Big Things Come in Small Packages


Today I received the HD Antenna that I bought off of Amazon I ordered last Wed.  I decided to go with the LAVA HD 2605 Ultra.  This is the model that my neighbor uses and he has said nothing but good things about it.  The cost was $67 which is still cheaper then a month of cable.  Plus I will not have to pay a monthly fee with the antenna.  

When I opened it up I thought there would be more to it.  Just some pieces that clicks together.  This shouldn't be to much of a problem.  Once I have it put together I will install it and see what happens.

It comes with everything that you need including a cable wire to run it to the TV.  I used the preexisting wire that was being used with my Directv.  So I did not have to run any wires and this saved me hours.  Install only took a total of 10 minutes.  (Once I had the antenna put together and was in the attic).

After I was up and running I was amazed at the picture quality.  You would be hard pressed to tell the difference between the images of the antenna vs cable.  The picture comes in clear and I get a bunch of channels.  
I downloaded the TV Guide App for the iPhone and I can see what is on and what channel I need to tune to.  I have to admit I was a little worried that I would not have the guide of what is on like I was use to with Directv.  I also didn't want to have to log onto a computer to see what was on.  This app made it really simple.  I just had to put in my zip code and then click on what type of signal I would be getting (cable, satellite or antenna).  I clicked on antenna and I was all set.
