EZ-HD TV Antenna Customer Reviews
HDTV Antenna Reviews 
← Return to previous page >I just wanted to say thanks for a smooth transaction on buying a new antenna. I received the EZ-HD TV antenna from UPS on Wednesday as promised and was surprised at how small it was.
>
It will eventually go on my roof when the weather improves, but I couldn't wait. I wanted to see what difference, if any, it made in my reception so I hooked it up and ran the coax out my french doors and set the antenna up on a pile of firewood. Right away my wife yells "It looks great!" It really works.
>
I'm glad I found your website. I almost spent $50 on an antenna at Wmart that was really only a UHF antenna, not an HD digital antenna.

Greetings,
> I'm happy to hear that everything went well and thank you for taking the time to let us know. > When I designed the EZ-HD my goal was to designed the antenna as small as possible without jeopardizing performance. I admit it won't perform quite as well as antennas that are 10-12 feet long but it does a great job for its size. > Thank you for doing business with us and if we can be of further service be sure to let us know. > Best Regards, Denny __________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
Just wanted to say THANKS! I live in a rural area 66 miles from the Houston, Tx transmitters. For the past 16 years I've been a cheap skate and only had rabbit ears on top of our TV's. That would give us about 3 OK channels and about 2 sometime channels. The rabbit ears would not however pickup the HD signal with the converter box. I got one of your HD-EZ antennas along with a pre-amp, installed it, and got 91 on the strength meter outside and about 82-86 with it inside the attic. I ended up mounting it inside the attic and now have 27 crystal clear channels. This is cool - and honestly two weeks ago I was cursing the whole HUD conversion thing because it didn't work through the rabbit ears. Thanks again.

I ordered an EZ-HD antenna from you recently, and I can't believe how great it works! I was replacing a cheap Phillips amplified antenna, and the signal with the EZ-HD (without an amp) is so much better I can't hardly believe it. Thanks for a great product!

You're welcome Kelly! I'm happy to hear the EZ-HD antenna is doing a great job for you. Denny

Hi Denny,
Just wanted to let you know how satisfied I am with your EZ HD antenna. My neighbor had an antenna professionally installed last year with a price tag of about $650. It's 12 feet long and looks terrible up on the middle of his roof. When you recommended the EZ HD for my location I decided I could do it and went ahead and purchased the package with the mount, cable etc.... I mounted it on the back side eave of my home, pointed it northeast as you suggested and get every station available. I'm not saying it works any better then my neighbors antenna but just as good. He paid $650, I paid $89.00, his is 12 feet long mine is less then 3 feet. I'll be sure to tell everyone that's interested in over the air HDTV about your antenna. The picture quality is better then the cable we just had turned off. The antenna system cost $17 more then one cable bill. Your welcome to put this in your website, I don't even mind if you use my last name. Brad K. _____________________________________________________________________________________________
Denny,
I just wanted to drop you a note and thank you! We purchased the EZ-HD TV antenna bundle and couldn't be happier. Let me take a moment and tell you what happened. I had ordered the antenna and then decided to just buy one at our local Walmart because I was in a hurry to watch my new HD TV and didn't want to wait for delivery so I sent you guys an e-mail telling you to cancel my order. I got the other antenna and this thing turned out to be a monster! Sooooo BIG. I didn't have room to attic mount it and the wife didn't really want such a huge antenna on the roof so we took it back and got our money back. I had regretted canceling the order from you and wouldn't you know, due to some kind of a mix up the order DIDN'T"T get canceled and it was waiting on our doorstep the next day when I got home. I was so happy. This antenna is unbelievable! IT is hard to understand how something that small can do all that it does. I hooked it up to the TV and just laid it out on the deck and came in and it was bringing in our channels 35 miles away! And it was even bringing in the Paducah, Ky station! I can't wait to put it on the roof today to see what it will really do. Thanks for the great antenna at a great price. Dewayne B. Madisonville, Ky. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dear Denny, When I emailed you explaining that I wanted to receive the digital station from both Baltimore and Washington DC and you suggest two EZ-HD antennas one pointing at each location I must say I had my doubts. Well the system is in and working perfectly and I can't thank you enough. Your EZ-HD antenna not only works great but is very well built and the fact that it's made in the USA is just icing on the cake. I included a picture of my installation. Your welcome to use my email and picture if you choose to do so. Many thanks, Ken R. Rockville, MD. 
Ken used two EZ-HD TV antennas a CC 7078 antenna coupler and an AP 8700 mast mounted preamplifier. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hi Dennis,

