Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • Q: Why my antenna doesn't rotate?
  • A: Check if you are using only single coax cable connect from antenna to the control box (ANT IN), if splitter and additional coax cable is used in between them, it could block the signal and power. And splitter should be installed on RF IN/TV 2 from the control box.
  • Q: Why the remote control is not working?
  • A: You will have to point the remote directly to the front window of the control box within 10ft to get it work, a green light should come on which indicates the antenna is rotating.
  • Q: How does the rotation wok?
  • A: As long as you are holding the button (remote or control box top button), the antenna will rotate all the way 360 degree, and it will turn back around when it reaches the end.
  • Q: Why there's a yellow light comes on from the control box as soon as I connect the coax cable to the control box?
  • A: Yellow light comes on meaning something wrong with the connection, check if you are using a splitter in between the antenna and control box, try using only one single coax cable from antenna to the control box and see if the yellow light comes on again.
  • Q: Why the control box doesn't power up?
  • A: Try disconnect all the cable from the control box and leave the ac adapter on, if there's still no red light on top of the control box, then use a voltage meter to check with the ac adapter and see if there's voltage, if there is then it is the control box is bad, but if there's no voltage that means it is the ac adapter is bad.

Review this product

Share your thoughts with other customers

Customers say

Customers find the antenna easy to assemble and install, with good picture quality and the ability to pick up at least 47 channels. The functionality and build quality receive mixed feedback - while some say it works well and is well-made, others report issues with the remote control not working and describe it as flimsy. Reception and value for money also get mixed reviews, with some praising the excellent reception while others mention 200-mile claims are misleading, and some find it worth the cost while others consider it a waste of money.

One of the big 4 just wouldn’t come in. So, taking advice from these reviews, I trashed the amplifier. I get more channels now, including all of the big 4. I love it!

    We cut the cord years ago and purchased one of these back then. After several years of tropical storms and a couple hurricanes, it finally wore out. It still had a great picture, but the antenna moved all on it's own when the wind blew. We loved it so much and it works so well, that we just bought a second one. We get more channels than I can count and the pictures are so clear that it looks like we still have cable.

    I bought this antenna with great expectations. I used LAVA antennas for more than ten years. The first LAVA antenna lasted almost a full ten years before the rotator motor died. It had been wonderful and I was able to receive ALL broadcast stations in Maine, not only those within 30 miles of where I live, but those from southern Maine, the broadcast towers of which are all more than 100 miles away.

    The new Lava antenna failed. I worked for nearly two months with Lava customer service to try to figure out why the new antenna wouldn't pick-up the relatively near by signals from the NBC affiliate. That signal is the lowest frequency and the new antenna just wouldn't "see" it at all. That antenna JUST DOESN'T WORK.

    I bought this 5 Star antenna chiefly because of its slightly larger size and antenna component design and placement. The specifications indicated it should work and the added benefit of the rotor is that since some of the signals we were used to receiving were from the opposite direction of others, the results should have been promising.

    The 5-Star antenna failed just as badly as the LAVA antenna failed. Since I am not an engineer I decided to spend some money and consult with someone who understood all of the physical aspects of over the air tv. The result after lengthy consultation was that while my antenna location and elevation above the ground was fine, the antenna amplfiers in the antennas that I had on hand... a new LAVA antenna AND a 5-Star antenna...were simply not strong enough or of high enough quality to reliably pick up the channels, particularly the low band broadcasts (NBC).

    So I give up. Despite the excellent results we had originally from 2011-2020, I have come to the decision that these low cost antennas have become of such cheap quality that they are no longer suitable for reliable reception unless one is only a few miles from the broadcast towers. If the antenna is further away from a broadcast tower than ten miles or so, there is no guarantee that it will "see" the television signals.

    I am returning the 5-Star antenna and I am very disappointed.

