skywire antenna?

lovesrecess — Fri, 01 Jun 2018 14:12:18 GMT

I keep getting ads for Skywire TV antenna. Seems too good to be true, hence my skepticism...has anyone used his and does it work? I would love to get rid of cable; crummy service and price goes up every couple of months or so. Will still need internet service, but this antenna seems like it's worth a try. The only online reviews I see are sponsored by the company.....what's the real experience anyone has had? TIA!

I have a Mohu Leaf antenna with the 60 mile range and it works great. I live rural, really rural and get about 13 channels.

I got it at Best Buy, about $65. Simple to install, the antenna is thin and lightweight and is mounted on the slider.

I have a Sony HD tv and the signal is good. You are picking up your broadcast channels like ABC, CBS and PBS.

The only drawback is that like satellite, it can get interference from heavy rain and snow.

There are independent reviews of this product, mostly negative due to its limitations and vague return policy (exchange only if it’s defective, no refunds, no satisfaction guarantee.
