Add Your Review
Lately we have been dealing with an increasing number of attempts to manipulate antennas ranking. Note: each person is allowed to post one and only one review for each antenna model. Exceptions can be made only under special circumstances when the reviewer feels that his earlier review must be corrected.
We have a sophisticated manipulation detection system in place and we will not tolerate any attempt to game the system and mislead consumers and our visitors. We reserve the right to delete any review that we feel is misleading or inappropriate and do that at our sole discretion. Thanks for understanding.
Also, from now on we require all reviews to be at least 100 words long. Short reviews, such as "a piece of junk" or "works as advertised" are not very helpful. Consider specifying more details. Elaborate on your location, the equipment you are using, reception quality of specific channels in your area. Check the word counter at the bottom when writing.

| Summary: My Wind Storm Experiences with 91XG vs 8-Element Bowtie |
| I originally put up a Channel Master 4228, which is an 8-bay bowtie dipole design. However I still had problems in severe wind storms with the picture breaking up, due to varying multipath. Then I installed a 91XG antenna sited a little higher. The result is that the 91XG antenna gives greatly improved performance during severe wind storms, providing a solid picture without breaking up, while the picture from the 8-element bowtie is severely broken up. I dont know if the improvement is a result of:
- Slightly higher siting for the antenna
- The different pattern of the 91XG
- or the Palm tree that the 91 XG is pointed at, which gave me the highest signal strength
Anyway, Im not going to argue with success, so I use the XG-91 now as my main antenna to feed the TIVO. We get good recordings from the TIVO under all wind conditions.

| Summary: Just What I Wanted |
| I am 75 miles from Washington, DC and receive those \locals\ from satellite. However, I am 42 miles from Charlottesville and hose stations I must get off air. I had an HDX1000 amplified antenna and it did well. However, the Charlottesville stations broadcast with various power levels. Some are very strong but ABC and Fox are low powered. I ordered the XG91 and had a CM7777 amp left over. I put the XG91 together without any problems and with rhe help of a friend got it mounted and pointed in the right direction. I live in somewhat of a hole surrounded by some evergreen trees about 50 yards away. This antenna poked through those trees and provides a steady, quality pciture so far. It is doing what I hoped it would do. It is very lightweight and very directional. I highly recommend it for people who live in a fringe area.I bought it from Solid Signal and was pleased with their delivery and price. |

| Summary: WOW - This thing is amazing |
| I received the 91XG from solidsignals. The box was surprisingly small. It was fairly simple to put together, and the end product looks and functions spectacularly.
I\m using the 91XG paired with the Channel Master CM-7777, and RG6 cable, 75 feet. I was going to order the quad rg6, but they recommended the cheaper Rg6.
I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone on the deep fringes. I\m able to pick up all the networks in Nashville, Jackson, Memphis, and Huntsville. Not all at the same time of course. Whats amazing to me is, with it pointed towards Nashville, i\m able to also pick up Memphis, which is 180 degrees in the apposite direction!!! |

| Summary: |
| It\s a very good long distance UHF antenna as long as there are no obstructions (applies with any antenna if your talking distance). Paired with a Winegard YA 1713 Prostar 1000 10 Element Hi-Band VHF TV Antenna (YA-1713) using Channel Master CM 7777 Titan2 VHF/UHF TV Antenna Preamplifier, all full power DTV signals from the MPLS/St.Paul metro show between 60-90 percent consistently (sometimes at night, LPTV off the IDS is recieved and on rare occasions, Rochester and La Crosse, WI.). This equipment resides 35 feet off the ground just South of Brainerd, MN with a line of sight distance to transmitter of around 108 miles. KCCO and KSAX could normally be received off of a normal outside antenna but not with this one as it is highly directional. It doesn\t matter because they are satellites of WCCO and KSTP which come in just fine from Shoreview. It recieves KCCW just enough to lock in, Lakeland public TV and the two DTV translators in town - all off the back side. |
| AntennasDirect 91XG Review #4 |

| Summary: Great UHF only antenna |
| All broadcasters are 35 miles away and within 4 degrees of the same compass heading. Only station we can\t get is VHF 8, but antenna is designed for 14-69. I\ll be finding an antenna combiner so we can get ABC. Antenna is in attic of 2-story, sheathing is foil backed and we are in a \low spot\ for most reception (cell, radio, etc.). Long term use will be at 60 miles out once we move next spring.
Box was half open when it arrived, but all parts were there. Assembly guide was too brief - not clear as to orientation of connector box, might not matter. Seems a bit flimsy for outdoor use, and numerous plastic parts might not hold up to UV exposure over time. |
