This antenna is for UHF and VHF HIGHThere's low VHF (2 thru 7) and high VHF (8 thru 13). Very few stations actually still broadcast in the low VHF range, even if the channel you tune to is 2 through 7 (For example, my (virtual) ch. 6-1 is actually ch. 25 in the digital tuning.) Check a site like RabbitEars dot info for a list of your area's stations. As far as the distance, as long as the stations aren't using seriously weak transmitters, you shouldn't have any problems, but a bunch of things come into play. (Mast height, cable/coax quality and length, physical and geographic obstacles, and my latest problem, RF interference from other electronics.)

It covers UHFmainly and as low as channel 7 VHF. It won't cover the old channel 2 that broadcasted on 54-56 Megahertz. Check your channel 2 area actual frequency, it may now be on the UHF frequency band. If so, this antenna will work but hard to predict how the hills U mention will effect the signals.

How far away is the antenna farm for that station? If it is over 30 miles away that might be the issue. You may also want to see if there is anything that is very high that may be between you and the antenna farm. If that is the case, you might be able to just raise the antenna higher.

This antenna works OK by itself in my application. I am 20-25 miles from the broadcast antenna, and over a hill or two. I think the documentation tells what channels it is optimum for. As I recall, it is the high VHF channels (9-13). It will work with another antenna since it includes the balancing connection. One thing to remember is that the channel may not broadcast on the channel your TV displays. For example, our channel 7 actually broadcasts on 39.

I am 30 miles away from broadcast towers and although they are quite clear, the lower channels are tough to tune in. I'd say you should probably go with a larger outdoor antenna at that distance.

Make sure the connections are secure and proper and the antenna is elevated high enough, this antenna works on line of sight,if there are obstructions (hills, trees , buildings etc.) it will not work as well as planned. Did you also research the programming available to you in your area? You should go to "titantv.com" and enter your zip code and see what is available in your area. My antenna still works great after several years and I do recommend it. Good Luck.

We're down in a valley, but have no problem getting stations 30 miles away, and FM 40 miles away. The antenna is very directional and needs a rotor for best performance. If we were on a hill we could get much farther.

This is a VHF HIGH and UHF antenna, so it doesn't receive channels 2 through 7 (VHF LOW). But very few stations actually use VHF LOW these days. For example, in the Indianapolis area, we have Ch 6 that shows as (virtual) 6.1, but their physical channel # is 25. Of around 100 channels within 80 or so miles, not one is VHF LOW anymore. If your TV scanned for channels, and whatever is supposed to be on 3 isn't there, you might have one of the few VHF LOW stations still around. You can check a website like Rabbitears dot info for a very detailed list of your areas stations. Only if your ch. 3 is actually above 7, could the mast height be the problem, but there are a LOT of possibilities. ... Good luck to you. :)

This antenna was very marginal for me with a station located about 30 miles away. Once in a while it would be ok (depending on atmospheric conditions, etc.) but mostly unwatchable. My local station 10 miles away was just fine. Finally decided that satellite TV is the way to go for more than one station.In my opinion, if your stations are 50 miles away, the only way to go would be a high quality roof antenna.HD is not an issue since most stations are digital and broadcasting it by default now.

I agree with Charles. If the signal is strong enough, it should pick up the channel. I need to move the antenna periodically, but not that often. My antenna picks up two 7.1s and two 7.2s. I hope this helps!

I have a place in northeast Wisconsin and I am 72 miles from Green Bay, Wi and I now receive all the channels from Green Bay. I have the antenna only about 12 feet off the ground right now. So I would have to say the antenna works very well.

It might. It really depends on the landscape. This antenna needs clear line of sight to get the best results. If you have mountains or big hill between you and the tower then the strength of the signal might drop. You need to experiment.

I can't tell you for sure. I am in Anchorage,AK and there is a station that is only 16 miles from me and I have to move the antenna just for that station sometimes. I get the other 2 networks just fine. This was the 4th antenna I tried and it was better than the others.

This unit is very small and I am using in the an area close to our Broadcasting towers..(12 miles) so with the distance that you are mentioning I would purchase a larger antenna for the distance.

I easily pick up digital signals from 60 miles out. I live on a hill, which helps, but my Eagle Aspen antenna is mounted in my attic. Several programs are duplicate because they are broadcast from different cities. Like, I might get 3 channels of Home Shopping Network.I live 30 miles north of Pittsburgh.

I don't know how big the range is. It worked ok for me but the local stations are very close by. It probably average. It is going to depend where you live and the geography between you and the broadcast towers.

Depends on your location and elevation. I live in a top of hill, I can pick up as many as 38 digital channels and 3 analog channels, in which many channels are the same NBC, ABC, CBS, PBC, but in different local stations. The digital signals are pretty good, because, I placed the antenna in attic. The analog signals are really bad. I just used skip function of the TV set to get rid of them. After a few month using, the rotation functions of my antenna is out. I have to find right direction by hand and let the antenna stay in one direction.

And make sure you know how far away yer antenna will pick up TV signals: some say 35 miles, some say 50 miles. If you live farther than that, you wont get any reception.
