Overview
- Tom’s Guide names the Mohu Gateway Plus its best indoor model after in‑house tests, while ranking Antop’s AT‑800SBS as the top indoor/outdoor option and Winegard’s Elite 7550 as the best outdoor performer with strong LTE interference filtering.
- Popular Science selects the Antop AT‑800SBS‑J as best overall, recommends the Mohu Leaf Supreme Pro for indoor setups, and favors Antennas Direct’s 8‑Element Bowtie for outdoor installs.
- Long‑range picks such as Five Star’s amplified outdoor antennas are touted up to 200 miles, though reviewers and customers note real‑world reliability is often closer to about 100 miles.
- Guides advise matching gear to distance and terrain, with small indoor antennas suiting city homes and amplified or roof‑mounted units recommended beyond roughly 30 miles from broadcast towers.
- Both outlets point to tools like AntennaWeb and FTC DTV maps to locate towers, and note modern features such as adjustable or USB‑powered amplifiers, detachable cables, and LTE/4G blockers, with ATSC 3.0 support requiring compatible tuners as the 2030 rollout target approaches.
