To protect your house and your TV installation, your antenna system must be properly grounded. (Coaxial Grounding Block included)
1, Clamp a#10 copper or #8 aluminum grounding wire to the base of the antenna mast. Using stand-offs every 1.2m to 1.8m /4 to 6 feet, run the wire down the building in as straight a line as possible.
2, Attach a 300-Ohm static discharge unit (lightning arrestor) or a 75-Ohm grounding block to the antenna’s lead-in cable as close as possible to the point where the cable enters the house.
3, Attach the grounding wire to the lead-in cable’s grounding unit and run the wire to the central building ground.
Acceptable central building ground points may include:
Grounded interior metal cold water pipe within 1.5m/ 5 feet of the point where it enters the building Grounded metallic service raceway
Grounded electrical service equipment enclosure
2.4m / 8foot grounding rod driven into the ground (only if bonded to the central building ground by #6 or heavier bonding wire)
Other acceptable electrodes that comply with the sections 250 and 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC)
Note: TV signal reception is immensely affected by the conditions such as antenna height, terrain, distance from broadcasting transmission antenna and output power of transmitter. Channels you can watch may vary depending on these conditions.

And if you’re looking for a cable-style TV schedule, "TitanTV" is a free Web service that lists local programming.
Please Note:
1. For flatscreen HDTVs, please check the TV's manual to make sure the TV has a built-in tuner for receiving over-the-air broadcast, and make sure this tuner can receive HD signals or else it will not be able to receive and watch HD channels.
2.Retune your TV and/or digital box from time to time to ensure you are receiving all available services. Retuning takes only a few minutes using the remote control.
3.Antenna signal strength can vary depending on distance from the tower, terrain, and weather. Reposition the antenna in a different location if needed. It is best for the antenna to be in line of sight with the TV tower(s) and avoid obstructions. Always re-scan for channels after moving the antenna.
4. If your TV has no built-in tuner, you can add an ATSC digital converter box to receive the HD signal.

Title: Good antenna for the money
Review: The antenna was easy to assemble and mount. The instructions were pretty clear. Once it was hooked up, I began searching for the best signal. That took a bit of practice, because the motor turns in one direction until it reaches the endpoint, then reverses, and it moves pretty fast. I found it was best to move in small jumps, then wait for the signal to catch up. I eventually found the spot I was looking for. The antenna also has a built-in amplifier, which improves the signal a lot. All in all, a very good product.

Title: Works well. Excellent customer service.
Review: I purchased three of these units (one for the house, one for the workshop and one for the RV.All worked well, and set up easily. They are light in weight and have a small footprint which minimizes wind load on an antenna pole.POWER:NOTE: The power source is 15 VAC which means if using in a mobile setup such as the RV, then an AC source will be needed to power the control box and pre-amp. Small current demand is 120VAC 210 mA / 15 VAC 300 mA using the supplied wall wart power supply. So a small 300 watt or larger inverter is adequate for the mobile 12 VDC to 120 VAC conversion.The coax line between the control box and the antenna must not have any splitters in line. It can have couplers and extension coax. This is because the power for the rotator and pre-amp in the antenna runs over the coax line.AIMING:The rotator only has one control button on the control box and only one on the remote. Eitheh one can be used to rotate the antenna. There is not a left and right button, just one button. So depressing the button to rotate the antenna is somewhat unpredictable which way it will turn. If you overshoot and wish to swing back a little, the next press of the rotate button may swing back, or swing further in the original direction. This can be overcome by having a visual line of sight to the antenna so you can see which way it rotates each time you press the button.NOTE: antenna stays in position if power is lost to the control box (and thus also to the antenna). So it should not be necessary to reposition the antenna after a power outage.CUSTOMER SERVICE:Of the three units I purchased, one was fine. One had some small dents in two of the small "folded dipoles" and one had a serious kink in one of the larger dipoles. service@ pingbingding (Bill) was very prompt replying to my email for warranty parts, and I had a replacement within 3 days! 5-star service.PERFORMANCE:Before I mounted the three antennas in their elevated positions on antenna poles. I tested each one at ground level in my home, resting on a microphone pole at about 3 feet height, indoors. At 35 miles from the nearest station, I was able to pull in over 60 channels in my metro area! Impressive. When I mounted the house antenna up on its pole rising above the roof (antenna now at about 20 feet elevation above ground), several more stations were picked up, the farthest being about 70 miles away in an adjacent state.The rotator is very smooth in operation and relatively quiet. Likely I will do little or no rotating of the house and workshop antennas - set and forget. The RV one likely will be rotated often each use. I like the compact size of the antenna especially for easy transport, setup, and pack up for the RV use since it will be left mounted to the RV during travel.COST:Very nice price for a complete system including 50 ft of high quality coax line with superior coax plugs and weather boots on each end, an F-56 coupler to add an extension coax if needed, two TV outputs (oen with cord pre-attached, one with F-56 jack), remote control rotator, wall power adaptor, cable ties to secure coax, grounding block to mount and ground the coax line, mounting clamps and U-bolts.

Title: Simple assembly, great reception
Review: Although it looks like a throw-back to yester-year, this unit works great with over-the-air reception. I was expecting to get the 23 or so channels my old antenna brought in. I was very surprised to get nearly 60. Of course we are on flat land, although there are trees about. I have this mounted just under 20' in the air, and most of the channels are very clear, and some extremely clear. Much clearer than my old antenna.One real plus is it can be rotated from my comfortable chair inside. On the other hand, there is no indicator showing it's direction, and one never knows what direction it will take when rotating. Fortunately for me I can stand at the back door and access the receiver through the door while watching the antenna rotate.I don't really care for the red light that stays on the receiver, and a good thing is it turns off with a switch so nights when I want that room dark I can turn it off.There is a light on the antenna as well, so the neighbors wonder 'what's that light up there?' and most of them never knew one could get over-the-air tv. Interesting.UPDATE: August 26, 2023 - The rotor motor for this stopped working about three weeks ago. I kept thinking maybe I had an issue with wires, or heat, or something, but it continues to refuse to operate. So unless there is something else wrong, you should expect just about one year out of the rotator motor, plus or minus time, as each unit has it's own limitation. I'm not real pleased about this, as we need to turn the antenna depending on what station we watch. One has to go outside and turn the mast by hand, which can be done, but at the cost of loosening the mounting clamp so as to permit movement. Not the best scenario.

Title: Works great!
Review: I connected this antenna up and immediately got 121 channels! Picture is clear and crisp. I was very impressed. After connecting it to a device to stream it to 5 TVs I can now watch and record local channels from any of my TVs!Iâm not sure everyone has the ability to get the same reception, but you can check online at the FCC website to see If your address is in the line of reception for local channels. Bye bye cable bills!

Title: Works like a charm.
Review: easy to set up and this antenna has received channels I wasn't getting from my large bow tie antenna. I get stations from a tower that is 92 miles away in L.A.I was on the roof constantly adjusting my old antenna but w/ this one... I just pushthe button on on the remote and can tune it from my tv room. ( helps that I can seeit out my window while it moves.) Hope it lasts for years and it would be well worth the $
