Many TV antennas claim to reach 100 miles or more, but range isn’t the key. Antenna gain is a better measure of performance. It shows how well an antenna captures UHF and VHF signals. Distance matters, but gain and design are more important for getting channels. Picking the right antenna and mounting it properly also help. Understanding gain will improve your reception.

The Antop 800SBS is a multi-directional TV antenna for UHF and VHF channels. It performs well for receiving free local broadcasts, including HI-V and Low-V. You can expect to get signals from up to 50 miles away with outdoor or attic mounting. Terrain and obstacles may affect reception. This antenna ranks among the best indoor and outdoor options I’ve tested.

Think of a TV antenna amplifier like a megaphone for your TV. It can improve reception but doesn’t always help. Too much amplification can make the picture worse, especially if you’re close to towers. Be careful not to confuse built-in gain with external amplification. Your antenna’s gain is key for receiving signals from distant towers.
