I have a house in northern wisconsin in the middle of the woods. the closest town is 12 mile but want to pick up fox 31 miles away.

According to the reviews it should pick up as far as 60 miles. Is Fox 31 broadcast tower 31 miles away, that is what you need to Google to find out where the broad cast towers are. Best small multi directional antenna we have ever had though!

I don't know right off but there is a link on the site to Mohu's own map to let you know whats available in your area. LOOK at their site and there are many others

I live 15-25 miles from tv stations in hilly country. I have to use a digital conerter box plus an antenna.

Hi Kris,On the public low energy channel 14 I get about 1 mile in an area with trees & buildings.I hope this answers your question.

As long as you are in the same canyon I think you can count on about 3 miles range. This could be reduced by heavy trees or boulders.

Hey Buddy, Both of mine worked from over 50 feet away. Depending on the terrain, i usually get anywhere from 25-40 feet all the time. A great buy for the money. I am very pleased. Be safe.

Theres actually no rule of thumb for radios. Line of sight with a good antenna a 500mW radio like this one will get quite far, specially if you're high up compared to the ground and outside the city. You'll get 36 miles that way. In the forest, no line of sight, near city, you'd be lucky get even get a mile... but if you have a very good radio you wouldn't get much more! Doubling the power output will give you 1.6x theoretical range (not 2x!) and not even that in reality if its not line of sight. That means if you get 1 mile with 1 watt you certainly never get 2 miles on 2 watts. For short range tho, its a good/cheap radio for sure. More expensive radios wont get you a lot further without having proper antennas and placement.

Line of sight as far as you can see. If you have a good antenna (to a certain extent, bigger is better) and a good location (up high above everything) you can easily get over 80 miles direct. I use a repeater (located on a mountain top) that is about 80 miles from me and it is no problem. My signal relayed through that repeater can go even farther, another 100 miles.

I have a large house. My E2500 is on one end, upstairs, and carries a signal down two floors to the basement, as well as to the main floor. Longest distance would probably be about 125 feet.

I researched this before purchasing and it appeared to be better than the competition at the time (earlier this year). I live across the sound from seattle (manchester). I have a lot of tall cedars and this area is quite "hilly". And I'm able to get all the local channels, and about 25-30 more that aren't worth viewing. I bought it because I so badly wanted to fire my cable provider, and this little black box worked out for me. I have three, and they all have different levels of reception, because they are all in different windows in my home, but they all give me the major networks. Sometimes, during stormy weather I will get distortion. Try a different location in your home, and definitely on a window sill. Does not work in more remote areas - I know I took it camping and nothing. But if you're only a couple miles from a major hub like Cleveland, then you should definitely be getting pretty good reception. If you're getting other channels, then it's possible that fox and cbs are just out of range. I personally recommend this product. It's all about Geographics. Good luck!

It sounds like it should work well for you. Trees do not usually present a problem but hills and mountains do. I suggest that you look at tvfool.com which will give you a better idea which stations you could receive from your location.

I'm in a small city, about 40,000 or so in eastern NC. Within the city limits from inside my home to someone driving I can get about a mile or so range out of them. Not sure if you change the landscape, terrain and geographical location.....

Possibly. NBC in your region is channel 11.1, but is actually broadcast on 10. A UHF Antenna (like this) will pick up high band VHF channels (which end at 14.) TV Fool (a website used to map coverage) says it has a strong signal to your area, but ti depends if where you live is hilly, or obscured by trees and also the height of the antenna.

More than likely, yes. We're between Granbury and Paluxy and West of the Peak and we get all the major channels plus the addition of several others. We have our antenna mounted on a mast above the chimney on a second mast on a rotator motor, so we can adjust its direction from in the house. We also bought a preamplifier and are very happy! We have about 37 channels. Signal reception is "line-of-sight", which means if you are on a hill ike we are and have other hills, trees or buildings in the way, it can affect the reception you get. We have never had cable and don't want it! This is what I would suggest. This should work for Stephenville too. More than likely, yes.

Check the locations of broadcasting sites in your area, and then see if you cannot get a bearing on them through a window. In many cases all the locals will be on the same hilltop, and the Terck doesn't have to be *near* the window, just AIMED through it towards the broadcasters. There should be a webpage for "broadcast television stations" for your area, and will give you bearings from your location. I don't have direct experience with the siding issue, so that may be a sticking point.

We are about 62 miles north of Green Bay, WI and are able to pick up all the Green Bay stations with no difficulty. Our antenna is mounted on a tower about 50' AGL. The antenna has such good gain that we couldn't use the 20dB preamp without overloading the televisions. All the Green Bay stations except one are UHF. I highly recommend this antenna.

If you have a clear line of sight, up to 200 yards however I do not recommend pushing it. I place my caller within 50 yards, preferably with me in an elevated position for maximum visibility. There's nothing worse than placing your caller way the hell out there only to realize your remote's battery is weak and ya have to close the distance to get it to go on. LOL We've all done this. If calling in bears I will place it 75-100 yards out but that's the furthest you ever really need. Gettum close! Sit still, sit in the shade and enjoy watching em come in.

I live on a farm 20 miles west of madison wi at the bottom of a valley and it works great. just make sure it's on a window facing where the tower originates the signal.
