New Televes DATBOSS LR Mix Review Updated Repack Model 149884

In this video I review the Televes DATBOSS LR Mix Hi-VHF UHF Long Range Antenna with 5G Filter model 149884. This is an updated version of the previous Televes LR Mix with more gain, better amplifier, and a 5G filter. How well will it work at half the size of other long range antennas?

I have wanted to cut he cord for years. When I visit the AW site to see my reception possibilities. The site said I had NO possibility of reception in my area. So this delayed my decision to CTC until I watched this video. I purchased this antenna, found a reclaimed 30 ft steel tower and attached it with RG-11 cable, as my run would be 100 ft. I was shocked! We pointed it towards the towers (60 miles away)...86 channels! Yes, a bunch of duplicates, but now we have dependable 50 channels! Thank you Tyler! We also went with the Tablo Quad. I wish their technology was a bit better...but at least we are able to record ota shows. THANK YOU TYLER! I wouldn't have known any of this without your videos.

Very highly recommend Televes as a brand and the customized antenna recommendation! Money well spent…our antenna has been rock solid in our attic. Wind, rain, storms…we still get clear signal!

I hooked up this antenna a couple of weeks ago and I'm getting most of my Charlotte locals even though I'm in a hilly area roughly 80 miles NW of Charlotte. Cancelled Dish Network after 20 years with them. Thanks Antenna Man for recommending a Televes.

Bought this antenna based on your review. Works excellent. My old antenna maxed out at 54 channels. This picked up 67 in passive state. After connecting to power, the next scan added 21 more channels. Total channels received 88. I can’t wait to rescan when all the leaves are finished falling. Hands down best antenna I’ve ever owned. I’ve had 2 previous that both maxed at 54 with all the leaves gone.

I cut the cord 3 years ago. Have an indoor antenna on all 3 the' s. Get 15 channels. Then added Roku for another 200 combined channels. Best move I ever made. I like your videos . Thanks for keeping us up to date.

I have the previous generation of this antenna. It has served me very, very well over the past three years.
I receive 1 Kw UHF translators at 67 miles, UHF/VHF are great at 60 miles. I even get some Phoenix stations
at nearly 90 miles, at times, overnight. You cannot beat this antenna if you want reliable, consistent reception.
It is built to last as well.

I bought this model after consulting with Tyler. Best antenna for my situation. I am in very mountainous country far from most of the major networks. Local folks told not to expect anything other than 4 channels, mostly sub channels. I get over 20 channels including all major networks and reception is excellent, even with trees and hills nearby. Thanks Tyler!

I bought one of these (149884) to replace my channel master in my attic which was "omni-directional" I sold the c/m locally along with a c/m amp and c/m splitter for more than I paid for the televes, which does not need the amp or splitter because they are built in. I'm shooting 65 miles as the crow flies North at 337 degrees to Springfield Mo and it works great. It also receives the pbs stations to the South from the back end--all in the attic. Over 37 stations very clear( some are repetitive). Thank you Tyler--keep up the great info.

This one works like a dream for me. I'm about 40 miles from most of the broadcast stations, almost all of them UHF, but they're all within a few degrees directionally from my position. I don't know whether it's the design of the booms or the preamp, but this sucker gets me better, more consistent reception than my friends who are 30 miles closer to the city with their cheapie antennas.

Very happy with the Televes Eclipse I purchased about a year ago. I am only about 15 miles from towers just outside Ft Wayne, IN. Plenty of days of bad weather.. heavy snow, hard rain, decent amount of trees in my block. All that being said, I have not lost signal yet. I highly recommend these antennas.

[wesmckean]

another excellent review. I really like Televes. I need to install an outdoor antenna at my mother's new house, and I think I'm going to go with one of these.

I installed exactly this DatBoss LR Mix model a few months ago. Bought it to replace another Televes antenna the Ellipse Mix which I still am using mounted 10' lower on the same pole facing 150* in another direction feeding 2 other TV sets.
The Ellipse is an excellent antenna limited to 60 miles but did pick up 1 Tower 78 miles away with a strong broadcast. However it picked up 2 other towers with less broadcast power erratically, meaning only at night.
This DatBoss LR Mix replacing the Ellipse aimed at those 3 towers now picks them up perfectly plus a 4th tower 12 miles further which due to earth curvature on a 22' antenna pole should be virtually impossible but I do lose this particular tower sporadically. Best is all local towers within 40 miles from all directions are received & 3 towers in-line are never over-powered.
Because this antenna only feeds my wife's bedroom TV which she plays maybe 8 hours per day & every night, I have spent major money purchasing other long range antenna, signal amps, pre-amps. Her reception is of paramount in importance & this is the best I have tried.
What I like most is the build quality & balance. It does come disassembled & took me about an hour to put it together following both the directions & a YouTube video. Be extra careful to have the antenna horizontally level.
My location is central Louisiana flat land but I have trees partially blocking reception within 70". Because of HOA rules I am limited to 20' in height for an antenna. I also have a 3rd antenna installed which is a figure eight appearing plastic model from another manufacturer which is mounted 12' on a separate pole & is very good local only. It feeds a 75" TV in the ManCave. It's biggest problem is interference from passing auto's requiring me to rotate it in a non preferred direction.
Both Televes antenna have no interference problems.
From my personal experience, Televes is the best antenna's on the market & I have tried.
I am a long time cord cutter refusing to pay $120 per month for cable in this market. I also stream using AT&T unlimited 1gig fiber.

Sounds like a masterpiece of RF engineering! Thoughtfully designed in so many areas.

[lloydhills]

I just ordered one. And new solid Copper RG6 Coaxial cable. =
I got the new Antenna, hooked it up and tuned it. It's better than any other Antenna I've ever had.

[avagd]

I bought one and installed it the same day I received it. I receive 94 channels from 4 cities with strong signals 3 and 4 bars on each. I'm in upstate South Carolina within 70 miles of all television towers. It the best for it's size.

[DyLemmaOG]

Antenna Man, it would be so amazing if you made a page on your website with a chart of every antenna you've tested and their signal strengths on each channel

[rickwalt]

That is the antenna we purchased based on your antenna recommendations. Could not be happier with it. Picture quality is like HD. No signal loss during thunder storms or overcast, cloudy days. Thank you for recommending it. Great review and video. Keep up the good work.

[seanrich]

Purchased this from your link, (Televes DATBOSS LR Mix). Looking forward to receiving it. I bought the Datbossmix a while back, from your link, and am Very Happy with it.

[jamescollins]

Just put mine up and a 20 percent signal upgrade ...this antenna is better than my old one and a lot smaller takes a bit to assemble it but once you figure it it's a for longevity we will have to see but for now 5 stars
