The Boss antenna was the ticket!
Full signal from 90 miles away! Awesome picture quality. I previously tried the RCA 80 mile antenna and it barely worked with constant drop of channels. Highly recommend and superior quality.

Great antenna!!
I had a "quality" indoor antenna and only recieved 6 local channels. Dat Boss intalled outside has upped channel count to 55. Pulls in signal from a 60 to 65 mile radius from my rural location.

Down in a valley, 60 miles from Stations and two very large Cell towers in the path. Reduce Cell phone interference
This is the very best made antenna I have ever seen and boy does it work well. All channels clear and clean. Televes is made In Spain and redesigned for cell phone rejection and for the now narrow range of Over the Air broadcasting. About $200 bucks. Comes with integrated Pre amp and 2 set splitter. Replaced 10 ft long Winegard SC_2000 / 8200, it was 20 years old. Great in its day but not now. Over the Air broadcasting has really changed over the past 15 years. Airways are as crowded as the morning drive commute.

Great Antenna
This antenna is not cheap but definitely worth the money. I tried to install it in my attic, but the metal roofing prevented it from working well so I moved it outside and it now picks up over 125 channels (yes, most are junk stations, but it picks up the main very well). I probably could have used a less expensive antenna, but I wanted to make sure it would work and last, so it is work the money. I have the signal from this one antenna going to 4 TVs and of course I used a signal amplifier/splitter. It comes with one that splits the signal into 2 outputs, but I wish they gave the option for a 4-way splitter amplifier rather than waste the one that comes with it and buy another one.

Great antenna
If you live far from the desired broadcast tower, then this is for you. I live 60+ miles from some lower power transmitters and still pick them up just fine.
★★★★★
I have 3 of these mounted on a tower
Of all the antennas I have tried and tested nothing compares to Televes. Very pleased!

This antenna works great. Way better than previous Clearstream 4MAX
This antenna works great. We live in kind of a dead zone behind a mountain range from the towers and with our previous Clearstream 4MAX we would constantly get drop outs and messages about weak signals from our FireTV Recast. Since I installed this antenna we have had no dropouts and we no longer get the weak signal messages.

Televes OTA products are the best.
I am a confirmed fan of Televes products. Latest install was a Dat Boss LR mix at my own house. It performs as expected. I live in west central Arkansas, and am able to receive 6 Little Rock Channels as well as 1 Eufaula Oklahoma channel, all from over 80 miles, as well as several closer channels all reliably.
★★★★★
DAT Boss Mix LR
Replaced my 25 year old antenna with the DAT Boss Mix LR and now receive about 95 channels works great well worth the price. Would definitely recommend this antenna.

