Best Outdoor TV Antennas of 2026

"I’m extremely happy with this antenna—it delivers a crystal clear picture and the remote makes adjusting the direction super easy. The installation was straightforward and the motor is so quiet. What really impressed me was the fast and helpful customer service from BEFORE; they quickly resolved my issue. I’ll definitely buy from BEFORE again!"

"Setting up this antenna was a breeze, and I’m amazed at the number of channels I now get in HD and SD. It’s discreet in size, my neighbors haven’t even noticed it, and it works perfectly for cord cutting and backup during outages. The remote-controlled swivel is handy, but takes a bit of coordination to aim. Overall, I’m really satisfied with this purchase."

"The antenna provides a lot of channels and the reception is fantastic for the price. However, I did notice that sometimes the rotation gets stuck or moves the wrong way, and after a while, the unit had trouble recognizing the remote. Great reception, but I wish the rotation was more reliable."

"I'm genuinely impressed with this antenna—setup was quick and required no extra tools. Once mounted, it scanned and found all the major local networks in clear HD with no pixelation or signal loss. The number of channels it picked up surprised me, and the sturdy, modern design looks great on my roof. Compared to my previous antenna, this one is a huge upgrade in both reliability and range, even during bad weather. The best part: no monthly fees for local channels. I’d highly recommend it if you want a solid, high-performing antenna."

"I started out skeptical, but after trying this antenna indoors, I was already picking up 24 stations, far more than my old model. After watching a YouTube video, I installed it outside and was shocked to get 56 channels, all with solid signals and no dropout. Even splitting the feed to multiple TVs worked great. The only downside was the assembly instructions weren’t very clear, but a video helped me get it right. For someone living 20 miles from the city, this feels almost better than cable!"

"For me, the antenna works well if you get it mounted high and aimed correctly. We’re about 60 miles from the broadcast towers and still receive strong signals—except for some minor issues during bad weather, but that’s not the antenna’s fault. I found that all the installation info is on the box or online video, which was plenty to get it set up."

"After mounting and aiming this antenna properly, I'm now getting all major channels clearly, including FOX, from about 50 miles away. The picture is solid and stable, and I can access over 80 OTA channels, including all major networks and numerous sub-channels."

"This antenna is a big step up from my previous, larger model that cost twice as much. No amplifier is necessary, assembly was easy, and the signal is excellent. My only wish is for better packaging and hardware, but overall, it's working great."

"I installed this antenna on my roof and simply pointed it towards the city. Setup was straightforward, and I immediately picked up 26 channels with clear signals. I would recommend this product to others looking for reliable reception."

"I live about 50 miles north of Houston's TV towers and was doubtful this antenna would work for me. Once I installed it and aimed it properly, I got all major local channels with clear reception—except for one, which I was able to fix by adding a DVR with an internal amplifier. Now, my monthly streaming bill has dropped by $85. For anyone looking for reliable reception and cost savings, I highly recommend pairing this antenna with a Tablo DVR."

"After my old, bulky antenna was destroyed in a hailstorm, I installed this smaller, affordable antenna with low expectations. To my surprise, it matched or exceeded the performance of my previous, much more expensive setup, pulling in every major station I wanted. It may look 'dinky,' but its reception is outstanding—I’m genuinely impressed with how well it works."

"I mounted this antenna inside my attic about 10 miles from Portland. The installation was straightforward, and the antenna faces the city’s broadcast towers. Since switching from a flat window antenna, I now get all the main networks and a wide variety of channels. No more messy cables in my living room, and the signal is flawless—I’m very satisfied with the purchase!"

"I bought this antenna because I liked its sleek, modern appearance, and it’s performed even better than expected. I get all the channels in Houston, both in the city and at my beach house over 80 miles away. I’m really impressed and would strongly recommend it."

"After switching from a flat indoor antenna, I noticed a huge boost in channel reception—from 14 to 53 channels—without moving it to the roof. The omni-directional feature means I don’t have to worry about aiming, which is a big plus. I’d highly recommend this antenna to anyone surrounded by stations."

"This antenna was easy to mount using my old satellite pole, and I was able to pick up every available channel in my area. The omni-directional design really makes sense since the towers are in different directions. Plus, it’s attractive enough to satisfy the HOA. No complaints from me!"

"I set up this antenna today and was impressed by the amazing clarity and reception. Despite living about 45 miles from the broadcast towers with lots of buildings in the way, it still picked up 128 over-the-air channels. Assembly was straightforward, although the instructions could be clearer, especially for the VHF section. Overall, I’m very satisfied and recommend it to others."

