Customer Reviews
As expected, the Channel Master Advantage 100 works better than expected. Where I was getting 51 channels with a small, in the attic, antenna I am now getting 81 channels. Local UHF stations that only came in occasionally are now clear with above 53 signal strength 100% of the time. Stations that were too weak to pick up now come in clear also. I am also getting stations passed the 75-mile range.
I had no problems getting the antenna unfolded and mounted 25' in the air and onto the house. I am a very happy camper with this antenna.
I live in the middle of the Ozark mountains. Right at 100 miles from tv towers. After easy installation. Pulled in 49 different channels. Well built product not cheap plastic parts. Service was quick and accurate.
First customer service is second to none. The antenna, advantage 100 was working but snowy at times. Customer service figured out I had it set up backwards ;-). I installed (Dec23) the antenna in my garage attic, and the reception is excellent. It even held up perfectly through our first hurricane, with no loss in signal. I’m saving a lot of money and highly recommend it! We are about 60 miles from the tv towers.
I was a little surprised when I opened the shipping box because the antenna was very large. However, with the antenna setup on the ground and connecting it to the coaxial cable, I was receiving over 20 clear, non-pixelating channels. Much better than any other antenna I used before (one cost over $100). I can only imagine how it will perform when I install it on the mast and properly align it. All of our TV broadcast antennas are over 60 miles away and we live on a heavily wooded lot. I highly recommend the Advantage 100.
It is a large antenna and after insrall, I receive the channels that I anticipated. I receive more than the .gov web site lists for my address. Installation was a bit scary because I mounted it on +/- 30 foot pole along side of my single story house. So be certain to get help. I had 1 other person and would have felt better with 2. When you get a pole that high up, and you are only 5'10", it gets dicey.
