AntennasDirect is a relatively new player in the TV reception products field, but it has quickly positioned itself as one of the most respected antenna brands. It started with just a few UHF models which had a tremendous market success, and recently, AntennasDirect expanded their product line with VHF and dual band VHF/UHF antennas of excellent quality.

Deep Fringe UHF Solution - Here You Go!

AntennasDirect XG-91 is one of the best deep fringe UHF antennas on the market. Very high gain and reasonable size vs perfomance trade-off. In fact, it is our antenna of choice for fringe areas. This antenna is hard to beat when it comes to picking TV signals in 60-80 miles range. 91XG is a very directional antenna, so if your stations are spread over more than 25° you will need a rotator. Like all Yagi-type antennas it has a quite small acceptance angle comparing to bow-ties (e.g CM4228, DB8) which is an advantage when multipath rejection and antenna gain are of a concern. On other hand, with bow-ties you are more likely to get away without a rotator when the stations are spread over up to 40°.

Mid Range UHF - 43XG

AntennasDirect 43XG is a little brother of 91XG and is great for mid-range reception of up to 40 miles. Less gain than 91XG, but also less weight, less size. Larger acceptance angle.

AntennasDirect DB2 - One of the Best Indoor TV Antennas

DB2 is a simple bow-tie with a scatter plane. It is well made, provides good short to mid-range performance and is one of the best choices for an indoor antenna. Keep in mind, however, that it is also one of the largest indoor antennas. Check the dimensions before buying, make sure you have enough space.

What to Avoid

AntennasDirect have some terrific antennas in their product line, but sadly, they have got the most publicity from the lousiest one they carry. Perhaps, CNBC is the one to blame for this as their show created a lot of buzz around the picture frame antenna, which is much more of a gimmick than of an antenna. I mean, it is an oKay antenna for the market segment it's supposed to target - a market of low performance indoor antennas for use in very high TV signal strength areas, just like a regular rabbit ears or UHF loop. Too bad AntennasDirect does not bother to explain that and market it properly.

The picture frame antenna (PF7) appeals to many: who doesn't want to have a stylish, tiny and unnoticeable antenna instead of a large and ugly rooftop monster. But remember, you can not replace a large rooftop antenna with a tiny indoor thing, it just doesn't work this way. You need size for performance. There has been no REAL innovation in antennas design for TV frequencies for decades. Small miracle antennas do not exist, and anyone who tells you otherwise is a scammer. Even for indoor antennas, the PF7 is on the lower performing side. If you are looking for a good indoor, check Winegard SS-3000 or AntennasDirect DB2 (see a word of caution below). The picture frame antenna may work for some locations that are very close to TV towers, but so is a bare wire attached to the TV set's RF connector with an adhesive tape. If you are more than 10 miles from the towers - avoid!
