We get 22 channels and we are 80 miles from the nearest transmitters.All the channels are clear, crisp, HDTV national channels and a few local channels. Install took about 20 minutes after assembly.All we used was a Phillips screw driver. Once mounted, with the directional motor, we aimed it perfectly for best reception.The 30 feet of cable provides lots of options for mounting on your roof top.We really didn't even need a tall pole, but we put it atop a 10 foot one inch pole.This will work on your RV or boat too, it doesn't have to be mounted too high.Cable TV is fine, but this will pay for itself in one month, so we were sold.
I echo the assessments of the reviewers just ahead of me. At my location 60 miles from Atlanta I had tried amplified indoor HD antennas, and was only able to receive a few stations. With the HD 2605 mounted at approximately 25 feet above ground, I receive everything! It is truly like having cable for the cost of one month's cable bill. Of course you only get what's transmitted, but the number of stations is amazing.
I do have some concerns with the plastic housing and thin aluminum elements used on the HD 2605. How well this type of construction will stand up to the outdoor elements remains to be seen.
We live 80 to 100 miles from any transmission towers which are in several different directions. After trying several so called omnidirectional antennas we purchased this antenna after reading reviews. The antenna is outstanding. It pulls in strong signals from all the closest towers and we even get some channels from areas beyond 100 miles.
Keep in mind digital signals are effected by severe weather much like the small satellite dishes so during bad weather we loose the furthermost signals and some of the closest ones come and go during the worst weather.
We have been through several mid-west severe thunderstorms since I installed this antenna and everything still works like it did out of the box.
Just an added note the antenna arrived too late to install out side the first night so I sat it on a table in our front window and got better reception with it there than we were getting with our other antenna mounted 50 feet high outside. This is truly a great antenna and I would strongly recommend it especially for anyone living in extreme fringe areas.
My only suggestion to the company is to include a direction indicator on the on the remote control and have directional buttons instead of double clicking to reverse direction.
