Customer Reviews
I am very pleased with my 2605 HD Antennae. I live in Ceylon MN. I am basically out in the sticks. I chose the 2605 Model because the closest tower is in Jackson MN. That tower does rebroadcasts on low power transmitters. Jackson is 30 miles away from Ceylon. I get all 26 stations off the Jackson tower which is more than I need. I am very happy. I recommend the 2605 for anyone in Ceylon or the surrounding area.todd...@frontier.com
Product works as advertised. Smaller than expected as compared to comprable Radio Shack unit. g...@hughes.net
Product was easy to order, and arrived in a very timely manner. fr...@yahoo.com
I just got one of these antennas and it works real well just holding it out in the yard so my daughter told me to order her one.su...@yahoo.com
It has performed very good. There are two metro areas where many TV stations are located and I can pull in all VHF stations and 3 UHF stations from those areas. However, I am located atop a 700 foot hill that is probably higher than other hills or forested areas. I would say it was a good buy.gi...@msn.com
I live about 30-35 miles from the towers in a neighborhood with lots of trees. The HDTV Antenna added 10-15 points to the signal strength of all the stations it is pointed at and so far not a single drop out or lost signal.ty...@yahoo.com

YES! The antenna works on any standard TV or HDTV. You can use your analog TVs but at the same time have the access to digital TV broadcasts.
YES! HDTV broadcasts quality is often superior to the quality of the same HD programs received through a paid satellite subscription. Not only the quality is better, OTA HDTV is free of charge. To pick up HD signals you will need a HD antenna.
YES! HD antennas are much easier on the budget. Take a look at our HDTV Antenna selection.
YES!Over 90% of HDTV broadcasts are on the UHF band. Unless there are HDTV broadcasts on the VHF band in your area, don't bother with VHF antennas. These antennas are typically of much bigger size, more expensive and more difficult to install. In principle, you can buy a VHF/UHF antenna to cover both bands
YES!If you want to pick up signals coming from different directions you need either two directional antennas or an antenna rotator.
Three easy set up steps:
Step 1: Connect the hdtv antenna to the coaxial antenna (ANT IN) port and turn your TV to the proper input. (usually indicated as Source or Input on your remote)
Step 2: Turn your TV to an HD over-the air channel (find available HD channels) and hold your hdtv antenna in various positions to find the ideal permanent spot.
Step 3: Enjoy free HD! If you have any other questions.Send us a email.
HD2605 is a much stronger antenna unit. For some reasons, it might affect picking up signals which is not too far from user's location. So if most of the broadcasting towers are within 40-50 miles, usually we would recommend our indoor antenna (i.e. BA700) or outdoor antenna(HD-2805).
Also due to various restrictions, we cannot guarantee that which channels you can pick up. Overall, BA700, HD600, BA200, All Indoor Antennas(GREEN Color Zone Antennas): within 40 miles HD2805(RED Color Zone Antenna): 40 to 100 miles or more; to pick up signals within 40 miles, see Q3 HD2605(RED Color Zone Antenna): 50 to 150 miles or more; for those who really need more gain from your location
Q2: What are the differences between HD2605/HD2805/BA2605/BA2805? A:
Small Multi-directional antenna: The smallest of TV antennas, they receive equally well from all directions. In yellow color code areas where signal strength is highest and away from reflecting structures or low areas. Best antenna type BA-200 │ BA-463 │ HD-600
Medium Multi-directional: Somewhat larger and slightly more powerful Best antenna type. Green color code areas. An amplified antenna is recommended in the green area anytime a long (20 feet or more) cable run from the antenna is required, or when more than one device (TV or VCR) is to be used with an antenna. They work best away from reflecting structures or low areas.BA-200 │ HD-600
Large Multi-directional/Small Directional: Bigger in size, these antennas receive more signal power. Better for greater distances from signal source and areas with low signal strength. antennas are needed in a light green zone. These antennas are capable of receiving weaker HDTV signals when no significant multipath (ghost) conditions exist, i.e no reflective structures nearby. When mounted at rooftop heights (30 feet or higher) outdoors, amplified antennas can be used in light green color code areas away from reflecting structures or low areas. Best antenna typeBA-700 │ BA-230
Medium DirectionalMost popular rooftop antenna because of its modest size and ghost reducing characteristics. If there are ghost producing reflective structures near TV receiver antenna location, this kind of antenna is best for yellow, green, light green and red color code areas. Amplified antennas with rooftop mounting can be used with the blue color code. Best antenna typeHD-2605 │ HD2805 │ BA2605 │ BA2805
Large Directional:Large antennas used in weak signal areas for maximum possible TV reception. Can be used in any color code area, but requires an amplifier and roof mounting for blue and violet color codes. Amplifiers are not recommended for yellow color codes. Best antenna typeHD2605 │ BA2605

Before you install the HDTV antenna, we recommends you to complete the self-test following the step below.
1. If you plug the AC Adapter and connect to the control unit box, you should first see a red light is on on your control unit box. 2. Once you connect the control unit box(a port on the box named ANT) to your antenna with a cable, now you should see the red light is on on your antenna. If not, you can test again with different cable to see if the problem is caused from the cable. 3. After making sure both red light are on, everytime when you press the button on the control unit box, you can see a green light is on on the control unit box and your antenna should be rotating.
Above is a self-test instruction. Basically, you can test to see if your antenna set works without connecting the antenna to your TV set unless you're testing if any signals picked up by the antenna.
After you assemble all the parts correctly, the antenna should rotate about 360 degree and stop then rotate reversely by pressing the button on the unit box.
Or you can change the direction by double clicking the button.
If your antenna didn't rotate, you can find out the problem easily from the steps above.
When you contact us asking for technical support, we appreciate if you can include a little details about which step above the error shows, so that we can more accurately diagnose the factor of problem your antenna might have.
For best result, the distance between the control unit box and your TV set should be within 20 ft. And the distance between the antenna and the control unit box should be within 50 ft.
