- Will it work where I live?
- It is rated for about 40 miles from broadcast towers. Closer, unobstructed homes get the most channels; hills, tall buildings and distance cut that down.
- Does it need power or an amplifier?
- No. It is a passive antenna that connects to your TV or set-top box with a coax cable and draws no power.
- Does it pick up both VHF and UHF channels?
- Yes. It covers both bands, so it can receive the full mix of local network and subchannels in your area.
- Can I mount it on a wall?
- It is designed for tabletop use with the included stand, placed upright or flat. It is not built for outdoor or roof mounting.
- What comes in the box?
- The flat panel antenna and the stand for vertical or horizontal placement. Check that your TV or box has a coax input.
- Is it good as a backup during outages?
- Yes. It needs no internet or subscription, so it can keep local broadcasts coming in when cable or satellite service drops.
