Pro-Model UHF/VHF TV Antenna

I usually don't write product reviews but I felt this product deserved a good review, especially for those of you on the fence about buying this antenna. I also bought the Pro-Mount and Pro Tube 30" mast as well. First of all these are high quality products, nothing cheap in their build quality at all. Secondly, compared the cheap Chinese made antenna i had up before my reception is much much better. Signal quality is greatly improved and no pixelating from a station that is 60 miles away, it used to pixilate all the time. Installation was a breeze and based on the quality and sturdiness of the antenna, mount, and mast, I know it'll get many useful years out it. Definitely worth the price, don't buy that cheap garbage, spend a little more, and get a high quality American made product, you won't be disappointed.

Antenna Shmantenna- all they do is grab a signal and away you go so I bought a legacy brand from a big box store for $35. It faced a couple acres of clear land in the direction of the towers 50 miles away so expected decent reception. Ope- pixelated and frozen picture, intermittent sound, just kinda sucked. Did some research, landed on Channel Master and figured I'd try it- worse came to worse I could add to it with their extension piece or return it. Welp, installed it in the exact same spot (on an old dish mount about 10' up on the side of the house using the existing cable already run to the TV) and damn, they aren't kidding about their product performance. Our air channels are as good as the internet channels now plus it looks way more professional! Even their packaging presented as if you just got something good and the assembly is super simple and strait forward- I appreciate this level of quality besides the follow up customer care to ensure you are getting the performance potential out of their product, there is a real difference! Might add length to the mast to be closer to recommended specs, then might not

I am an Extra class licensed amateur radio operator and have spent thousands of dollars over the years on high quality antennas and know the value a good antenna brings. I was so impressed with the build quality of this unit. Simple clear instructions and everything labelled. I was pleased to “buy local” as we live about 1 hour from their factory in Arizona. I had an older (cheap quality) Amazon amplified antenna that would often pixelate and fade out. But the Channel Master Pro is rock solid. I get 28 stations on both TV’s with no fading or pixelation. The old saying “you get what you pay for” holds true for this unit. I am pleased with my purchased and also happy to “buy local” and support the local economy.

Quality is a word often touted but seldom practiced. Not so in this case... this is one of the most quality crafted antennas that I've seen in quite a while. It's just top notch construction all around. Some assembly required... but you really can't mess it up. The instructions are clear and concise, with photos. Everything is clearly labeled. It is as advertised...no bull. Worth the money.

It is interesting that most of the TV analog antennas disappeared when cable and streaming became available. Now I think people are looking for an alternative source of entertainment because the streaming/cable options have become so expensive and wouldn't mind a small roof mounted antenna if they could save a lot of money. We live in an area that is about 25 miles from the TV broadcast towers but we are in a low lying terrain with a significant tree line blocking the signal. Even cell phones have difficulty here. I tried an indoor antenna and got nothing, not even 1 channel. After extensive research and contacting Channel Master, I purchased the Channel Master Pro, the Pre Amp 1 and a 4 way splitter. A major selling point was their guarantee that it would work or they would refund my money. After receiving the very well built antenna, I mounted it outside on a 10 foot piece of EMT without the preamp and pointed it in the direction of the towers, running a temporary piece of RG6 directly to the TV. I was hoping for a signal from 7 stations and expecting that the signals would be marginal at best. My jaw dropped when the scan found 81 channels, many of them with very strong signals! The next day I mounted it on the roof and included the preamp. I ran the RG6 cable into the basement using the old satellite dish entry point and wired in the power injector and splitter. A final channel scan found 91 channels! If you are on the fence about buying this antenna, go for it and save tons of cash by not paying for local TV access with other providers.
