In this video I review the following antenna: "Digital HDTV Antenna - Includes Magnetic Base and Coaxial Cable - 50 Mile Range - Indoor or Outdoor." It costs less than $20 on Amazon and claims a 50 mile range. How well does it actually work?

    Doing the good work to keep us informed on which antennas are junk or not! I like that you tested them all in the same spot on the same day.
  • @roxcyn
    I will look forward to hearing about the other indoor antennas.
  • @neil6958
    I got this antenna about 7 years ago. It's a portable antenna, that needs an amplifier. It's good for emergency.
  • I bought that antenna ages ago for the "hurricane tv" that we run on the generator after storms. It gets only two channels consistently but we do get the channel we watch for news. I'll be interested to see how your other indoor antennas perform.
  • @weeziemarklen
    I used this antenna works well for outdoor usages. I am able to get all the major channels. This works well outside not inside. I purchased this antenna to watch TV outside. I highly recommend this antenna for outdoor usages as well as with a RV or a trucker, which my brother used while he is on the road.

    i’m excited to see your indoor antenna test series, to see if any of these coming up might work at our place. This one I don’t think would because we once had a flat antenna I had gotten from Amazon and it didn’t do very well. So I would expect about the same with this one. Just for your information, I just found out thatATSC3.0 just launched here in the greater Flint Michigan area with all five major network stations that was supposed to be carrying that and the old standard as of today. I do plan at some point to get a tuner to see how well our sky blue eight bay outdoor antenna works with it because we actually have that unit pointed towards Detroit, so we would actually I think be able to receive the Flint and Detroit new TV standard. Thought you may want to pass it on to other viewers living in our neck of the woods. Great video and excellent information as usual.

    I have had the Luxtronic antenna for over a year. It is attatched the back of my tv in my bedroom. I have been pleased with it performance as I get about 73 channels using it.
  • @jonathanzappala
    I’m looking forward to this series. It’s good to get people started, that’s how I got my start. And they a great for people needing fewer mini boxes in their house, now that cable companies have found the way to prevent theft and charge you more money in the process.
  • @ghiggs8389
    I have this on 2 of my TV's, one of those I have 2 with a splitter on it as it's in the middle of the house. These work better than any of the other antennas I've had plus they stay out of sight real easy.
  • @PC4USE1
    Those of us who are apartment dwellers anticipate these indoor antenna reviews-currently using an old RCA rabbit ear loop antenna (with a distribution amp for my room and the HD Homerun). Am about 10 to 12 miles from towers and it works pretty well but always interested in better equipment.
  • @Bad.Skunky
    I had a feeling these were too good to be true. Thanks Antenna Man!
  • @salmack8842
    I tried this antenna,the magnet works Great,not so much the antenna! great video Tyler.
  • @slimsherman5818
    Tyler, great info as usual, what do know about the Ultra link antenna. Thanks
  • @pancudowny
    It resembles the one included with my RCA portable TV/DVD-Player... and the only way that got a decent amount of channels while attached to a metal light fixture [hanging from the ceiling], while seated in a funeral parlor in Winfield, IL.

    "A few feet can..." shoot i had a situation where the difference between picture and no picture was .1 inches. Granted the signal margin was calculated at -3dB. I seriously had my compass out trying to plot out the exact angle needed so the reflectors were orthongangol to the broadcast tower. That was a tough signal to get, but so glad I spent the time to get it. Turned out to be a reliable signal since I had an antenna dedicated to that one signal. I had anther general antenna for all the other UHF signals with tuned filters to avoid the two antennas from producing wave forms that would cancel each other out. I then had a VHF hi antenna and a VHF lo antenna for FM signals. The FM antenna had an anti FM trap filter, theres a real term for it just cant remember at the moment, so it wouldn't create harmonics over the other 3 antennas. So yes I had 3 pre-amplifiers for a 4 antenna setup with a powered distribution splitter. Just so I could have something to watch from time to time in college.
  • @pokepress
    I'd recommend getting one that is telescopic with a swivel. Gives you a better chance of getting VHF stations, and you can angle it to improve reception.
