles. I think the crooks started claiming higher and higher numbers so the competent makers gave up on the ratings. The only number that means anything is the gain in dB but that is complicated.
Just bought an Antop Big Boy with the VHF elements and put it inside my bedroom and it works pretty good.
Well, at the very least, make sure you buy a _color_ antenna! :D
I remember ads that claimed "color TV antenna".
Yes I have been around for a while.
In 1979 when the superior travelling analogue was around made my own antenna at Robinvale VICTORIA put it up 30 ft Kingray 20 db amp and AUSTRALIAN VHF CH 6 Ballarat around 176 MHz at 250 miles due to transmitter being on a high mtn and nothing in between
I bought my mother a Radio Shack Omni directional antenna several years ago before Radio shack filed bankruptcy. Her antenna brings in 20-30 channels plus it's up to 35' from the ground. It works just fine for her. I only wish that Radio Shack hadn't gone out of business. Because I would have bought more of them. Better than cable or satellite. Sorry I don't really remember what kind it was.
When HD first came out I bought one of those there was no indoor indicator that told you were it was pointing and the rotor had no brake every time we got some wind it got blown around found a two antenna unit that could be set at both directions and I also got a good booster. Much better than that awful thing ! A out fit called solid single sells good high quality antennas .
The only way that 150 mile range claim could possibly be true is if you live between the Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn which has strong constant tropospheric ducting from direct sunlight
NICEGUY69 even when I lived in Orlando I frequently got channels from Gainsville, or Palm Beach during the summer months.
Satelites.
Mile rated antennas don't work at all in Europe where they measure in kilometers
I must be the luckiest guy on the face of the curvature planet. I pick up stations with an antenna sitting 3 feet from the ground 100 miles away.
Not tv stations
@@wallacegrommet9343 Yes TV Station. I live in King, NC which is about 100 miles away from Charlotte, NC and I'm able to get all of those channels. From my home to Charlotte Airport is 98 miles. Also If I point my antenna to Raleigh I can get a few of those channels as well but not all expect at night when reception is very good. Raleigh Airpot is about 109 miles away. I also use an antenna and signal booster both made by channel master on a pole 3 feet above the ground. Plus, I have a clear plain site that helps and live on higher ground. 100 seems to be my limit for consistent channels. 110 is iffy. I thought about moving the antenna to top of the house for Raleigh stations but, most of the channels are just repeated CBS, FOX, NBC, ABC, etc...
That’s amazing. The terrain must be flat in the direction of the broadcast towers. Elevation does work wonders, too.

@@jayp3564 Your terrain sounds a lot like mine. Top of the hill, and nice line-of-sight. I'm a 900+ feet above Denver, so that helps, but your position in North Carolina is probably good for Tropo.
I did buy tht 150 mile atena one that you show here it seems to be getting good reception in about 20 good clear channels I got to say I'm happy with that but if there's a different atena of that I missed that I would get even more channels than that that would be good to know as well
PG ROAD GLIDE yes ditto. I have that PING DING antenna and get so many clear channels. We live between Washington DC & Baltimore MD
The leadzm TA-102M works pretty good though for it's size. There are plenty of reviews here on TH-cam that rate it as a good antenna. The only problem I have run into is the built in booster fails quite often, however that can be bypassed by removing the built in booster and replacing it with copper wire and an external antenna mount booster.
Isn’t HD just marketing BS said the elephant in the room!!🤨
Yes ;no such thing as a hd antenna
I like the 1000 mile antenna. -:) That way I can get TV from LA, SF, Denver, SLC, Portland, Seattle, Vancouver BC.
LOL. The fine print should be like: "Must require extreme height or experience in Earth-Moon Bouncing".
Considering the curvature of the earth, if the antenna was on a mountain top that 200+ miles may be fairly regular. Some Tropo's though, but probably pretty regular. Antennas on a hill in Astoria OR got regular Seattle TV at nearly 150 miles. Decent picture too.
@@patrickmartin4996 Definitely true, I'm up on a residential hill, and so 100 miles is a normal range of reception. There are a few folks in Eastern WA state that can consistently pick up Seattle and Portland. Tropo routinely makes it to 200 miles here on the Front Range, and let's not forget e-skip! Thanks for pointing this out to me
@@zgsrandomnesshub7561 On the hills in Astoria OR, up a couple hundred feet, viewers can still get some Seattle stations to lock, depending on where they are. Used to be during analog days, all of the VHF, Low & high were quite decent, and that is close to 150 miles, But Portland at 75 air miles is blocked by mountains. The hills between Astoria & Seattle are not all that high.
I found a good use for those flat indoor antennas - cut off the cable and use as a mouse pad!!!

The amplifier and built in rotator work great also andcare a plus. And for less than $40.00 dollars free shipping and Amazon o Hassel prim warranty. It a great Bargain. Easy set up and stow away. I have not been disappointed.
It works in strong signal areas even if you think you're in a "rural location." It works for a few months then the preamp and rotator fail. It's junk.

