I installed it in a two-story vacation house in Aegina, to replace an old central antenna that had rusted and some parts had fallen off. Then a storm came with strong winds and the signal was gone.

Instead of getting an amplifier, I preferred to get 2 antennas, one for each floor.

My father started the installation, spending about 2 days on the roof, struggling.

On the third day, I took over. In 30 minutes (due to strong winds) we were done. Signal strength 98%, signal quality 100%, compared to the previous 30% and 10% respectively. Everything works perfectly even after a similar storm with strong winds. It also took us another 2 hours to fix the internal wiring because the electrician had connected them incorrectly (or not at all in some cases), the exposed cables had been damaged by the sun and needed replacement, etc. In any case, the old antenna did have a weak signal (I measured it) and the new one worked perfectly from the beginning.

I should note that while the old antenna was on a 2+ meter extendable pole, the new antennas are 40 cm from the roof. They don't move in the wind, you don't have to stretch for the cables, and they don't ruin the aesthetics.

Only time will tell about durability.

Instructions for beginners:
Find a good day with no wind, rain, etc.
1) On your TV or receiver, find the menu that shows the signal strength and quality. It usually has 2 bars, one for signal strength and one for quality.
2) Find out which broadcasting centers cover your area (e.g., here: https://www.digea.gr/map/en). Choose the closest one with the fewest obstacles (mountains, large apartment buildings, etc.).
3) Use the map to determine where the antenna should be facing. You don't need to do calculations, just look where the other antennas are pointing... what can I say. Mine will be pointing in all directions because they were installed randomly (the first one was installed incorrectly and the others followed).
4) Take all your tools with you: cutter, pliers, wrench or pliers (especially if you need to remove the old antenna, disassemble poles, etc.), coaxial cable (antenna cable), and a TV or screen with a digital receiver (if they are not built-in) and a small coaxial cable with one end stripped and the other end with a suitable connector to connect to the TV you brought (of course, an extension cord for power, I don't imagine you have an outlet on the roof). Who wants to go up and down the stairs to bring another tool or check if the antenna is properly aligned?
5) Connect the antenna to the TV you brought with a cable (for comparison, you can do the same with the existing antenna to see if it was worth the effort).
6) Go to the menu that shows the received signal (alternatively, if you don't have such a menu, find a channel you are interested in) and turn the antenna towards the selected broadcasting center. Start from a low position, the lower you hang the antenna, the less it will be affected by strong wind and it will be easier for you to screw cables, etc. Unless you are afraid of theft and want to make it difficult for potential intruders (who managed to reach the roof to steal a used antenna worth 15€). When you get a strong signal, tie it (not too tight) to the antenna (or hang it on the wall) while maintaining the correct alignment.
6) Try again now that you have adjusted it and see if you continue to get a good signal. If the indicator has dropped, try turning it slightly and give it 20-30 seconds while looking at the signal bars on the screen. Once you are satisfied with the result, tighten it securely.
6) Connect the regular cable.
7) Test that the TV works just as well in its normal position. If the signal inside the house is not as good as what you saw near the antenna, you need to check (a) if the antenna was accidentally moved, (b) that the wire and aluminum foil do not touch the central copper wire in the cable connections (at the antenna, at the plug, and internally in each extension), and in general, that the connections are tight and good, (c) the cable itself (in case it is damaged or cut somewhere).

It helps to have a multimeter. By measuring the resistance between the copper conductor and the wire casing, you can see if there is a short circuit somewhere (if the two touch), but also measure the resistance from end to end of the conductor and the casing (if the resistance is infinite, there will be no current/signal passing).

I wouldn't write these things, because I thought that any reasonable person would do something similar on their own. But now my faith in humanity has been shaken. If any handyman has an easier procedure to suggest, please write it.

Usage of 2 antennas in an outdoor space on a rooftop in the countryside. Both were purchased to replace the classic antennas and after the good reviews I read on Skroutz. Another reason was to be able to have the best possible reception on the free private channels. The reception, we are always talking about, is without an amplifier. Both antennas only received the signal from the state channels and those with particular difficulty. The free private channels not at all. A check was also made in various positions, angles, etc., and again without result. I reinstalled the old classic antennas and I can see normally again. I do not recommend purchasing these specific antennas

    It has been working for 4-5 months in a mountain village in the coverage area of Chortiatis. Direct line of sight to the transmission antennas without any natural obstacles. I didn't have another antenna before, so I can't say compared to a conventional antenna.