I laid the EZ-HD TV antenna on the roof last night just to see how things would work and I got 28 channels of HD clear as a bell, without the amp. Dragged it into the attic, removed the old antenna, and hooked the new one to the existing mast, scanned for channels and got 36 channels of HD very clear, still without the amp. Tonight I plan to install the amp and finish up the routing of the cable. I need to pick up 2 short pieces of coax, one from the amp transformer to the back of the TV, one from the amp on the mast to the antenna. I am curious to see how much more signal the amp provides, without the amp I'm getting about 75% or better on the channel power scale my HDTV converter shows.

> Denny,
> I just wanted to thank you. I have installed both the EZ-HD TV antenna & the AP 8780 preamplifier. I mounted both on an the J pole on the east side of the house where I have the 61.5 dish at the top and the EZ-HD just below the dish pointed SSW. I'm getting all the majors and a bunch of other stations from both the Miami & West Palm Beach markets. So far I only have the DishNetwork receiver hooked up, but all the signals are in the mid 80s or higher. Thanks so much for your help.

Hi Denny,
> The EZ-HD antenna is up and it works just great. We are able to get all of the local channels in digital format, but have a little trouble with channel 41 on 1 tv( non-digital set) but it works on the HD set. That comes from St Cloud MN. so it is picking up the signal off the back side of the antenna. That is not a problem anyway because we never watch that station. > Love it, love it, love it! > Thanks so much. > Rich K. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ > > Denny; Thank you for all your help and guidance in the selection of my antenna. It is rare to find someone as honest and willing to help as you. > Sorry that I didn't respond to your question on me needing a crimping tool. Once I got my head out of my pocket (again) I remembered my neighbor has a tele-communications business so the crimper and stripping tool was no problem. > I have the new TV set hooked to the new EZ-HD TV antenna and am amazed at the reception. The set has a signal strength indicator in the menu and it is within 1 or 2 points of maximum on all local stations. Speaking of stations I now receive 29 local stations, had no idea that there were this many available. > I can almost get channel 9 out of Windsor, Canada. Being as I receive the locals so well I will experiment with rotating the antenna more towards the North a little at a time and see what happens to Channel 9. > All in all, I am extremely pleased with the antenna you suggested, with the quality of the merchandise you sent me and most importantly, with your unfailing courtesy and help. Thank you very much. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ > Hi Denny,

2. # TV locations: 2

3. HD only
>
4. Outside
>
5. To the E and NE of the house are large trees

Thanks,

Hello Clay, > The EZ-HD TV antenna will also work great at your mother's location. The narrower end of the antenna should be pointed West/Southwest as you know at 254-56 degrees.
>
Along with the antenna I suggest the HDA 100 amplifier installed on the coax cable down lead just ahead of the signal splitter on the antenna side. This will insure that the signal will remain strong as it's divided by the splitter and it travels the cable to the TV's. > I'm happy to hear the EZ-HD is performing well for you. I'm certain that it will do the same for your mother at her location. Best Regards,

___________________________________________________________________________________ > > Hi Denny,

I have been looking for OTA TV antennas for quite some time. We dropped cable a while back (we weren't watching it and it seemed foolish to be paying close to $100/month). I began my search at Crutchfield, then moved to the AVS Forums, the the Wineguard and SolidSignal sites before I found your site. You do seem to have quite a bit of information but I am still confused.
>
I would like to find an outdoor antenna for OTA Digital reception. I would like to be able to use the existing coax runs that are in the house (quad-shielded cable with crimped connects I wired myself when we had pay tv. There are 4 existing drops and a 4-way splitter from the CTV install.
>
I cannot determine a good antenna for me. My address is:
>
___________ Road, Mountainside, NJ 07092. Like the name suggests, we are on the side of a hill with most of the NY/NJ stations at about 80/90 degrees of us. The house is a single-story ranch about 25 feet high. We have 30-40 foot high trees surrounding us on the property. I estimate that an antenna mounted on the eave or tripod would be at about 25-30 feet.
>
I have read your previous recommendations for some of your NJ clients In Fanwood and Edison (both relatively nearby to me) and saw that you suggested either the Winegard HD 7080P TV antenna <http://www.dennysantennaservice.com/1248339.html> + pre-amp or the EZ-HD antenna.
>
Could you please help me in determining a good TV antenna for this application?
>
Thank you.

