This, alongside the contributing factor of the 360 degrees rotation feature, further allows for a wider reception of signals. Another intuitive thing about this antenna is that it comes with a built-in smart chip known as ‘intelligent gain’, that not only adequately contributes to its effectiveness but also assists with adjustability, when it comes to signal reception; thus, delivering high-quality imagery when needed.

Additionally, the Five Star Outdoor Digital Amplified HD TV antenna has been built with a special functionality operated by enhanced reflector panels that facilitates the receiving of signals with extremely high resolution. What’s more, the quality ranges to 1080P HD with great reception and for extreme viewing pleasure, this antenna provides up to 4000 channels, giving unlimited choices for users to select from.

The RCA Yagi is a very robust, sturdy and incredibly feature rich antenna. Don’t let it’s classic, old school design fool you, it’s suped up with very 2017 technology.

The antenna has a unique cross-phase, multi-element design which enables you to receive dramatically enhanced reception, resulting in a lot more channels. On the topic of channels, this thing receives both UHF and VHF signals, in other words, you’ll get the full spectrum of channels.

It features an adequate range of up to 60 miles, effective enough to deliver outstanding quality. What’s more, it also works effectively in remote areas that face difficulties in receiving signals.

The Tree New Bee is one of the best-selling antennas on the market today for two main reasons which we’ll outline below;

Signal Quality – When it comes to signal quality this thing puts most other outdoor antennas to shame. It has a staggeringly long 120-mile range, which would be more than enough in itself, but the antenna goes even further by enabling you to rotate the antenna, 360 degrees, wirelessly, using a remote control. So, the incredibly long range coupled with the ability to rotate the antenna to get the absolute perfect position for the clearest signal puts this thing in a league of its own when it comes to achieving channel clarity.

Price – After reading the above, it wouldn’t be unusual for you to assume that this thing is in the region of several hundreds of dollars, but nope, not even close, and this is where our jaw really dropped. The Tree New Bee antenna, as of the time of writing this article, is a “rub-you-eyes-in-disbelief” low price of $36.99 on Amazon.com. We’ll let that soak in for a second. An antenna with a range of 120 meters for less than $50.00! So, it’s no surprise why it’s one of the best-selling outdoor antennas.

First off, GE 33692 outdoor antenna is from one of the most well known and most reputable companies in the world, so you know it will be a solid product. The antenna has an impressive range of 60 miles and allows you watch premium channels including CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, Univision, CW and PBS. It has Signal Enhancing Reflectors which drastically increases signal strength and go a long way in reducing dropouts. This technology allows the antenna to effortlessly deliver uncompressed 1080p signals for pin sharp, crystal clear images.

Further, the antenna has Broad-Spectrum reception which allows you to receive VHF and UHF stations, in other words, a lot more channels for your buck! In terms of design, the antenna is attractive with a small footprint so won’t draw a lot of attention, and it comes with mounting bracket, mast and full assembly instructions.

You can’t start talking about the 1byOne outdoor antenna without mentioning it’s truly striking and unique design. To us, it looks a lot like a butterfly, one with the benefit of delivering crystal clear TV channels for free!

The antenna has an impressive range of 80 miles (20 miles more than the GE antenna reviewed above) and allows you to watch premium channels including ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, and Fox. The antenna lets you pull local HDTV, VHF and UHF Signals which means more channels for your money!

We reviewed its little brother above, but this older sibling (TNB-WA2805), has even more to offer, if you thought that was possible.

The antenna has a truly unbelievable 150-mile long range. This is a range that is unrivalled in this price bracket. And much like it’s smaller sibling, this one is priced incredibly well, at $36.99. Again, similar to the other one, the TNB-WA2805 can be rotated a full 360 degrees via remote control, so you can find the absolute perfect placement to receive the clearest signal and most channels.

8 Element Bowtie switches things up in a big way compared to the antennas mentioned above, and its design approach has paid off handsomely judging by our take on the product and the legion of die-hard fans of the product as is evidenced by the endless string of glowing reviews for it on Amazon.com

So, what’s so different about it? Well, it utilises 8 individual antennas resulting in an unsurpassed gain of 17.4 dbi, cementing it as the most powerful antenna in the world. Further, the unique, and patented brackets allow the two panels to target broadcasts at multiple directions at the same time. This results in more channels at a higher clarity. All of this makes this system not only great for urban areas but also for rural areas where heavy foliage and roofing materials often reduce the incoming signal quite dramatically.

First off, we absolutely love the name! EXTREMEtenna, why didn’t anyone else think of that? The EXTREMEtenna 80 is an eight bay, phased array, outdoor antenna that is fully multi directional. This thing picks up everything, no seriously, we mean it. It scoops up both high definition and digital signals from a span of 180 degrees and a range of 80 miles. We’re talking UHF, VHF, FM and HD. Told you, the whole shebang. In terms of channels, that is major local networks such as ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, PBS and The CW beaming onto your TV screen in glorious 1080p.

With regards to design, this antenna isn’t the smallest one we’ve reviewed so far, but it is undoubtedly the most EXTREME…sorry…we couldn’t resist. On a serious note, I believe the fact that it captures the full spectrum of signals goes a long way in redeeming its slightly larger size and less sophisticated design.

The 1byOne outdoor antenna is a strong, robust device with a very traditional antenna design that has a remarkably small footprint.

The antenna has a respectable range of 85 miles and can pick up HDTV, VHF and UHF signals that are local and free so enables you to watch a large number of channels. And the channels hit your TV in flawless quality, we’re talking full HD, 4K and even 3D! – depending on the channel and show.

This Sky antenna from Mohu is a seriously nifty piece of kit. Gosh, where do we even start with this thing. I think the design would be a good place, and you’ll see why below.

With this antenna, Mohu has completely reimagined how an antenna should look and feel. The antenna is small, super light (weighing just 3 pounds!), impossibly thin (one inch thick), unobtrusive and actually…elegant (a word I never thought I’d use when talking about outdoor antennas!). And it’s as tough as it is elegant, it’s weather and lightning resistant so stands up admirably to the roughest weather conditions.

Much like the Mohu Sky we reviewed above, the 1ByOne Amplified Outdoor Antenna is unlike any antenna you’ve seen before. It’s sleek, round and inconspicuous.

But this thing also has the brains to match its beauty. This 1ByOne antenna has a complete 360 degrees omnidirectional reception and a 60-mile range, in other words, it receives signals from up to 60 miles, from all directions without you having to manually move or rotate the antenna either by hand or remote control. All this means you consistently get the best signal possible.