A TRUSTED NAME
I HAVE NOT INSTALLED THIS PRODUCT YET, BUT I HAVE A LOT OF FAITH IN THIS COMPANY AND ITS PRODUCTS AND ITS POLICIES.
Thanks Televes!
After trying MANY high gain antennas over the years, I decided to give the Televes 149884 a try and WOW! Not only do I receive my local channels but 2 other long range markets and 2 VHF stations in a 3rd market consistently at 88 miles. Thanks Televes!
Televes antenna products; IMO, the best bang for your buck!
Televes rules! I am a professional installer in Costa Rica as part of a group of five installers who work in different parts of the country. I am also a mechanical engineer with some experience on telecom projects which have exposed me to RF technology. Many areas of Costa Rica have a mountainous topography so OTA coverage can be difficult or impossible for some sites. We deal with LOS, diffracted and bounced (echoes) signals on our installations. Our main repeater farm is located in Volcan Irazu, 3,400 m AMSL and serves mainly the city of San Jose, the central valley and some areas to the west. My knowledge of Televes started around 2015 or 2016 after watching YouTube videos from Domo Electra with Manuel Amate from Spain. I noticed that his favorite antenna on his installations was Televes so I decided to give it a try. My experience with Televes products dates back to 2017 when I purchased my first antenna in the US, a VZenit UHF which I installed at my house in Santa Ana, San Jose, Costa Rica. It was my fifth antenna until I finally got the results I was looking for. Costa Rica is a UHF-only country for OTA DTV. No headaches with VHF, much less Low VHF. I have installed most of Televes antenna models such as Ellipse, VZenit, DATboss (LR and regular) and the Dinova. I consider Televes products of superb quality materials, well-built and with excellent gain performance in passive as well in active mode. Nothing comes close versus the brands we find in Costa Rica such as Steren, IML (Santa Ana, El Salvador), Voltek, H7 Group (locally made), etc. My favorite Televes antenna is the DATBoss LR UHF which we call “The Beast” for its excellent gain on UHF. My craziest experience with it was in May 2020 during a field test on a hill east of Playa Tamarindo in Guanacaste. We got a good lock on channels from Volcan Irazu, 220 km away and with no line of sight (LOS). The results were on passive mode since we found out our Zatech signal meter was not sending 12 VDC to the antenna`s internal amplifier. My next crazy adventure, and most likely the wildest one, will be another long-distance test with the DATBoss LR UHF in Ometepe Island, Lake Granada, Nicaragua on a site that has LOS with Irazu Volcano, 240 km away. I can’t wait to get there. This time I will be taking my Televes H30 Flex signal meter to make sure I test the antenna on passive and active modes.
It hasn't been so easy for years to find well designed, reasonably priced
I live in the Great Lakes Bay area of Michigan, which is the Flint-Saginaw-Bay City DMA for local OTA television. All my local stations are in an arc from 31 to 56 miles away, with one being high VHF, the rest are UHF. I have a 2" wellpipe mast 30' high, and on that I had installed an Xtremesignal HDB91x antenna for UHF, and a AC Y10-7-13 antenna for high VHF. Both antennas were pointed South-East towards the center of my receivable station arc. I originally installed a unfiltered Kitztech KT-200 preamp, and both antennas fed into that with a standard UVSJ. All my stations came in, but due to the many trees in my neighborhood, I had a fair amount of issues with frequent multipath. I then discovered Televes products, and wanted to see how they would work out in my situation as they seemed very well designed and well priced for my needs. I first tried out the single input Televes 560383 preamp, that comes with AGC for better uptime, and also includes built-in FM & LTE/5g filtering. I installed this as a straight swap in place of the Kitztech preamp. With my results, I feel that the Televes model 560383 preamp clearly beats the Kitztech KT-200 preamp by some margin. It's also a higher quality build, and I can't see how anybody could go wrong in trying one out for themselves if all you need is a GREAT preamp, at a GREAT price! I was impressed with that preamp, but I also REALLY enjoy playing with various antennas since I was a kid. So, I also decided next to try one of their fully integrated antennas that have built-in preamps and see how that would do compared to what I was using. So, I next purchased a DATBOSS Mix LR UHF - VHF Long Range Outdoor TV Antenna (149884), which receives both High VHF and UHF, and has a latest repack-ready preamp built in. That preamp also has AGC and automatically adjusts its gain independently for VHF-High and UHF signals, rejects any interfering FM and LTE/5g signals, and performs best since it's installed right at the antenna dipole. This one antenna replaced both my separate HDB91x UHF and Y10-7-13 Vhf antennas, and was installed at the top of the wellpipe mast and peaked for my station arc and best quality signal. I'm VERY impressed with this antenna, and it definitely out-performs the previous antenna combo with much better uptime, and far less multipath issues. I also have two more stations that I really wanted that are in a different local DMA, but too far off-beam from my normal station arc for the DATBOSS to keep them locked 24/7. So, I then purchased a Televes Ellipse Mix Amplified TV Antenna - LTE Ready (148883). This antenna is also designed for the very latest repack, and comes in a much more compact design than the DATBOSS Mix LR. That could make it a GREAT choice for people that want something powerful, yet in a smaller sized package. I had by then installed a 30' antenna tower next to the wellpipe mast with the eventual intention of removing the wellpipe mast, and going with all antennas on the tower only. However, since I decided to try out different antennas, I'm keeping both of them for now. Anyway, I installed the Ellipse Mix antenna at the top of the mast on the tower. That's at about 42', and that antenna is aimed North-West and centered to receive these last two stations. It feeds into a networked Silicon Dust HDHomeRun Extend tuner, and receives both stations solidly 24/7 at 30 miles for the UHF one and 56 miles for the High VHF one. I'm quite impressed at just how well it works for such a small package. To sum it all up, it hasn't been so easy for years to find well designed, reasonably priced, repack-ready and up to date OTA antenna equipment in the U.S., or find support to ask questions, and Televes fits the bill, stands by their stuff, and offers the best support I've seen!
"WOW". What a great product the Televes antennas and antenna amplifiers are
I first purchased the DAT BOSS MIX LR in 2020. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a number of hard to get channels that my previous top of the line Winegard and Channel Master could not deliver . At first I was hesitant to order the Televes 149883 VHF/UHF since this antenna was so much smaller in size than my previous monstrous Winegard and Channel Master. My Televes antenna achieved much better gain than my previous top of the line antennas, and on top of this, the Televes is more durable and made in an more compact size. I was so impressed with my purchase of the DAT BOSS MIX LR that I purchased the new improved 149984. Again, I was quite happy to achieve an noticeable higher gain in the VHF and UHF spectrum. All I can say is "WOW". What a great product the Televes antennas and antenna amplifiers are. I am also on a few internet antenna sites. Many times when someone ask opinions or questions on the Televes antenna line, a representative from Televes will actually reply. The Televes representation will answer any questions or any concerns. What a great product and company Televes is. P.S. Televes, I am waiting for your next improved DAT BOSS.

