How many miles away are you from towers? (you can check with antennaweb.org) Would this work for an 11-12 mile range?

According to the website I am 10 miles from all local station towers. As I had mentioned before the antenna did not provide the reception that I expected from an RCA product. I do not recommend it. Sorry I could not provide more positive feedback for this product.

I'm 13 miles from towers. It really works quite well, but is affected by wind and rain. I also live in a wooded area.

28-30 miles. Now that the leaves have fallen off the MANY trees around my house, I get all available channels with just bunny ears. I don't believe the 'amplified' antenna does any better. Just another thing to plug into a power source.

According to the map, I'm nearly 50 miles from towers in NYC...no way that is correct, it's only 35-40 miles if I drove there....however, it can't be more than 20 miles as a straight path. So I'm not sure how accurate their maps are. However, I do get several channels, I just can't get them all at once, and there are a few I can never seem to get. But this one worked much better than another less expensive one I had tried.

AntennaPoint.com tells me that I am between 6.5 miles and 8.6 miles away from towers. I could not tell you if it will work for an 11-12 mile range, but that distance is not much more than my nearly 9 mile distance.

In Colorado Springs I can pick up 21 channels clear as cable, including Denver broadcasts 60 miles away. One PBS station, KBDI in Broomfield, approximately 70 miles away also comes in clear. I am getting rid of my cable TV company, except the internet.

Yes, I have used this antenna to connect 2 miles away. I find it to be better that other outdoor antennas. Just remember it is directional, so has to be pointed towards you home or wifi.

Depends on what is in the way. Clear path I get good signal a quarter of a mile away, and I am only using about 45% power on mine. If you have buildings in the way the range drops. Also remember that this is a directional antenna.

Under perfect conditions I have picked up towers close to 50 miles away. Very reliable for towers within 35 miles. Mine is mounted in a single story attic.

I am more than 25 miles away from a tower, and I live in a heavily wooded area The reception I have gotten has been good. However, it does change if the weather is bad. If it is stormy or windy, reception is greatly affected. Also, as I said in a previous post, my antenna HAD to be on on outside wall. The best reception came when it was at a window. And it did vary from position to position in my home. Some locations did not work well at all even at window locations. I think if you are within 25 miles or so, you probably won't have any problems with this antenna.

As with all TV antennas, the range depends on the terrain and other obstacles between your antenna and the tower. If your antenna is mounted lower and you're in a valley the range will be less, perhaps 20 miles or less. If your antenna is mounted higher and the terrain is flat the range will be much more, perhaps as much as 70 miles. Antennas mounted outside usually work better because inside the house about half the signal may be lost passing through walls or roofing materials. This FCC web site will give you a pretty good idea of the reception at your address. http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/dtvmaps/ As with all TV antennas, the range depends on the terrain and other obstacles between your antenna and the tower.

There are websites that will tell you the location of the nearest broadcast towers and the recommended antenna type. Just search for antenna position. I used this in the suburban Miami area, about 25 miles from the main towers with very very good results.

Yes. Without will give you 35 miles of range. With, 50 miles of range. Sometimes when you are really close to the towers, you wont want to use the amplifier because it will over-amplify your signal and you wont be able to receive the channel. LaMar TimmonsWinegard Digital Communications

I had it inside on the first floor testing, it worked but the signal strength was greatly impacted. But my closest tower is about 35 miles away also, being on the second floor will help but you will more than likely be better off if you can get it in the attic at minimum.

Yes, distance depends on power 25 watts or 5, and the quality/height of antennas...generally 5 miles or so..

I have had the Lava HD antenna for about 3 years now I receive about 15-20 stations most are about 50 miles away, I get the major networks, Fox, PBS and others, Its mounted on my roof about 25' up. I'am happy with it.

No. This is an indoor antenna that will work ok in a metro area where you are less than 25 miles from the TV towers. You will likely need to take extreme measures to pickup digital TV signals from that far away.

I'm not sure what the range is. I live in Manhattan and though it mostly works ok it's not without need of adjustment. I was hoping to place it in a convenient spot and forget about it but I have to adjust it often. Living in Manhattan I would opt for a more expensive and hopefully more powerful antenna.

I live 45 miles away from the stations. This antenna easily picked up all the stations I wanted. Good luck! Please check out www.tvfool.com for more info on stations you can get in your area.

I took the dish off of the mast and mounted this antenna on it. So I am using the whole length of the cable that runs through the basement across the whole house. I am not sure but at least 30-40 feet. However I noticed that the dish company has left a plugged in what appears to be a signal booster. I don't know if that matters. But I am at least 20 miles from the nearest tower and am catching 8 stations. 4 of which are junk. Installed cable recently.

Unfortunately, it won't work 12 blocks away...I tried to use it in my Garage and it worked, but the minute I went beyond my garage....It no longer worked! I hear it depends on the area you live in too...Rural or City! In the city it only works around my house!

For sure. I live 40-60 miles from various towers in Detroit, Toledo and Lansing, and am in the woods. Mine is hanging indoors in my attic and I still get reception. I purchased based on feedback of reception strength at a distance.
