The range of a TV antenna depends on the type of antenna and the broadcast signal conditions:

• Indoor antennas typically have a range of 20-50 miles.

• Outdoor antennas can reach up to 120 miles, which is the maximum effective range for over-the-air broadcast signals due to the curvature of the Earth and signal degradation over long distances.

It’s worth noting that some products claim to have reception ranges of 200 miles or more. However, this is not physically possible under normal broadcast conditions. Over-the-air signals begin to fade and lose quality beyond 120 miles, making such claims misleading.

Why do some antennas, including ours, indicate ranges over 200 miles?
While our antennas are manufactured to the highest standards in the industry, offering superior reception and build quality, we face a significant challenge:

• If we honestly label our products with the realistic range of 120 miles, many consumers might overlook our antennas, opting instead for products that falsely claim exaggerated ranges of 200 miles or more.

• Unfortunately, these deceptive practices dominate the market, and customers often end up buying low-quality products based on these false promises.

This creates a classic example of “bad money driving out good”, where misleading advertising overshadows the high-quality products that deliver on their promises. To stay competitive and ensure our customers still have access to superior products, we sometimes use the same industry-standard language while emphasizing that our range claims are based on optimized conditions and realistic performance benchmarks.

When shopping for an antenna, we encourage consumers to focus on factors like signal strength, terrain, and nearby interference, rather than being swayed solely by exaggerated range claims. Our priority remains delivering high-quality, reliable antennas that outperform expectations within the real limitations of over-the-air broadcasting.
