- Will it work 50 miles from the towers?
- That is the rated maximum, and it assumes few obstructions. In practice most owners get reliable results well inside that distance, and hills, walls and trees cut it further.
- Does it need power?
- Yes. The amplifier is built in, so the antenna needs a power outlet to run at full strength.
- Does it receive VHF as well as UHF?
- Yes. GE rates it for both VHF and UHF channels, plus 1080p and 4K broadcasts.
- What does the LTE filter do?
- It blocks 4G and 5G cell signals that can otherwise show up as interference on nearby channels.
- Is it better than a plain passive antenna?
- It adds amplification and filtering, which helps in weak-signal spots. A passive antenna can be the better pick if you live very close to strong transmitters.
- Can I use it outdoors?
- It is designed as an indoor antenna. For fringe areas or long distances, an outdoor antenna is the more reliable choice.