Greetings Jonathan, > I examined the reception data from two separate sources and found that the EZ-HD TV antenna is a perfect match for your location. Along with the antenna I suggest the HDA 100 distribution amplifier. Install this unit within a 50 foot or less coax cable run from the antenna before the signal splitter on the antenna side. Make sure your signal splitter goes from 50 MHz to at least 900 MHz. Some splitters designed for cable TV only go up to 450 MHz which will not work well for OTA signals. > I am very confident that this equipment properly installed (I'm here to help if you need it) will provide you with excellent digital reception. > If you would like step by step detailed information on how to install the equipment, or if I can assist you in anyway, please don't hesitate to contact me. > Best Regards, Denny Duplessis TV Antenna Source "Helping America Watch Free TV" >

Thanks Denny. I appreciate the guidance.

This is what I am currently looking at. Anything I have overlooked? Too much perhaps?

Thanks! I have just place the order. I will probably be in touch when I start the install.

I just have to say again, thank you for all of your help. Happy to make a testimonial should you like one for your website. It has been a pleasure

Hi Denny,
>
First, let me thank you for your help and guidance so far - also your prompt shipping. UPS delivered two boxes yesterday and I went up on the roof shortly after 2pm to begin the install. Finished about 7:30 (including breaktimes). Not bad overall I think for a non-pro.....
>
I spent some time making sure I was organized and had everything I would need (and that the wasps in the eaves were dead....). I guess the one thing I overlooked was that my Thomas/Betts coax stripper would prepare my cable ends for the Lock & Seal connectors so I had to do a bit more manual trimming than I might have had to do otherwise.
>
The eave bracket and mast went up without any trouble. The antenna & balun also went up easily. I oriented the antenna towards 91 degrees since most of my stations are in that direction. Wired up the HDA100 and grounded and connected everything.

Denny,

I wanted to take a moment to write and thank you. I have spent the last couple of month's looking for antennas for my location. It wasn't until the last month or so that I came across your website. You were prompt in your responses to all of my pre-sales question (although I think some of my emails from Google's Gmail may not have made it through your spam filters). Since ordering, your customer service has been incredible, and I truly appreciate all of your help.
>
The order tracking info was sent automatically without my asking and the delivery was prompt. Your guidance also gave me the confidence to get up on the roof the same afternoon that I received the antenna and supplies - confidence to know that I had everything I needed to complete the job on my own (and I have never installed an antenna before)
>
Last night we received a number of new digital channels and are enjoying not paying a monthly fee to the Cable Co any longer.
>
Thank you.

> Denny, > Thanks for providing such a thorough and informative web site on TV antennas. I live in Culver City which is a suburb of Los Angeles, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that you have a link to Los Angeles on your home page. I clicked it and read about your EZ-HD TV antenna. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical that an antenna that small could provide good reception. But since you have a money back guarantee I decided to give it a try. Installing that compact antenna on my mast was so much easier than the old one which is more than twice as large as the EZ-HD. Of course the real test is how well it received the signals from Mt. Wilson which is about 25 miles northeast of my house. I currently watch digital TV only, either through an HDTV ATSC tuner or a TV converter box. All of the channels in my area come through strong and clear and I'm not using any type of signal amplifier. The EZ-HD TV antenna may not work for everyone, but for my purposes this antenna is just perfect. I am so glad that I Googled antennas and found your site! Thanks for making the EZ-HD antenna available to us out here in LA. > Jeff K.

> You made a GREAT antenna (EZ-HD Antenna)
>
I'm happy with the performance of the antenna! Once I pointed it
East as you suggested, I get zero jitters or dropouts from the local
stations.
>
Anyone I know that decides to go this route I'll most definitely be
sending them to your site. (Dad's still contemplating.)
