Great Antenna
5.0
Installed this antenna for stations approximately 50 miles away. All channels were at 100% signal strength.

Televes 149883
3.0
I waited over 2 months to finally get this antenna. Televes was out of stock. TE Equipment Quote was honored.
This antenna in my location doesn't work any better than the cheaper ones. I would research about antennas more. The preamp doesn't really help.

Antennae televes
3.0
I have not yet had a chance to install this item but was asked for a review. The Televes antennae arrive 2 days after scheduled delivery time. The box was battered some and appeared someone had tried to get inside. The parts were scattered loosely all around inside. After inspection it seems all parts are there. The amplifier and cord were outside of their box and flopping around in large box. I do not intend to install until spring now, due to weather and so on. Shipping and condition on arrival was iffy. Customer help was good. Not sure about function of item for now, until install at a later time.

Big improvement
5.0
Was having trouble with loss of signal and pixelation.
Old antenna was a large 8ft passive yagi connected to a distribution amp. There are a lot of trees blocking the antenna and towers are around 40 - 50 miles away.
After installing this antenna I'm able to get more channels and a stable signal.
The main channels come in clear and are stable even during rain which use to be a problem. using a signal strength meter really helps point the antenna in the proper direction, I recommend getting one for the install.
The Televes antenna assembled easily enough, it just takes some time and shouldn't be rushed. Assembly video on youtube was also helpful.
My only complaint was the packaging is insufficient for UPS ground shipment. Was shipped in the retail box which had no packaging material, it was just a single corrugated box. Although there was no damage to the antenna this is unacceptable packaging. The retail box was mangled and it was just luck that the contents were still intact. Should have at a minimum been placed inside a thicker outer box to give some structure to protect the contents.

Excellent UHF Antenna
5.0
Evergreen is a challenging place for reception. While not far from TV transmitters, a hill rises nearly 2000 feet higher in between. The only UHF reception possible is from reflections--and there are plenty. We don't lack for signal, it's just that multipath distortion renders it useless. The only way to receive UHF TV is with an antenna with a very narrow beamwidth that can only receive one reflection, and not the several that exist.
This antenna had the narrowest UHF beamwidth of any I know of, and it worked. I had to use a rotator, because we have transmitters in three locations covering almost 270 degrees of arc. The stations I was trying to receive required pointing the antenna about 60 degrees clockwise from where the transmitters are! That is because there is a canyon in that direction that passes a clean signal from a single reflection. But it worked. Few if any other antennas would have picked up that signal without interference from other reflections.
Unfortunately, the antenna isn't nearly as good a performer on VHF-HI. One might think that the same antenna heading used for UHF would work the same way for that, but it does not. A previous antenna could pick them up when pointed at the transmitter site. VHF bends more, and sufficient signal makes it over the hill. But for some reason this antenna proved to be sufficiently poorer on VHF-HI than a Radio Shack antenna to not pick up the two VHF-Hi stations that it could. Still working on that issue.
Bottom line is that this antenna is an excellent performer for difficult fringe area reception of channels transmitting on UHF frequencies, but if you expect it to pick up VHF-HI, the signal had better be reasonably strong and clean. In reality, many fringe sites meet that requirement, as VHF travels further than UHF. But in this unique case, it solved my UHF problem nicely, but proved inadequate for the VHF stations.

Works well
4.0
only had it up a few days, but so far antenna is performing well, I would recommend it. If after a couple of months it continues to provide a great signal, I would give it 5 Stars.
The only issue I had, since it was on back-order I contacted TEquipment (used Live Chat, with Stephen) to get them to hold the shipment since I would be out of town on the projected arrival date. I was told "no problem". Well it shipped before it should have and did create some confusion and delays for the shipper (FedEx) since they did try to deliver it while I was gone. Would I recommend or purchase from TEquipment again? yes, because they were easy to deal with, easy to reach, and they shipped the correct product, which was new with all of the parts necessary to put it together.
