This is my review of the 1byone "150 mile" Amplified Indoor/Outdoor/Attic Omni Directional TV Antenna. It runs about $105 on Amazon and claims to pick up stations on both VHF and UHF within 150 miles of the broadcast towers. That's a lot of promises for a small UFO type antenna. How well does it actually work?

OMG this channel is awesome. Ever since a cell phone company bought UnirectTV back in MAY 2013 I knew they would ruin tv. Not to mention Cable TV being the best way to go broke. I told the customer reps immediately that ATT would ruin nonirect TV. Guess what...I was right. No more free trials of movie channels and limited promotions. I then cancelled Direct TV and bought a $40 - 50 mile antenna. I'm putting $140 in my pocket every month after just 1 week of getting rid of cable. I get enough channels for free and with utube and dvd's i've been collecting for 20+ years...who needs that much TV? Get out into the yard and work in the garden. In almost 5 years I put $5000 in my pocket and not in Cable companies pocket!!!

In the 70's I used to work for a local retailer and we would install what was called the area special which consisted of an array of four antennas; each aimed towards the station they were tuned for thus eliminating the need for a rotor in order to get all the channels in the area. If I recall these came from Winegard and included twin lead wire cut to the proper length to connect each antenna and provide proper spacing. P.S. Rotating an RV antenna is done from inside the RV.

I was thinking seriously about this '150 mile range' being promoted by some of these antenna companies. I think we're being played/gamed. TV is typically line of sight...70-80 miles. Now with that in mind, an antenna with 70-80 mile LOS will be at the center of an 150 mile diameter circle...ergo '150 mile range' antenna's.... Your potential reception area runs, for instance from 75 miles due east to 75 miles due west of your location.

Hey Tyler. At the 1:57 mark of your video the advertising for the antenna shows that you can pick up the CBC. The CBC? Tyler, forget the 150 mile claim, your closest (by air) CBC affiliate is approximately 280 miles from where you live in Kingston, ON. Have you ever been able to get CBC Kingston on an antenna? Believe it or or not, I have. It was back in approximately 2008 when analog reined supreme. It was after midnight on a cooler summer night in August. I'm in Thunder Bay, ON which is about 1,000 miles away line of sight. It was my most satisfying antenna DXing experience. Never to be repeated with digital television. Maybe because you are approximately 1/4 of the distance as I was you could still pull it off with the new omni-directional space ship antenna you have. Then again, why would anybody want to pick up CBC television?

Somewhere a rich person has a TV antenna that is hoisted into the air by a weather balloon. Gold elements, silver lead-in wire. Gets several different stations on each individual channel by just pointing it in different directions. The sad part is it doesn't matter whether you get 40 OTA channels or 140. It's all the same programming.
@themagus5906
@themagus5906 4 жыл бұрын
That's true - OTA is mostly crap. Sales channels, jewelry, religious, etc. There are SOME notable exceptions, depending on your geographic area and the HD sub-channels. You have to be a big-time "utility" freak to even invest a dollar to get these broadcasts for "free". It used to be called C-Band satellite back in the 80's and most people abandoned it after finding out that that there was nothing worth watching for "free". If you are so cheap that you can't afford a cable or streaming package nowadays, you probably shouldn't be watching TV anyway. With my Comcast (evil) service, I can watch one channel on TV, while I stream several more channels over the internet at the same time! Just buy a cheap internet device for each screen you want to watch.

Even if you could pick up a tv signal from 150 miles away it would suffer greatly from same channel or co channel interference from other stations using the same or similar frequencies as there are only a certain number of frequencies that can be used for tv so therefore they have to be shared and geographically distanced from one another. This plan does not reckon on people receiving such out of area signals.

I am about 60 miles from the nearest stations. I have another area about 70 miles away in another direction, and more stations within 100 miles in other directions. I chose a very high gain and very directional antenna from Wineguard. It goes on top of a 60' tower. I added a preamp at the antenna and feed the signal to a distributor amp with low loss coax. It is turned by a rotator big enough to handle a small array. There is a omnidirectional scanner antenna a few feet above the TV antenna and I have a 160 meter doublet on a 40' mast a few feet away from the tower which connects to my HF transceiver. I did not even consider a omnidirectional antenna for TV. What I did consider was a pair of stacked beams.

Regarding the latest RVs being sold with a Winegard omni antenna. They stink! I've been able to A/B a friends RV tv reception with an omni antenna vs our older RV with a crank up antenna. To make this comparison even more unfair, I've replaced the batwing Sensar antenna with a Clearstream 2RV. We camp together often so I've seen the same results many times at several campgrounds. The omni antenna often gets zero reception while the Clearstream 2 gets many channels. The omni will work if broadcast towers are about 20 miles away. My RV is like a portable DXing lab. LOL! Love the reviews Tyler!