I would recommend Televes to anyone looking to install a new antenna or replace an existing setup
Frankton has been an installer of TV Antennas for 6 years. About a year and a half ago we discovered the Televes Brand. We were skeptical at the reviews and claims we were seeing and hearing. With the market being flooded with cheap products and wildly inaccurate boasts and claims being made about mileage and insane gain figures of rival products, what installer wasn’t or shouldn’t have been skeptical. We test all products we use in our own homes. I installed the DAT Boss Mix LR at my own home and was very pleased with the results. Proof of concept and function is always borne out in the field at a customers house. Televes delivered on every promise. We switched to installing their lineup for our customers immediately, and haven’t looked back. Their DAT Boss lineup is perfect for capturing signals on the new repack spectrum, and maintaining that quality signal throughout the home or building. The difference with Televes is the technology they put into their antennas, and that technology working as it is intended. Support has been great, but we haven’t really needed any. Simply put, their products just work. I would recommend Televes to anyone looking to install a new antenna or replace an existing setup.
At this time I am Very Happy with this Antenna!! Even in bad weather I still get a strong signal. Thank you Very Much!!!
To Televes, I bought an antenna kit Ref#149884 High-VHF. I live near Lake Geneva WI I get my signals from Milwaukee WI 45 miles away. Also I can get signals from Chicago IL 70 miles away. I temporarily put up the antenna on a 10 foot pipe on the ground. I am amazed that I am getting a very strong signal. In the spring I will be putting it up on a 30 foot TV tower. At this time I am Very Happy with this Antenna!! Even in bad weather I still get a strong signal. Thank you Very Much!!!

From this point forward forward I will trust and rely on Televes when buying their outstanding products for tv reception.
I recently purchased the Televes Dat Boss LR (149884) outdoor antenna and was overwhelmed with the outstanding performance that I honestly didn’t expect. I had low expectations and thought this antenna was over-hyped. I have to admit that I was WRONG. I live in a deep fringe area where tv signals are difficult to bring in. My previous antennas would bring in those signals 50% of the time, especially at night. My new Televes antenna brings in channels 88-90 miles away with little or no interruptions. The great people at Televes take pride and design their antennas with the today’s up-to-date digital television technology. Unlike most other antenna companies which are using old technology with very little changes over the past 20 years. From this point forward forward I will trust and rely on Televes when buying their outstanding products for tv reception.
Televes offers an impressive assortment of antennas and unique technology that will meet a broad variety of needs for those seeking to receive OTA transmissions.
Televes offers an impressive assortment of antennas and unique technology that will meet a broad variety of needs for those seeking to receive OTA transmissions. After having tested their DATBOSS LR as well as other models with a spectrometer against several major brands, including Winegard, Channel Master and Antenna’s direct. It became apparent that the Televes line of antennas not only can hold their own against the leading major brands, but exceed their performance. The design of their antennas such as the DATBoss are also a compact form factor that offers the advantage of a much smaller footprint than the traditional style of large antennas which often reach over 12 feet in length. Televes antenna’s have been modeled to conform to the current repack of bandwidth available for OTA reception. This is one area where many of the more well known brands have fallen short. Much of their product line is still tuned for up to RF channel 69. Rather than to RF channel 36. By modeling their antenna’s to conform to the smaller amount of bandwidth. Televes is able to optimize their antennas for reception efficiency within the new broadcast constraints. Another advantage Televes has over the competition is the technology being used within their preamplifiers. These are available as stand alone units as well as ones integrated into their antenna design. The Televes preamplifier line is a unique system that dynamically amplifies VHF and UHF signals interdependently. This is an important feature which prevents what is known as overloading, which is caused when a signals strength is to strong. This most commonly degrades signal reception. And on occasion can cause damage to components. Further their preamplifier line has an intergrated LTE filter to prevent cellular interference. In these area’s the competition has fallen behind the technological curve. They have relied for decades on a lack of competition. Now some are attempting to play catch up. This will take quite a bit of R&D to match the current level of microcircuitry that Televes is implementing currently in their production line. Another product offering that Televes has available is the Avant-X and the SmartKom. These devises are commercial grade programmable signal filters. Which allow the use of multiple antennas to be combined in a single array for the purpose of capturing multiple antenna farms located at different longitudes and latitudes. The devices allow you to program each channel available to each individual antenna. While at the same time filtering out the signals arriving from the other antennas in the array. This prevents signal interference that will cause degradation of reception. Until recently devices such as these were only available to commercial users. Unlike may of their competitors. Televes does not promote outrageous performance claims such as are being made by lesser quality manufacturers. Many of these antennas often have different brand names but are manufactured in the same factory. Do not be fooled by such claims. The physics involved in signal propagation simply does not allow for it. In conclusion. The Televes brand offers a multitude of technological improvements over well known major brand names such as Channel Master, Winegard and Antennas Direct. As well as unique accessories that are designed to help optimize ones ability to successfully capture over the air signals for ones viewing pleasure. If you are in the market for a TV antenna. Televes is definitely worth investigating prior to making a purchasing decision. Sincerely M. Severson