    It was installed indoors, signals to 2 televisions, WITHOUT an amplifier, on the 1st floor of a residence, in a fairly densely populated neighborhood of Agioi Anargyroi, and it really does what it was made for, perfectly, with a much easier installation than the classic antenna on the roof!

    I replaced the old antenna with this one. While before I had to play with an amplifier set on the mast and behind the TV to get a signal, now it's not necessary. Minimal design and super easy installation!

    On a rooftop of a two-story building, it doesn't pick up a single channel.
    I bought it because of the good reviews.
    I recently changed houses, and while I had an indoor antenna from the same company and picked up all the channels, in the new house, since the indoor one didn't work, I bought this outdoor one to replace the old antenna that was on the rooftop.
    With the old antenna, I picked up all the ERT channels.
    Now with this one, I don't pick up any.

    Incredible antenna. I couldn't pick up channels with any other one, and with this one, I catch everything. I have it inside the house, and it just sees the balcony door.

    In the dense urban fabric of Athens, if you don't have it well secured next to a window, it can't do its job; however, later when I gave it to my brother in the countryside, it picked up quite a few channels in HD resolution.

    In 2015, I experienced it in the mountain village of Olympia; the others didn't hold up well.. this one was perfect. Just make sure it doesn't see the sun!! Because the plastic deteriorates and burns. It lasted 9 years in the water and the sun.

    I installed it very easily on the roof of a single-family house, replacing the old antenna. There is already an old amplifier that works perfectly with it and it picked up all the channels.

    I insisted on this one because of the reviews and it justified me. As soon as you connect it to the TV, it picks up a signal immediately, loud and clear. It does its job both indoors and outdoors. Be careful, in the case of indoor use, it picks up if it "sees" a window/balcony door, etc., the digital signal doesn't pass through walls easily, for example.

    Not the performance it claims. In an outdoor area and facing the antennas of the stations, it doesn't find a signal if the orientation changes slightly

    I got it to replace an old antenna that broke when the pole fell and scattered. Unexpectedly satisfied. It comes with tie-ups, easy to install, and it picked up the channels immediately, although lower compared to the regular antenna I had.

    I have 3 antennas: the Philips SDV6222, the THOMSON ANT1410, and now I got, with reservations I must say, the MATEL in a difficult area in Litohoro. I consider that they are equal in performance; additionally, it does not require power and is cheaper

    This review is about the colour: White

    It was installed on a balcony of an apartment building in Corinth. The reception was done from two different broadcasting centers, from Osios Patapios (digea) and from Geraneia (ERT). The angle between the two centers is approximately 20 to 30 degrees and with a clear field without obstacles. The reception is flawless without any difficulty. The installation is also particularly easy. I don't know how it will work in difficult areas with obstacles. Anyway, I highly recommend it.

    I read several reviews before ordering it.
    I tried it with a makeshift support in the porch, on the ground floor, before taking it to the village. It pleasantly surprised me!
    Here it catches a perfect signal.
    I will come back when I try it in the village.

    I was influenced by the positive comments and got it. Not a single channel was picked up. We tried it at a relative's house and it didn't pick up anything there either. What can I say? It's a shame about the 19 euros I spent! Zero stars from me. Because I also tried the indoor one from the same company and it did nothing, I had the Xiaomi Xbox connected to the room's TV since it's not smart, and I installed Greek TV or "Greek television and radio," they do the same job and I have the digital channels on my TV! Problem solved!! The only "disadvantage" is that you can't search for channels like we do with the remote control directly from one channel to another; you have to exit the channel you're on and choose which one you want to enter and press okay. That's all! I hope I helped those who are struggling with antennas like I am.

    Honest antenna for its price.
    It has some interference but not to a great extent.
    I first tested it indoors directly on the TV where it quickly picked up several channels.
    I installed it outdoors with an amplifier because I have a lot of cable meters.