Best HD Digital antenna? Paper clip! (gets shot) Actually, there are plenty of KZbin videos boasting about how fantastic a paper clip and an amplifier are. Back in the '80s during a cable outage, my oldest brother placed a finger from one hand of my middle brother onto one 300 ohm, VHF terminal screw of the living room TV, and made the the other hand give the middle finger. It worked in a pinch. It's hard to watch TV with your finger on a terminal screw, though. Digital isn't as forgiving though.

A big problem with directional antennas involves the channel scan function that stores channels in the TVs memory. A scan detects and saves channels for stations in the direction that the antenna is pointed. Moving the antenna and running another scan only saves channels in than direction. Each time a scan is run the memory is cleared. Stations found on previous scans are erased. An omnidirectional antenna enables scanning in all directions so you may end up with more channels in memory than you would with a directional antenna.

Most TV's use partial scans along with full scans. When doing a partial scan, TV's will not overwrite channels in the memory, it will only add to the memory if it finds different channels. There's really no need to do a full scan everytime when living in the same location, even after changing antennas. I have 3 TV's and all 3 have the partial scan option and neither TV is newer than 5 to 6 years old... one is like 8 years old.

Tyler, would you consider a future Omni antenna video for the RV users? Thinking of a "The Best Of" concept episode. In addition to the benefit of not climbing to the RV's roof to set an antenna's direction, Omni's are more aerodynamic during travel, less susceptible to hail/ice damage and prevent birds from landing on exposed aerials. Regarding range potential - RV's have the ability to climb hills to take advantage of local terrain features for elevation.

@@AntennaMan maybe that 150 miles really means 75 miles radius from the front to back which would equal 150 miles but since it's a omni maybe they should label it up to 300 miles since it may get some stations from 4 different directions.

As an electrical and RF electronics engineer, I laugh at some of these type of antennas. Really just a waste of good money, unless you are close to the source. If you want good range, you need to put up a lot of metal.....well really aluminum mostly on TV antennas. You also need height with little obstructions. These small type antennas are for suckers. I love the TV commercials like Clear TV. Get the free TV Key from Clear tv and all your problems will be solved....I am joking, its pure crap. Of course Clear TV is pushing their POS Clear TV Premium HD antennas. Absolutely garbage. Go with something like the Winegard HD8200U Platinum HD Series Antenna. Get yourself a RCA VH226F Outdoor Antenna Rotator with Remote. Add a amplifier if you think you need it. Spend a little more and get quality Rg6 Quad Shielded Coaxial Cable. Do all this and you will be thanking me later. Enough said....I am going to watch some TV.

I had a new 70 mile RCA ANTENNA installed on my roof and pointed toward Memphis and getting a lot of Memphis channels , I live in Jonesboro Arkansas . Problem is I can get my two local channels in my bedroom , but the closest one which is probably three miles away will not come in in my living room which is the closest to the cable run . I'm baffled , somebody told me it could be the splitter. I'm not going too rotate the antenna , roofs too steep . Of course I know when cooler weather gets here I'll probably get more stations , but would like too get my local 8.1 channel ABC channel which it rebroadcast NBC, and the CW network also . Any food for thought , like I said I'm baffled ( closest station not coming in ) ? Tryed to manually key it in too .......... no results.....

I have the 1byone reviewed on my roof, a high wind turned it, lost a VHF low (Channel 6, Philadelphia market). Does anyone know if I can add a rooftop diplexer and add a VHF antenna without interfering with the pre-amp and amp supplied by 1byone? Frustrating. Also, I thought this antenna was omni directional, why would direction affect the performance? Strange. Thanks

Hi Tyler. Can you please help. I live very rural i can not do a big outdoor antenna. My daughter lives roughly 25 miles from me and picks up about 15 stations with a tiny 10 dollar antenna I get 4. If I were to buy a 50 or 100 mile antenna might I get more stations? If so what do you recommend.? Thank you.

We live in a rural area and live 50 miles away from one broadcast tower and 60 miles away from the other 3. Up until about March of this year we were getting about 24 different channel from the omni direction antenna. After the rescan we only get 3. What antenna do you recommend we use.

I've said it before in comments on here. 150 miles once does not mean that you will consistently get 150 miles all day all the time. Anyone with even the faint knowledge of antennas know this. If there was an antenna that was capable of 150 miles all the time I would purchase it because I'd get 140 channels from every area. From the thumb of Michigan I had Columbus, OH, but that was a once in a season thing. That doesn't mean I have an antenna that goes 230 miles. Columbus is that far from me.
