The Antennas Direct® 8-Element Bowtie antenna is a high-performance UHF antenna array with a range of 70+ miles and unsurpassed gain of 17.4 dB. This multi-directional bowtie HDTV antenna features specially designed brackets which allow the 2 antenna panels to turn in different directions to target broadcast television towers, so you get more free TV channels even if your towers are spread out. Antennas Direct® has brought the Bowtie outdoor TV antenna into the 21st century with its patented design which allows for easy installation options that are off-limits to much larger antennas. It is ideal for rural and suburban installations challenged with pulling in signals through heavy foliage or roofing materials when TV towers are far away. The reflectors add forward gain and focus the antenna's power to protect the incoming TV signal from interference that causes pixelation or a complete loss of picture. It is compatible with our VHF kit (sold separately) for even more channels. If you had cable or satellite installed before, the coaxial cable needed to distribute signal throughout your home may already be installed - simply connect the DB8-e to the existing coaxial cable and you've got free local TV from the networks. Find your TV channels and towers on our website or using our free Antenna Point app on Android™ or iOS™ devices. Coaxial cable and mast sold separately.
