EZ HD TV antenna review

Dennis
Just wanted to follow up with you. I received the remainder of the kit on Wednesday, thanks again. I completed my installation in my attic today (Saturday) and I've attached a picture. Everything is running great, all nine channels that I am able to receive are at full strength according to my television. Just for reference all the towers in my area are on the same hill about 9 miles from my house and within 3 to 4 degrees of one another. I used the handy compass I purchased as well to point me exactly where I needed to be. I called Time Warner and cancelled my cable service, they tried to wheel and deal me but I told them, no thanks, they should have done that a few months ago when I originally called to see if I could get a lower rate. Thanks to you I control my own television destiny and my father who helped me with the install is thinking of doing the same in the near future, I made sure to give him your web site.
Best wishes,

Martin has installed a J pole upside down and
attached it to a roof rafter in the attic. It appears
he has attached a second 2x4 to the rafter to
accomidate the J pole foot. Nice job!

Hi Dennis. I just wanted to let you know I installed the antenna and amp (EZ HD antenna/AP 8700 preamplifier) a couple of days ago and I couldn't be happier. I picked up 51 stations - 49 digital and 2 analog. A couple of the digital stations pixellate and the two analog are staticy. A couple of them are audio only - (why you need to broadcast audio like that I'll never know) and a few are Spanish but I hope to learn Spanish so that's a good thing. Anyways everything is working better than expected and I'll refer anyone that needs a set up your way. Thanks.

I bought the EZ HD antenna. Figured it had to be better than rabbit ears. I set it on my roof to see and went from 7 channels to 27! I was flabbergasted. And it's not even mounted yet! Great antenna for a great price!

Hi Denny,
We are very pleased with our EZ HD antenna. Last Friday we tried to get on our roof and it is too steep we decided to try it in the attic. After an initial test we installed a pole in the rafters and our reception couldn't be better. We are receiving every channel possible and the picture is great. We had to try a few different positions and re scan but in no time all channels looked beautiful. ANT THE REALLY GOOD NEWS... the screen is filled and it is in HD which I do like.
This Sunday when we watched the super bowl on FOX it was such a different experience from the severely pillared boxed non HD former version fron cable.
Thank you for your help I hope to send you some business.
Again, thank you,

I just wanted to say thanks for the EZ HD Antenna(s) I have purchased from you. They are better than advertised.

Reading your section on who should purchase this antenna and limitations to expect I was skeptical that my installations would work. I was prepared to install and if it did not work, write off the cost and order the larger version. Both (my home and my fathers) installations are in one story attics surrounded by trees 54 miles from the main TV stations we want (ABC, CBS).
I'll provide me home address and you can see on google satellite the trees and terrain that surrounds my home. My home address is

Thank you Denny, we no longer pay high cable/satellite bills and do not worry about the antenna when the occasional hurricane passes through here. I would also like to compliment your staff. My father made a mistake on his order and the staff caught it, called me and resolved the problem. Oh and thank you for the quick shipping. You guys are great.

Dennis,
I have installed the EZ HD antenna and what a picture I receive. I am about 50 miles from the transmitting antennas and my signal strength ranges from 84 to 96 on all channels I receive. I do not have any picture fade as of yet and we had a 30 knot wind on Saturday out of the north.

Dennis,
I installed our new EZ HDantenna with the HDA100. Installed as you instructed and the results were nothing short of AMAZING. We now get 39 channels with crystal clear picture. Thank you without your help I would have had to cave in to cable TV. I will be sure to promote you and your company every chance I get..

I've been researching antennas for weeks in the hope of dropping cox cable company due to large price increases here in Scottsdale. Our main transmitting tower is 28 miles away so I figured I'd give it a shot. I wanted to try an indoor attic antenna (I know the restrictions with a stucco house) due to HOA hassles in McDowell Mountain Ranch community. I was going to get one of those little "high tech" antennas but saw they were very short and had too much plastic to take our 115 degree + roof top temps here--nothing made of plastic ever holds up. Then I came across your wonderful site and your solid engineering knowledge convinced me to get the proper sized antenna for the minimum wavelengths required for good RF reception. Plus the fact your antenna was all aluminum and looked well built. I was getting only 3 HDchannels with a set top antenna with power levels in the yellow 50-55 range and some pixelation/freezing. I put the EZ HD with mount in the peak of the attic and placed in high up at the peak of the roof facing out 18" off the right side of the metal ventilation grill opening and aligned it with my trusty compass and voila. I got 70-71 green levels and a ton of perfect HD channels (15+) which looked much better than cable. Then I stopped by Walmart and picked up a Phillips 18DB amplifier just to see if it would help boost the attic signal and boom--all levels are now at 82-85 range and I get 23 beautiful HD channels and another 30+ regular clear stations. Thank you for your honest and straight shooting site and your return guarantee is the best around-you obviously stand behind your products. I added on 2 more HD TV sets through a splitter and I still get strong signals and no pixelating/freezing. My wife is thrilled and is dumping cable today saving us $660.00 a year. Now that feels really great !

Denny,
I have to tell you just how impressed I am with your EZantenna. The reception is great to say the least but what I am most impressed with is quality of construction. It's second to none! I appreciate that I don't feel like I got ripped off.

I bought the EZ-HD TV antenna. It was as easy as antennas are to install and performs exactly the way you described. Located in Stockton, at roof height, I am able to receive 14 channels, mostly out of Sacramento and one out of San Jose. Aiming the antenna differently may find more. It would be great to see San Francisco channels, but that may not be possible. I am pleased with your antenna.

I just wanted to thank you for selling a quality antenna that works as advertised, the EZ-HD. I have been struggling for over a year trying to pull in one particular station on a VHF frequency (WFAA in Dallas, TX), and after investing in three name brand antennas that failed to get the job done, I finally had success with your EZ-HD. Not only does it pick up our one and only VHF station, it picks up all of our UHF stations with 87+ signal strength. Now I can actually set back and watch television rather than climb into the attic (again) and re-aim my antenna all day.
Thank you for selling the VERY best antenna for the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

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 HD 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!

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.

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 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, withoutthe 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.

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.

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.

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 amplifierinstalled 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.

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.

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.)
