Why does this antenna suck
1335857
AM/FM reception on my stock antenna (Ram 1500) was fine on all channels. Switched to the stubby and the only channel I had reception on was a local LI station and even that had a significant amount of static. Left the radio tuned to that station, switched back the the regular antenna and the signal was crystal clear.

I originally used the omnidirectional antenna. Yuck. This directional antenna improved the signal strength by at least 4X.

I would need to know more about the problem to answer this question. Did you install the correct drivers for the antenna? Make sure you have the latest updated drivers. http://www.ccrane.com/c/drivers/super3-antenna-software.zip

Raise the antenna. Maybe purchase an external antenna and plug it into the antenna slot.

This antenna IMO is only good if you want to get rid of the larger factory antenna or you only listen to Sirius/XM, as AM/FM reception is worse (I live approx. 35 miles outside of a major city) and the AM/FM stations were barely coming in.

It picks up a lot of stations, but we have great difficulty tuning it in accurately. Tuning is very "hit or miss". I don't know if a great antenna would make it work better. Once I get a station tuned in, I try not to change it! Good luck.

the antenna is supposed to wireless pick up the satellite's or cable box's signal. i even tried to screw in the cable directly to the antennas input, but no luck.i as well tried connecting it directly to a video game console [AV OUTPUT, AND RV...NO LUCK!] the most i was able to do with this tv is get a power signal, and discover the remote and power connect normally; but nothing else is as simple.defiantly would advise you to stay away from this tv. you will not get your moneys worth, and it will just sit on your shelf.

failed to mention the included antenna is crap just get you a little inside antenna such as the old rabbit ears that match the antenna connector. I got a little magnetic telescoping antenna for a couple of bucks and it works fine..

Yeah, if you are hooking up multiple TVs or have long cable runs from the antenna an amplifier is the solution. Note: Amplifiers are NOT the solution for weak signals due to distance from the stations. Your best bet there is to buy a bigger/better antenna. The amp can only work with what it gets from the antenna. If all you're getting is static than amplified static is what you'll get with an amp added.

I don't know what it will pick up, up there. You will need to get an inline booster. My channel 7.1 through 7.4 comes in good all the time. My channel 21.1 through 21.4 don't come in to good all the time, at night better. But I did not get any channel 21 before. I think I probably get couple other channels that I don't watch. I went on another site to see what channels, antennas would be out there, and how far away they are. And then pointed my antenna in that direction. Had to play with the ears, and antenna direction to get to work better. I hope this will help you make up your mind. I have not done anything to my antenna, but I have been thinking about screwing a bigger base on it.

I'm not a expert on antenna's but I have my antenna 20' off the ground on a metal mast and it receives in a 45 t0 50 mile radius on VHF high band and UHF,but the antenna doesn't do well on the 800 MHz band . I have no mountains around me so I'm sure that has something to do with the reception too.

on mine i had to do auto tuning but i also had to connect the cable tv cable that was not operational to the back of this power antenna then out from antenna to tv make sure antenna is pluged into wall and turned on this worked for me but this antenna still wont ge every channel so i ended up going to radio shack and put up an outdoor antenna that worked perfect and gets every channel crystal clear it was 37.00 this antenna is the best iv ever used and will recomend it to anyone it has a 50 mile range from the mountain where signals are transmitted try this and good luck to you gary

Make sure you have power to the antenna, and then rotate it 90 degrees and do a channel search. Do a channel search every 90 degrees until you have went 360 degrees. I know it says Omni-directional but it does have a blind spot. If you still can't get a good signal your to far away from the stations or the antenna is defective.

This antenna does not work as described. I returned mine and got my money back

Sorry to say that in general it won't help with an antenna signal. I have read some reviews where people said it helped some, but that is not its intended purpose.

ell I think so, but maybe you have to turn the antenna to correct position. For most of use, it really picks up fine.

I have a telescoping antenna from a previous HDTV OTA tuner that has a heavier and magnetic base, however, it doesn't have any better/worse reception than this "V" antenna, which is so flimsy, each individual antennae isn't strong enough to stay in any fixed "up" position. Because the antenna is removable, pickup a cheap larger HDTV antenna and give it a try.
