Our take on the Magic Stick TV MS-50A Digital HD Indoor Antenna

The Magic Stick TV MS-50A is a portable amplified indoor antenna for VHF and UHF digital and HD broadcasts. It claims 20 dBi gain and a 70-mile range, and its compact stick shape is meant to sit on a shelf or window ledge and move between rooms, a vehicle or a boat. Owners report mixed results: some in strong-signal areas pick up many channels, while others near the edge of coverage get few or none. It is a low-cost way to try over-the-air TV, but a rooftop or attic antenna will usually beat it on weak signals.

Questions and answers

Does the MS-50A really reach 70 miles?
That figure is a best-case claim. Real range depends on terrain, building materials and transmitter power. Most buyers get reliable results within roughly 30 to 40 miles of towers, and fewer channels farther out.
Do I need to power the amplifier?
Yes. The amplifier needs power, so plan for a nearby outlet and route the cable accordingly. You can sometimes bypass the amplifier for very strong local signals.
Will it pick up VHF channels as well as UHF?
It is designed for both VHF and UHF. VHF elements are small on a stick antenna, so low-VHF stations may come in weaker than UHF ones.
Can I use it outdoors or in an RV?
It is built for indoor use but is portable enough for an RV, boat or vehicle. It is not weatherproof, so keep it sheltered and away from metal surfaces that block signal.
What is in the box?
Expect the antenna, its amplifier and a coaxial cable. Check the listing for cable length and whether a power adapter is included, since bundles vary.
Is it better than a rooftop antenna?
No. A rooftop or attic antenna has larger elements and a clearer path to towers, so it will outperform this stick in weak-signal areas. The MS-50A suits strong-signal homes and portable use.
