There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My husband attached the required size of pole to the rotation unit, and then placed that whole antenna set-up into the former Internet satellite dish bracket (as shown). There already was an unused coaxial cable strung around our house into the basement from a previous DISH Network dish location, which we plan to eventually utilize for the antenna. However, just to make sure the antenna worked OK, we at first attached the included white 75-foot coaxial cable directly to the antenna, brought it down from the roof and into our back porch. There we had a TV our college-age daughter had used in her dorm in a town 30 miles away from our home. Due to her dorm room's cable problem this past semester, she had a small indoor flat antenna attached to her TV for the entire semester and was able to get 15 or 20 channels. So, those channels were already programmed into the TV, three of which were based out of the same college town 30 miles away..
After attaching the other end of the coaxial cable into the rotation unit, attaching the other smaller white coaxial cable from the rotation unit to the back of the TV, plugging in both the TV and the unit, and powering both on. . .we instantly had most of the channels that were previously programmed into the TV. We didn't take the time to do a scan, but I'm sure we will get many more channels after we do. It appears that we may also be getting some additional channels from a larger metropolitan city which happens to be about 125 miles away from us. The antenna worked GREAT !! Some of the channels required the rotation, and it took a little while to determine when we needed to do so. I would push the remote or the button on the top of the unit, and my husband would watch as to whether it rotated. No problem there, and it cleared the DISH Network dish sufficiently.
What became a little more complicated was the fact that I wanted to integrate the antenna channels into our DISH Network programming. I've had a smaller indoor antenna attached to a couple of our TVs for a year or two and I am tired of having the channels maybe come in, or not and also of having to switch a splitter button I've been using back and forth for cable / antenna. I researched on the DISH Network web site about what needs to be done to accomplish this integration. Our DISH receiver is a 722k. I don't intend to upgrade to a Hopper and am overall satisfied with the 722k we've had for several years. According to what I found online for a 722 DISH receiver, there was suppose to be a coaxial cable port on the left side of the back of our receiver, which according to the instructions seemed pretty straight forward. I looked at the back of our DISH receiver, and couldn't find any such thing. I called support for DISH and was told that they will have to have their guy come out and unscrew the back because the port is inside. With agreeing to the reinstating of the $8 per month DISH service plan for at least 6 months, the service call wouldn't cost the regular $99 fee. They even made an appointment for him to come out the next morning. When the DISH guy came out, he at first did his required reception checks, and determined that one of the three satellites DISH uses is receiving poor reception. We told him that we really hadn't noticed any problem, but as you can see from the picture, the trees were the problem - not from the BoostWave antenna being too close as you would think. As for the DISH Network dish, our only option was to move the DISH Network dish for a third time, to a pole out past the trees which would involve digging up our great lawn that has new underground sprinklers. So we declined that service and stated that we really didn't notice that much of a problem and would just put up with it for the time being.
So, on to the question of how to connect the antenna to the back of the receiver. The DISH guy became just about as perplexed as I was about where that coaxial cable port was on the back of our DISH receiver. I even showed him what I had printed off of the DISH web site about it. He called his company's tech support and did as he was instructed, but no coaxial cable port was found inside the receiver either. After much consultation with support, it was finally determined that the 722k receiver we have doesn't have the port - only the plain 722 receiver does.
Don't get me wrong, I am in no way unsatisfied about DISH Network, except that it is costly. We have been long, long time DISH Network customers, and they have been very accommodating all of these years. I'm not getting any compensation from DISH for being in support of them. As I said, there are a few DISH channels we just aren't ready to give up yet, but we also like several of the antenna channels. We won't be able to get a lot of channels through the antenna even with the 125-mile range due to our location, but we will get enough to make it worthwhile with some area local networks channels from towns not in our DISH Network locality, and with channels like MeMyTV, THIS, Comet, and Antenna TV, and the two other channels based out of that nearby town. I'd like to have the best of both worlds if possible. The DISH Network guy said that we could swap out our older 722k receiver for a brand new 722 regular receiver at no cost. When I am ready to do that, they will send it to me, and even walk me through attaching and programming the antenna if necessary. I don't foresee any problem with the intended set up. To make sure one last time that everything was in working order with the antenna, I also attached that same TV we used before to the actual coaxial cable that is strung around our house into the basement where the DISH receiver is, which will eventually be plugged into the DISH receiver. I again plugged both the TV and rotation monitor in, attached the coaxial cables, and turned them both on. We again instantly had the 15 to 20 channels that were already programmed into the TV, even without a scan. A few again needed to be "Rotated" to come in better, and but that worked out OK too. I'm actually anxious to get it all set up and integrated with DISH, and to scan it to see how many more cool, free channels we will get.

