Why only 3-star average reviews? An antenna serves to gather usable broadcasted signal. The usable signal at the TV depends on the signal-to-noise ratio. The S/N ratio is determined by the "very first stage amplifier". (After that signal and noise are equally amplified so the S/N ratio does not change.) Theoretically you could get a 120 mile range if the combination of elevations between this antenna and the broadcast antennas is sufficient to accommodate the curvature of the earth, this antenna is pointed directly at the broadcasting antenna, and there is sufficient broadcasted signal (without interference caused by trees or buildings). If a long cable is used to meet the antenna elevation requirement, then a higher- quality "pre-amp" (rather than the one supplied) may be necessary to accommodate signal loss in the cable.