How to get the best signal on your TV?
To get a good signal, it's necessary to choose the right antenna based on your location. This will depend on the distance to the TV towers and if you have an unobstructed direct line of sight to them. In an area free of obstacles, such as buildings, trees or mountains, the signals that are within the antenna's range should be picked up.
We help you to choose the perfect antenna in the following section "How to choose your antenna".

FAQS
What is the difference between an intelligent and a passive antena?
An intelligent antenna has an integrated built-in amplifier, while a passive antenna does not have an amplifier. An intelligent antenna will work on active mode if it’s connected to power provided from a downstream power supply, receiving power through the coax cable. A passive antenna is not an active component even when connected to a pre-amplifier, it is rather just a passive component of an active system.
Why do I need an antenna to receive broadcast signals?
Broadcast signals are electromagnetic waves that propagate freely in space. The antenna works as an interface or media converter from these electromagnetic waves to conducted waves. Simply put, the antenna collects the airwaves, either very weak or very strong. In addition, depending on the distance to the television transmitter and other factors such as altitude, trees, hills/mountains and buildings, the signal strength may be reduced.
Signals can be amplified at the antenna, as we do, downstream of the coaxial cable antenna, or even, in the case of very strong signals, the antenna may not need an amplifier.
How can I choose an antenna easily?
There is no perfect antenna for everything, but depending on the situation, it will be convenient to choose one or the other.
The selection of the right antenna depends on the frequency and strength of the available stations received in the user location. With these two factors in mind, you can consult our webpage to help you in making the right decision.
In addition to listing the TV stations that are available in your area, our webpage also recommends an antenna (or antennas in case of several directions) which maximizes the number of stations and the quality and strength of the signals received.
Finally, it is important to remember that antenna reception depends on many factors (the power and height of the transmitter, the existence of obstacles, the height of the antenna, and so on). If any doubt arises, it is preferable to select an antenna with a longer range to ensure good performance.
What is a Yagi Antenna?
Yagi antennas are formed by a dipole, the reflectors and one or more directors. The dipole is the element that gather the broadcast electromagnetic energy (works as the sensor element) and has the appropriate dimensions to operate in the frequency band of the antenna. The reflector placed behind the dipole avoids the back reception of signals, reinforcing the frontal reception. The directors which are placed in front of the dipole narrow the beam or reception lobe of the antenna, increasing its gain and directivity. This way, the antenna can receive TV stations at longer distances while, increasing its directivity, blocking inference.
I live in a fringe area, how can I receive good TV stations?
We call a fringe area that is about 100 miles or more from the television station.
We recommend for this application the DAT BOSS MIX LR, which LR stands for Long Range or high distance, to receive good signal quality in these so-called fringe areas. This antenna outperforms others due to its high directivity, high gain, low noise and TForce Technology to receive weak signals in the most difficult reception conditions.
