We have not cut the cord here, but occasionally our TV provider drops out or gets in a snit with a wholesaler and some of the channels disappear..... just before the Big Game. So I set up a simple double dipole antenna on a stick sitting behind the TV. We use it to pick up the OTA channels to watch the news and the Big Game in those situations.

I originally set up the antenna by guessing and rescanning, and that worked fairly well. Living in the suburbs of a major metropolitan area, the signals are strong. But we do get noise and dropouts frequently, so I purchased the AntennaMan signal meter to see if I could do better.

Long story short, the signal meter worked as advertised. I ended up rotating the antenna about 90 degrees, and the dropouts are gone. All the major channels come in solid now. We don't use the antenna very often, but when we need it, it is nice to know that the channels will be solid.

Constructive feedback: The unit gets quite warm when it works, so be careful where you put it if you use it as a tuner. Also, the power cord is short (about 30 inches), but a cheap extension cord fixes that problem.

I won't be using it very much since the antenna is now set up properly, but it was well worth the purchase price to get the problem resolved.

Got the order fast

As a guy who has always prided himself on having the biggest and baddest antenna setup in my area I've said for years that somebody should make a device like this and here it is! It works great and has made my life so much easier when it comes to tuning in channels. I highly recommend this device to anyone with an antenna. You won't be disappointed 🙂

Thank you for the fast service and great support. Very informative.

The signal meter works as advertised and has proven very useful. One minor issue is the light weight materials the housing is made of, so handle with care. I would have given it four and a half stars if only judge.me had made it possible.
