DAT BOSS Mix LR 149884 HDTV Antenna – Long Range High VHF/UHF Reception with Built-in TForce Amplifier, FM & LTE/4G/5G Filtering, Up to 100 mi Range, Power Supply Included - Made in Spain

We bought the Televes DAT BOSS MIX LR antenna to replace a RadioShack VU-1902XR antenna that we had for many years. The RadioShack antenna, like all of us, slowly degraded with time. There was a gradual, imperceptible decrease in reception which led to some channels starting to pixelate. The Televes antenna came as multiple parts and pieces that were very well packed but looked intimidating. However, the included instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Once installed and after a channel scan our signal strength had improved and we even got more channel than we previously had. The broadcast towers where we live are approximately 65 miles away and there are some hills in between. We are completely satisfied with this purchase and would recommend it.

Pulls in all the stations! My geography is favorable and I have the antenna about 30 feet off the ground. I easily pull in several ATSC stations from 89 miles away. The transmitter is on a mountain, which helps. It is very directional. It does not see "most" stations only 6 miles away in the wrong direction, but it does see some.

Located at the extreme fringe of the Seattle broadcast coverage area, we have struggled with reliable reception of upper UHF channels. Our previous setup consisted of a Range Xperts Long Range VHF/UHF antenna paired with an RCA 22 dB preamplifier, mounted approximately 35 ft above ground level on a rotor. Despite this, high-UHF signals frequently exhibited pixelation and, in marginal cases, were not detected at all. The Televes DAT BOSS HDGV was selected based on its technical reputation and design claims, particularly regarding gain, filtering, and “repack-ready” performance. In comparative testing, the difference was substantial. While height and azimuth have long been recognized as critical for OTA reception, this antenna’s provision for mechanical tilt adjustment, combined with its multi-director array, adds an additional degree of optimization that is often overlooked in consumer installations. Notably, even when evaluated at a reduced mounting height of approximately 15 ft, the DAT BOSS HDGV increased the channel count by 16 stations relative to our previous antenna system. More importantly, upper UHF channels that were previously unstable or not even detected, are now received with rock-solid reliability and visibly improved image quality. Given the FCC’s spectrum repack, which forced many TV broadcasters to shift frequencies, the Televes “repack ready” claim appears to be more than marketing language. In real-world fringe conditions, this antenna demonstrated superior performance, particularly on challenging high-UHF signals, and effectively eliminated the pixelation issues that previously impacted live sports viewing.

All the parts are fabricated well. Assembly is fine if you stick to the instructions, and go about it slowly. I watched a video on Televes put out that greatly assisted the assembly and I used it (with lots of pausing) along with the printed instructions. I used an RCA mini yagi antenna prior, and while that unit was nice when I first installed it, we've since erected a large shed that got in the way, and a neighbor built a large house and shed that further inhibited the signal. Even with an amp, we weren't able to split the signal, and only got a handful of channels after the shed and the neighbor's buildings went up. That and all the channels I wanted were in the vicinity of 50-60 miles away. I could only draw one of the major network channels, and even they were spotty. I assembled the Televes and placed it in a terrible location (front porch, and lower than the RCA). It's tilted sort of downward to boot. This is a temporary location; don't need a big honkin' tv antenna on my front porch. Either way, I plugged two coax cables to two separate tv's and immediately got nearly double the channels I had been getting, and all the major network channels are now crystal clear on both tv's. This antenna is the real deal in my opinion.

I get decent reception from TV stations that are 50 miles away. The included amplifier works well too.

I live in a rural area with very poor television and cell phone reception so I was a little skeptical when I ordered this. However, it had such great reviews I took a chance that it might actually help me out. I replaced an old outside antenna that only picked up about 8 channels on a good day. Now I’m getting about 35 channels and best of all I can now get CBS and Fox, so I’ll be able to watch football this year. My Dish bill was almost $90 a month for the cheapest plan, so even though I had to pay a guy to install my antenna, it won’t be long before the antenna will pay for itself. My son put it together for me and it took him about 30-45 minutes. I tried to put it together myself but I found it too complicated. The following are a few FYI issues that I ran into: I didn’t have a short cable to hook up the amplifier so I’m just using the old one I had used with my other antenna and it’s working fine. The mast will move on the pole I am using and the wind changed the direction of the antenna, so I lost the Fox channels and also another group of channels after some recent storms. The guy who installed it for me is going to come back and reposition it so I can get the channels back and then he’s going to fix the pole so it won’t move in the future. The only question now will be how durable it turns out to be. It appears to be well made so I’m hoping for many years of good service.

Outstanding reception at 68 miles from broadcast TV towers CBS comes in clean and clear. Works very well with the Tablo DVR.

The Antenna performs very well so far. My location is behind tall trees that never allowed me to have a steady signal. This unit pulled off the channels I was expecting. Once I powered up the amp, the channels' signal level improved exponentially. Beside the unit complexity, it was easy to assemble. The bad part is that it is very directional and I will need a second unit to receive the channels located within 45 deg from the main direction. I expected that after having the same issues with all the previous antennas I had tried. I would recommend this antenna if the stations are located in a 40 mile range, and there are obstacles between the location and the TV tower.

I just set up my new Televes LR Mix. Most of the channels I was picking up now has a stronger signal strength, there’s one channel that’s was iffy to begin with that I lost completely. This is because this antenna has a more narrow beam width as my former antenna. On the other end, I’m now picking up a channel I have no business picking up. The only other disappointing situation is that I wasn’t able to receive Fox from Buffalo when I technically should be able to pick it up, but it was a long shot at about 75 miles away and a bunch of ridges in the way. I would 100% buy this antenna again, but someone in Canada should get a supply of them, because having the supplier for Canada in the USA drives up the cost. Base price of the antenna $256 Then shipping from USA to Canada $84 Then there are duty charges of about $125. UPS got about the same price of the antenna in shipping costs. Ridiculous. UPDATE: Since the leaves have fallen off the trees that I had surrounding my house my signal has improved. I was already impressed by the power of this antenna, but seeing what it can do when it has a clearer sight to the transmitter make me really appreciate the work it does to provide a stable signal through trees hampering the signal.

Best antenna I have purchased. Picking up stations 50 miles away continuously. I am able to get all US networks for free.

After tracing down my Purolator package , without zero help from Purolater Sntenns was finally picked up miles from delivery location However thankfully products high level quality made purchase worth it . It’s large but light and balanced . On roof not very high . On first test it had perfect reception of the same amount of stations found on my previous one ( but HD ) . Next day with a compass I repointed it to farthest stations and wow. Double the stations all perfect. Precisely point it snd it’s amazing.

Très bonne antenne.