"This antenna was very easy to assemble and set up. I was able to use my existing mount and cables, and the picture quality is excellent with strong signals. The whole process was smooth and straightforward."

"I was surprised by the compact packaging since the antenna is quite large when assembled. The signal is strong even with transmitters 25-40 miles away, and it works well both in the attic and on the roof. The included mount and pole are okay for indoor use, but I’d choose something sturdier for outdoors. For the price, it’s a great value compared to other brands."

"I'm genuinely impressed with this antenna’s quick setup and outstanding reception quality. After installation, I immediately received a clear, strong signal and a wide variety of local channels. The picture quality has exceeded my expectations and the signal remains stable. If you’re considering cutting the cord, I highly recommend this for a reliable over-the-air antenna experience."

"After using various antennas over the years, I finally tried this model and wish I had switched sooner. Even in my apartment’s challenging location, it managed to pull in just as many channels as my first installation—all with clear reception and no dropouts. The motorized rotation makes it easy to adjust, and customer support was fast and helpful. If you’re struggling with reception in tough areas, don’t hesitate to try this antenna."

"As a recent cord cutter living about 35 miles from TV broadcast towers, I compared this antenna with my old RV antenna. While assembly was straightforward and the price was great, my older antenna picked up a few more channels. That said, this antenna outperforms any indoor model I've tried, and the customer service is truly exceptional—they responded immediately and offered to help resolve any issues."

"After installing this antenna in my attic, I was able to pick up 70 channels with strong, stable signal quality. The assembly was straightforward, and I appreciated the flexibility to adjust both UHF and VHF elements for optimal reception. I highly recommend using resources like rabbitears.info to check your local signal margin, as this antenna really shines when stations are positioned in similar directions. HD channels look fantastic, but be aware that some sub-channels are lower quality or duplicates. If you're thinking about cutting the cord, make sure your favorite channels are available in your area."

"With over 20 years of experience setting up antennas, I was pleasantly surprised by the superior performance and solid build of this model compared to previous designs. Once mounted on the same mast as my older antenna, pixelation and audio dropouts disappeared, even for weaker local stations. Assembly was a breeze thanks to the well-designed hardware and clear instructions. Every component felt high quality and sturdy. This is a terrific choice if you want reliability and easy installation."

"Living in Montreal, I installed this antenna on our three-story building’s roof and am now receiving crystal-clear VHF and distant UHF channels—jumping from just 7 to 29 stations, including sub-channels. The setup was easy and the antenna feels sturdy, so I’m optimistic about its performance through the tough Montreal winters. Very satisfied with the results so far!"

"I've bought three antennas from this company for my family, and each one has delivered clear local channels—even in severe weather. Assembly is straightforward, and the new upgraded directional model pulled in even more channels for us. The company's customer service is outstanding and quick to resolve issues, and their extended warranty gives me extra peace of mind. I always recommend them to friends and family."

"After mounting this antenna about 30 feet up, I was amazed to pull in 74 crystal-clear channels from up to 100 miles away. Assembly was simple, and when I had a minor issue, the support team responded within 24 hours and resolved everything fast. I’ll definitely be a repeat customer thanks to their professionalism."

"Living nearly 50 miles from the transmitter, I used this antenna to scan in 93 digital channels with crystal clear reception, even some in 4K. The motorized rotation and simple indoor control box make fine-tuning easy, and the quiet motor works flawlessly. Installation was easy, and I’d highly recommend this product for anyone looking to cut the cord."

"I set up this antenna today and was amazed by the clarity and the number of channels it picked up—128 over-the-air options, even though I'm about 45 miles from the broadcast towers with plenty of buildings in between. The included coax cable was longer than I needed, and assembling the antenna was straightforward, although the instructions could have been clearer, especially for the VHF section. Overall, I'm very satisfied and would recommend it to others."

"This antenna was easy to put together and set up using my existing mount and cables. Picture quality is outstanding with strong signals on all my channels. Assembly was a breeze, and the antenna works just as well as more expensive brands I’ve tried."

"I’m using this antenna for reception from towers about 45 miles away, some even behind a mountain, and it still delivers 60 channels without issue. I replaced an indoor antenna that only picked up 26 channels. I did use my own mount instead of the included one, which seemed a bit flimsy for outdoor use. Signal loss is minimal even with long cable runs, and the performance on both VHF and UHF bands has been impressive. Highly recommend for similar setups."
