I just replaced an old cheep flat antenna with this Channel Master FLATenna 35/ without the amplifier. WOW, What a world or difference! My old one had a very thin cable. The Channel Master came with a good quality RG6 cable it has made a lot of difference! I'm picking up about 47 channels! Fortunately I live within about 30-35 miles from most of my local broadcast antennas with mainly flat terrain.
I use the amplified version of that Channelmaster antenna at the beach. The performance is amazing when those flat antennas usually fall short. I think the amplifier and the good coaxial cable is what makes the difference.
I just bought this from Channel Master website. Should arrive in sometime next week. I currently have a generic flat antenna mounted on the wall of a 2nd story room and I get most STL channels well except PBS which is a favorite for me. Im approx 30 to 35 miles from the broadcast towers. My home is high on a hill and its 2 stories with an attic. I'll update this when I get the CM 35 and try it out.
I appreciate the recommendations and tips in this video, but some key data points were missing in the review. First, it wasn't noted if the reception measurements were made with or without the amplifier installed. Second, the "last two" antennas tested are not clearly identified. I would be particularly interested to know how this Channel Master compares to the Winegard FL5500A. I do love these reviews, but a little more information would make them even more useful. Perhaps instead of simply comparing an antenna to "the last two" that were reviewed, a comparison to 'the last BEST two' would be more helpful.
Love your video's Tyler. Is Amazon the only place to get one of these Channel Masters? I hate making Bezos richer, but I suppose you get a cut and that's OK. Also, they promote a coax extension cable by ChannelMaster when you add this item to the cart. Do you think that is necessary?
this project was going to be a complete failure until we were blessed with this absolute gigachad single-handingly saving it by just existing in this video, I will now subscribe and donate all my life savings towards this movement.
Hello. I realize this video is a bit older. I just got this product for my mother. She connected everything and she said it was channel searching. She set it where it was facing the nearest towers. Once she set the adhesive and put it into the window something went wrong. Now when she goes to AV, it says “No Signal. Is It On ?” We could use some advice. Thank you.
Where o where is the Flatenna+? Been waiting for months for these to be restocked. I have one but need another. What's taking so long? Does anyone have a clue when they will restock? Or can I find one somewhere online? Please help.
I just received 2 of the more expensive with amplifier. But had to remove the amplifier to get any channels. So I have to pay for shipping to return them......When I asked for help, they sent me instructions I already followed , and a link for the return.
Great question! There are many types of antennas. To find the best one for your home, take our easy antenna quiz at www.thefreetvproject.org/get-right-tv-antenna/
I just tried the antenna with amplifier. Got zero channels. removed to power inserter and amplifier and got 17 channels. still missing 1 local. Which is 1 more channel than the 4 I tried from local stores. So I reduced it to the cheaper antenna, and now I have to pay for shipping to return it, because when I asked Cheannel Master for help with the problem. They resent me the instructions I had already followed , and a link to return it, charging me for the return shipping. So warning.............. maybe don't bother paying extra for the amplifier. A joke.
I believe you need to have television on the TV input for the channel section to be selected. It's that way with my television. If I'm using any other input, the TV/antenna is grayed out.
Did anyone notice, that he only did one scan, and did it, without the Amplifier? Where's the second scan, this time with the Amplifier, at? Stuff like this, is why, that, after all these years..... I STILL haven't subscribed to this guy..... And I never will!!!
I just bought 2 with amplifier. Got zero channels with the ampllifier, and about 1 more channel than locally purchased antennas after I removed the amplifier. Asked Channel master for help and they sent me a copy of instructions I already followed and a link to return them, with me paying for the return shipping. No help as to why I got zero channels with amplifier.

Got about a 20% jump in reception by switching to a good rg6 coaxial with the good tips.

Do you have an update, Doug?

You can get it directly on the Channelmaster website like I did. And, you’re right……Bezos is a douche.

How about if i also have a cable box?? where would the coax get plugged
I have a metal roof. Is it necessary to install an outdoor one?
This antenna work just has good or better than some of the other outdoor antennas you have tested