    I received the antenna and saved the box. I wasn’t sure I’d like it based on some of the reviews. I’m glad I waited and tried it for myself. I first of all assembled the antenna and hooked it up inside of my house right next to the TV and I received 24 stations. Already better than the cheap antenna that that I bought locally which only received 4 stations depending on the weather. Granted that antenna was $17.
    So I debated if I wanted to put it in the attic or outside of the house. I watched a video from the Antenna Man who convinced me in his YouTube video that an outside would be better, so I went outside and figured out a good place to mount it on a facia board. I drilled a hole through the wall and ran the coaxial cable that came with the antenna. I added a ground to the antenna per the antenna man, and when I finally hooked up the coaxial cable to the TV and did the auto program, I was stunned to find 56 channels coming in! Some signals are broadcast in less than Hd signal, but were all a solid signal and Did not get that digital pixelation drop out. I do not have a signal amplifier on but I’m thinking about adding one in. I did add in the supplied splitter and sent signals to two other TVs. They all get excellent pictures and to my amazement, my tv in my downstairs even received some additional channels that the upstairs tv did not. I suspect that tuner is more sensitive. I’m not an expert installer. I think I need a taller pole because if I were to rotate the antenna now it may hit the roof, but with this many tv stations, I may just leave well enough alone. Incidentally, I figured out how to delete those stations I don’t want so it is almost better than having cable tv. For reference, I’m about 20 miles out of a decent sized city in Oregon. In Los Angeles, I used to get over 200 channels over the air but I watched about 10 of them.
    Hope this review helps you all enjoy the free tv signals that are out there. One thing I should mention is watch the guy assembling the antenna video on Amazon. The instructions are not so clear and the pieces do face certain ways. It is easy enough to put thing backwards. I had to correct some wing nuts and the two “tail feather” attachments. I had mine pointing the wrong easement I irate started assembling.

    I received the antenna and saved the box. I wasn’t sure I’d like it based on some of the reviews. I’m glad I waited and tried it for myself. I first of all assembled the antenna and hooked it up inside of my house right next to the TV and I received 24 stations. Already better than the cheap antenna that that I bought locally which only received 4 stations depending on the weather. Granted that antenna was $17.
    So I debated if I wanted to put it in the attic or outside of the house. I watched a video from the Antenna Man who convinced me in his YouTube video that an outside would be better, so I went outside and figured out a good place to mount it on a facia board. I drilled a hole through the wall and ran the coaxial cable that came with the antenna. I added a ground to the antenna per the antenna man, and when I finally hooked up the coaxial cable to the TV and did the auto program, I was stunned to find 56 channels coming in! Some signals are broadcast in less than Hd signal, but were all a solid signal and Did not get that digital pixelation drop out. I do not have a signal amplifier on but I’m thinking about adding one in. I did add in the supplied splitter and sent signals to two other TVs.

    What a amazing antenna. I picked up almost 40 channels . I installed it on top of my rv , there are trees in the way yet it still picked up all the channels
    Super easy to assemble.
    There are plastic parts so I recommend protecting the plastic with silicone spray or another method . Other wise the life will be shorten
    I would not install this antenna on a spot where you can’t access it easy because of the maintenance probably needed to maintain the plastic parts
    Great antenna for rvs though .

    The Antenna is made for the U.S. not Australia. It doesn't work. So no point in selling this here. All we want is a power box as this is the only thing that doesn't work. However they won't sell it separately. It is erected and hard to get down. I'm trying to get a power box. I have sent emails and I can't get any help. Not happy.

    5.0 out of 5 stars to get the position to receive the most channels that are available is hard to find.

    The Arial works great but the remote is garbage and to find out the position the Arial is in, is hard to figure out because the Arial turns in any direction when you push the button on the control unit I used a Mirror and watched the Arial through the Window to see what position it is in I picked up 78 Channels after to hours of moving the Arial I had a different Arial before and I picked up 68 channels which was a 150- mile reach was also the same to set it up.
