At first I was disappointed because about a year ago I purchased a "HD stacker antenna" online and installed it in our attic. The reception was ok but I wanted to move the antenna outside to free up the attic and improve the reception. I noticed Summit Antenna had this very antenna on display on their website under antennas. However, when I talked to Rick he said he doesn't sell the stacker antenna anymore because he found something much better. Well, he sure was right! The antenna he sold me and installed, a Digitenna Fringe (50+ range), is awesome. First of all it is MUCH smaller than the stacker antenna. It is so small, it looks like a glorified indoor antenna. So no big, ugly antenna polluting the neighborhood. A smaller antenna also means less wind load. That was another concern of mine because we get some strong winds and I didn't want to worry about the antenna blowing over. And finally, the reception. This small antenna pulls in the Akron stations (and much more) that the larger stacker couldn't. The antenna has an embedded amplifier and draws it's (low voltage) power from the insulation in the coax cable - no extra power cord. The amp only uses 4 watts of power but if that's a concern, a "smart powerstrip" can turn it off right along with your tv. The amp got plugged in in the basement because it made most sense for my installation. It could be by the tv, or anywhere along the way. The installation itself was excellent. Rick listened to my ideas about location and mounted it on the back of our chimney. He was also very meticulous and showed great attention to detail. Every cable was laid thoughtfully and neatly. My only mild concern was the price. For the work Rick did, he certainly earned his $625 fee but from my perspective, we dumped basic cable that was costing us $25 a month so it will take us two years to recoup the investment. But those two years will pass soon enough and then the programming will be free. I'll also be able to recoup some of the cost by selling the stacker antenna I bought last year. From Avon Lake, we get 39 digital and 2 analog channels. (3.1, 3.2, 5.1, 5.2, 6, 8.1, 8.2, 17.1, 17.2, 17.3, 17.4, 17.5, 19.1, 19.2, 23.1, 23.2, 23.3, 23.4, 23.5, 23.6, 25.1, 25.2, 25.3, 25.4, 25.9, 35, 43.1, 43.2, 43.3, 49.1, 49.2, 49.3, 49.4, 52.1, 52.2, 55.1, 55.2, 55.3, 61.1, 61.3, 61.4). These include some great programming that the cable companies pass over like: Antenna TV (8.2) Me-TV (19.2), Create TV (25.4), Bounce TV (43.2), Grit (43.3), This TV (55.3), Get TV (61.3), and Escape (61.4).

TV Antenna Equipment Service reviews from real Angi homeowners in Bentleyville, OH
They are very courteous they came out right away and what I like the most is they do have real uniforms as seen in TV. The price is competitive and much cheaper to others.

They did all work in a timely manner. They gave me a free quote after looking over the television and the final price matched the quote exactly. I would use them again for any tv service repairs I may need. They warranty their work for 6 months. Very professional and nice to work with.

He gave me an estimate to mount a tv and relocate a Directv and Apple TV devices. I accepted his estimate and I tried four times to get the service scheduled and Matthew Wain would not respond back to my emails or phone calls. I would never use this company. Very unprofessional.

The roof looks wonderful and his price was far better than the other three estimates I received. We now sit out back on our open porch with ceiling fans going and a tv to watch and feel like we are in Hawaii! Friends and neighbors love it as much as we do!

"I had to move quickly, was going through a divorce and needed work done at the property to which I was moving. The most urgent item was erecting a fence for my dogs. Jeff met me at the property and we discussed a number of items I wanted done. He spoke about the big projects he's done for large corporations and assured me he could get the work done prior to my deadline. Jeff told me he needed a deposit to get started. Because I didn't want any delays, I gave him a $1,200 deposit without anything in writing. He missed every promised deadline and each time I contacted him, he turned the situation around saying he would get the work done if I stopped bothering him. I continued to contact him because nothing was getting done and he hadn't done anything to move the work forward. He was rude and extremely unprofessional. I kept on him and he finally provided me with a day he'd be out to begin erecting the fence. I couldn't be present the day he was scheduled to be out and when arrived at the property, Jeff was not there, but there were holes throughout my lawn. I called him and was told that a fence could not be erected on my property - no one would be able to install fencing because of tree roots. After he told me he couldn't proceed with the fencing, I requested that my deposit be returned. He first said he would refund the deposit. When a week passed and I received nothing from him, I contacted him again and he told me he did the work and was owed the money. Because he spent time making holes all over my property, he believed he should be paid. By the way, he left the holes throughout my lawn. Holes that created a liability for me. I continued to contact him and on one call, he indicated that he visited his lawyer and would be sending me the invoice for the money due to him, and indicated that I would receive a check for the remaining portion of the deposit. I never received any of my deposit back. Jeff is dishonest and anything but honorable. Beware."

TV Antenna questions, answered by experts
Regular maintenance and protection against weather extremes enhance longevity.
Costs depend on antenna type, labor, replacement parts, and necessary realignment.
Yes, professionals re-mount and realign antennas for optimal signal reception.
Before your TV antenna stops working, there are a few ways to tell it’s starting to break. Some common signs that your antenna needs repair include:
A repetitive “no signal” issue
A redundant “searching” issue
Increased signal issues during a cloudy or rainy day
A sudden drop in signal strength, regardless of the weather
If you’re experiencing these problems, you’ll want to ensure that your cables are still in good shape and have not deteriorated. In addition, check to make sure that your cables are firmly in place at the wall outlet. Finally, check the position of your antenna to ensure there are no obstructions in its path. If you’ve checked your antenna thoroughly and are still having these problems, a repair is most likely needed by an antenna technician.
DIY is possible for minor adjustments, but professionals ensure proper alignment and signal strength.