The Earth is not flat.
The Earth is concave , like a bowl.
A ball rolls around on the inside and makes gravity.
the mileage ratings on cheap antennas are just like the wattage ratings on cheap amps and speakers
“oh this amplifier will produce 5,000 watts”
...yeah, maybe if gets struck by lightning
“oh this antenna will get 150 mile range”
...yeah, maybe from the top of mt. everest!
remeber everyone not all of us are 40 miles away im 60 miles aeay nyc 9 stories high signals still come go shared signals causing issues not just cell towers
Why can't I find an antenna like the Channel Master Quantum 1160a anymore? A true performer. Great for DX. Everything built today is poor quality in comparison.
Over the horizon is why the Navy continued to build mast works long after the sails were gone. The higher the mast or antenna, you have both optical and radio range superiority.
I want to share an experience. My first antenna was one of those plastic flat ones. When I installed it and moved it from here to there I was only getting some channels if I put in one side and others if I moved it to the other side, but when it fell flat on the table, instead of the vertical way I was trying, I started getting even more channels than I was when I was trying to get a good location. I don't know why
Always great info, clear, well presented. I use the miles as a guide to how honest the seller is. There are probably loads of people laughing at how stupid people are by putting 1000 mile range. Don't deal with these crooks. I prefer an under rated mile of 50 but still get 75 miles reliably.
Thank you so much for this!
If you have stations in opposite directions you could receive stations 150 miles apart (if the antenna were 150' above the ground)... Voila! 150 mile range! 8-) and if you point the antenna at the moon, you might receive a signal by moonbounce... Voila! 990 or 1000 or... Mile range! Like the 20, 30, or 50 mile bubble-pack walkie-talkies that really only have a 3-5 Mile range unless you are talking between two mountaintops or "125W" stereo amps that output 45W RMS per channel (or CB radios that supposedly put out more than the legal 5W) - the peak-to-peak voltage of an alternating current sine wave is 2.818 x RMS (the average of the highs and lows which represents the actual work it can do...) so if you convert RMS to P-P it "sounds" much bigger than it really is... 8-) in short, divide claims by three or more to find the truth 8-) (legit tv antenna makers like Winegard and Channel.Master use either the EIA color-code or an equivalent mileage rating that represents an average minimum real-world range I.e. the "45mile" Winegard will usually give good reception 45+ miles from a VHF or UHF tower on the rooftop while the PingDingDong might detect a UHF signal up to 50 miles away if it's 35+ feet above the ground...)
Tyler,

Need help and get ready to call me a lier. It's Monday September the 13. 2021 my problem started last eve. All of a sudden I lost Local channels (live half way between indy and Cincinnati) but I started picking up channels from Saint Louis. Went to weather radar to see if anything would be causing a skip. Any ideal what's going on. Saint Louis is 250+ miles away. Don't make sense
My market has 2 locations that split the UHF and VHF signals in different directions. I currently am using the HD stacker antenna by Dennys Antenna service. It works well, but do you know of a better omnidirectional unit?
there are not really any good omnidirectional antennas out there. You are trying to get TV stations from different directions you either need a rotator or a two antenna setup
@@AntennaMan Thanks for the feedback. My HD stacker is a 2 antenna system and it works as you say.
Any chance your'er going to review one of Danny Hodges Antenna's?
I bought it. It takes a long time for me to make the reviews but you'll probably see it in the next month or two.

Technically an antenna could get 1000 miles, but only for radio. And even then the station has to be broadcasting at a sufficient power.
And operating below 30 Mhz

20 miles out of Boston and I can pick up five local stations without an antenna. What type of indoor antenna do I get to improve the range as sometimes the channels come in buffered? Fred
i use rabbit ears in my APT,
With all due respect, you never covered the center frequency. Different countries use different frequencies for TV broadcast and whilst one may perform better in your area and another not so well, go across the pond and the roles may be reversed.
You need an antenna that is tuned to the frequency of the broadcast you're after.
My small, home-made Yagi can talk with the ISS on only 5W of power. Yet, it does really crap at picking up the Freeview 520MHz broadcasts. The ISS was over 1000km away at the time and the tower for TV 30 miles. Go figure.
Ok what about Klickitat Washington it's in a canon 13 miles up twenty miles from a town. I do not know of anyone who can get local channels I am retired and would love to know what might work there Please Please let me know?
Custom antenna recommendations can be requested at the link below:

The mile range is a BS rating made in America for marketing purposes. It is just a gimmick. The true indicator for antenna (Rx) performance is gain (dBi) in passive (raw) or active (amplified) mode in response to its frequency range. If you look at the specs of serious antenna manufacturers such as Televes (Spain), Fracarro (Italy) o Maspro (Japan) you will notice they use GAIN as the key factor for antennae comparisons.
when wil u review czech dvt 2 and dvt antenntas
Can we also get into Building our own UHF antennas, like plans how to space the directors, the length of the directors, the size of the pickup element, the size of the reflector, etc. I'm a professional installer, I have a need to make high quality antenna that last and bring in stations. Also can you divide the channel into Beginners and professionals, people that are more experienced do not need to know about UHF and VHF we know the difference, etc. Professionals need leading edge into to enhance our skills. So start another channel for the more advanced person. I don't need to listen to beginner info.
I do have playlists on my channel to make it easier for people to find a video topic they are looking for.