INSTALLATION = pretty straightforward. The instructions are pretty basic and should have a bit more detail of the electrical connections. This antenna has to mount in an attic or in a garage. It would never survive outdoors (at least not in Minnesota).
PERFORMANCE = My existing antenna delivered 23 clear channels without an amplifier and 31 channels with a CM7777 amplifier. This antenna delivered 5 channels without an amplifier and the same 31 channels with its amplifier, so this antenna clearly needs its amplifier. An upside is you'll know the amplifier died when you only get a few channels.
ROTATOR = weird and has a mind of its own. May move CW or may move CCW. I think it wants to rotate the right way but reverses direction when it bangs into the load. There's so much backlash in the system that the motor starts without load, then engages the load, and then reverses. The remote is IR line of sight, so its use is limited. However, you don't have to climb a ladder to adjust it. And for me, I only have to adjust it once, which I did after a little effort.
AMPLIFIER = didn't give me any confidence after I opened it up. The assembly is definitely hand labor in a garage environment. The amplifier is what makes this product work. I'm assuming the quality of the assembly is representative of the quality of the components. The design may be fantastic, but there is more to a quality product than just the design.

I bought this one and put it outside on the fence about 5 1/2 feet off the ground. I'm able to get 36 stations! Some stations drift in and out but using the remote I'm able to get a clear picture. I wanted to see if it really worked before I get a pole for it and put it on the roof.
It was very easy to put together and install. It came with 50' of coax which is plenty.
You will need two AAA batteries for the remote though.
So far I'm loving it.
I then put it up at roof level. It works pretty good. Depending on weather some stations drift in and out. Overall I'm satisfied with the product.
UPDATE:
I moved and left this antenna at the house. I went to buy the same one but the price doubled in 5 years. I'll look for an alternative.
When the antenna arrived the instructions were vague but it was easy enough to figure out how it went together. When climbing up onto the roof I found it needs quite a narrow pole to mount it to any standard antenna pole.
After installing it we found it to be no stronger than the previous antenna and that the rotor that moves the antenna did not function.
I went back up to the roof and my aging parents were helping hand tools up to me. My mother handed my 10 month old son to my father and climbed up a couple of steps of the ladder to hand me some zip ties. When she stepped off she slipped and fell hitting her head off of the wood gate and breaking her arm. I very large gaping laceration and bone sticking out of her arm told me right away it was broken. My father yelled to me “emergency!” I flew down the ladder and to my mothers aid. She was sobbing saying “what if the baby was still in my arms?” I helped her up and sat her down in a chair, my son and father crying and terrified. I wrapped her arm and put it into a sling and assessed her for further injury. She was rushed to the emergency room for cat scans and xrays. A cast and 38 stitches later she was released. I only pray my son is not emotionally scarred as much as my mothers arm. All this because of this poorly constructed tv antenna that promised my parents so much but did not deliver. For this reason I returned the antenna and do not recommend it or these types of problems can happen.
Update: I have had this installed for a few months now. In addition to poor reception, the antenna will not rotate anymore.
As a side note, I don't know how but the item arrived 14 hours after I clicked "accept" to send the payment. Ordered at 7pm, arrived at 9am the next day!
Rotor works great easy to assemble would be nice if the support tube diameter would be larger but it does fits the tube provided OK
I will adapt to my antenna post
btw this unit needs a HD digital converter if your TV does not have one integrated In my area we have next to no more VHF signals anyway
and regular UHF may be going and replaced with high feq. digital UHF...... hence the need for a converter box (not expensive)
my hopes are high and anxious to rid myself of the big VHF antenna........ bird rack :-)
update june 27th 2018…. Conclusion works so good ordered a second antenna for my neighbor and will need a 3rd one for my second cottage
very satisfied so far…..but unable to reach product@superdealreview.com to send a e-mail to claim my 2.... free mini antenna good for 25
miles they offered them as gifts for submitting reviews of the VIEW TV 150 miles antenna
