Motorized Outdoor HDTV Antenna With 20% More Gain| Best Value!

The BA2605 has more gain than the BA2805 so it is going to be able to get better reception and pick up signals better than the BA2805.

This unit has been tested and is working properly. It comes with our 30 day warranty.

This is the most powerful outdoor HDTV antenna that we carry. By looking at the VHF and UHF gain, you can see how much power the antenna has.

The antenna comes with a built-in rotor (motor), which can turn a full 360 degrees using the infrared remote control included in the package. Since the antenna can be aimed in any particular direction, you will be able to pick up TV signals much better than with a regular antenna. This is the perfect solution for any rural or suburban area. We have sold over 10,000 units to our customers, please read some of their reviews in the customer review section.

Customer Review
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

Outdoor HDTV Antenna HD2605-HD2805 BA2605-BA2805 Installation Self-Testing

Frequently Asked Questions

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!

Frequent ask questions:

Q1: Which antenna do you recommend for me?

Q2: What's the difference between HD2605/HD2805/BA2605/BA2805?

Q3: There are no channels shown up after I install your antenna. (How to get signals within 40 mile and rescan channels?)

Q4: How to install converter box with my antenna to the TV set?

Q5: No power on the control box?

Q6: Remote no light up?

Q7: Can not rotate the Antenna?

Q1: Which antenna do you recommend for me?

A:

To know how far the broadcasting towers are from your location. Go to http://www.antennaweb.org/ click the "Choose an antenna" button and then type in your location detail or go to http://www.tvfool.com/index.php. Then the page will show you a list of channels.
If the broadcasting towers listed are within 40 miles from your location, we will recommend you the Indoor Antenna BA-700. If it's between 50 to 150 miles, we will recommend you HD-2605 or HD-2805 Outdoor Antennas.

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 150miles; to pick up signals within 40 miles, see Q3
HD2605(RED Color Zone Antenna): 50 to 150 miles; for those who really need more gain from your location

Q2: What are the differences between HD2605/HD2805/BA2605/BA2805?
A:

BA series are exactly the same with HD series. HD series are our 2010 new models.
(which means BA 2605 = HD2605 and BA 2805 = HD 2805)

If you see a R after the part number(BA2605R, BA2805R), those are our referbished items.

The differences between HD-2605 and HD-2805 are:
1. HD-2605 has more gain than HD-2805 which means HD-2605 is more powerful on receiving signals than HD-2805. HD-2605 is best for towers 50-150 miles from your place.
2. The input signal to your TV for HD-2805 is stronger than HD-2605.
3. Dimension: HD-2605 is smaller than HD-2805.
4. HD-2805 is more easily to assemble compared to HD-2605. But it doesn't mean HD-2605 is that complicated to assemble together. Basically it just need more time to figure it out.

Here it doesn't mean that either one is better than the other. They are featureing on different function. So it all depends on users' demands. And lastly you need a converter box for traditional analog TV sets.

Q3: There are no channels shown up after I install your antenna. (How to get signals within 40 mile and rescan channels?)
A: (Partial contents are extracted from antennaweb.org)
If you would like to get the channels from stations within 40 miles away from your place, you can use the antenna without turning on the power on the control box with switch OFF. Then the signal will not be that strong. If you would like to get the channels from stations between 40 miles to 150 miles away from your place, you will have to turn on the amplifier with switch ON.

Don't forget to always rescan your converter box or TV set for channels when installing equipment. While some boxes do this automatically, you may need to select "scan" manually.

Using the remote control for your converter box or digital TV select "menu" or "setup" or some similar term. Now select "scan," "channel scan," "auto scan," or "auto program."

From there, select "OK," "auto scan," or "channel scan" and wait while your converter box or digital TV searches for all the channels available to you in your area.

Once complete, you should be able to select the channels you want using the proper remote. For TVs connected to a converter box, the remote control for the converter box (not the TV) should be used to change channels.

Q4: How to install converter box with my antenna to the TV set?
A:
If you don't have a HDTV set, you'll need to have a converter box for your analog TV sets
For information about how to install your converter box, go to FCC website here

Q5: No power on the control box?
A:

If there is no power on the control box, it may be problem on the Power adapter or the control box. You can test the power adapter to see if the adapter is OK or not first. If your adapter is still work, then the problem should be with the control box. If your adapter does not have any output, then the adapter may be defective. You can contact us to replace the defective part under the Warranty period.

Q6: Remote no light up?
A:

If your remote control does not light up when you press the button, open the batteries holder to check the batteries. Replace the batteries to try again. If you change to new batteries and the remote still not light up, the remote may be defective and need to be replaced.

Q7:Can not rotate the Antenna?
A:

The Antenna is designed with rotor motor inside. The Rotor is controlled by the signal from the control box inside your house. If you install the Antenna and can get signal but can not rotate the Antenna, you need to test the rotate button on the control box.
Tape your finger on the rotation button on the control box, if the green light flash on, then the control box should work OK and control your Antenna, check the connection wire make sure that all the cables are connect correctly.
If you tape your finger on the Rotation button and the green light not on, it means the control rotation circuit has problem with the box. You need to contact us for replace of the control box.
If your control box can control the rotation but the remote can not. Check the problem 2 to see if your remote light up normal first. If your remote light up when you press the button but the Control box did not response, then may be the remote or the control box has problem. You can contact us to replace the remote first.

	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
