10 Best Outdoor TV Antennas (Review) In 2021

During our research, it was a foregone conclusion that the RCA Outdoor Yagi Satellite would triumph as the top choice for the best outdoor TV antenna, but it’s not just because we like the name or the look, or RCA have some dirt on us we’d rather not be made public, far from it. It’s easy to mount, but be careful with the aluminum antenna itself as doesn’t feel too sturdy. Once up and ready though, with help from the RCA Signal Finder, you can enjoy plenty of fun and free TV whenever you please.

Instead, it’s the sheer quality that speaks for itself and increases the value of your home. It may not boast as wide a range as other options, but the signal strength is consistent and reliable while the 1080i support ensures crystal clear pictures even during heavy rain.

If you’re looking for an outdoor TV antenna on a budget, the Mediasonic Homeworx HDTV Outdoor Antenna is a reliable option, especially if you’re not concerned about how pretty your antenna looks, and really, who cares?

It supports both UHF and VHF frequencies for a greater range of potential channels in both high- and standard-definition, and it’s perfect for a variety of locations whether urban, suburban, or closer to nature than any discernible signs of civilization.

The easy-to-use Vansky Outdoor Motorized OTA Amplified HD TV Antenna boasts a variety of superb features to make it a serious contender for one of the best around. It boasts a 360-degree motor rotor to find the perfect signal, while the remote control is accurate and reliable.

It also comes with a 150 mile range, which is perfect for rural areas and can provide all local channels in perfect clarity while also providing some of the excellent stations them city folks are always harping on about. This makes it a fantastic choice for those who need a TV but don’t want to pay for expensive and mostly useless packages. The installation might be a bit of a pain, but anyone with a modicum of tech-savviness shouldn’t have too much trouble with it so it won’t be long before you can all settle on the sofa with your universal remote in hands ready for the next show.

If you’re looking for the highest quality premium pick of the best outdoor TV antenna available, the Channel Master High VHF, UHF, HDTV Antenna does exactly what you’d expect an antenna called Channel Master to do.

You can choose a range between 40 and 80 miles while still maintaining great signal and the multi-directional angling ensures easy movement should you have trouble finding the sweet spot. It’s easy to install and receives both UHF and HD signals for varied viewing. However, it’s a bit too large for some people and not half as attractive as we’d like. That being said, it’s only an antenna, so who cares how it looks as long as it does the job?

If sleek, stylish antennas are your thing, the Mohu Sky 60 TV Antenna is the option for you. It delivers Clean Peak Filter technology to remove cell and FM signals for the clearest picture around while also eliminating visual noise so you get the best experience.

It comes with a 60 mile range, which for most of you will be more than enough, while the 30 foot coaxial cable and dual powering options make this one of the best performing antennas ever let loose on the TV world.

The Antennas Direct ClearStream Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna delivers the crisp, almost-too-real wonders of HD television wherever you set it up. You get clear streams with as much as a 70 mile range for totally free television that could turn you back into a couch potato or could merely reignite your passion for the small screen. The signal strength, however, is where it lets itself down and you’ll need an AC adapter to improve this, which is a little annoying, but we’re sure you have something lying around that it doesn’t cost you anymore than you’ve spent already.

It’s lightweight and comes with a long coaxial cable for easy connectivity while the all-weather hardware can withstand everything from sudden lightning to heavy rains all in the same day.

With a name like this, you better hope that the FiveStar Outdoor HDTV Antenna is exactly that. With this antenna, you get Auto Gain Control to increase volume by up to 35 decibels and it also offers an LTE filter to eliminate interference from neighboring devices like smartphones 4G. The mounting is a little tricky, so we’d advise finding someone to help you, but this is the only real issue we could find with it and once it’s up, you can trust it to survive wind while enjoying clear images on demand.

It supports 720, 1080, and even 4K broadcasts to ensure there’s nothing you can’t enjoy after a hard day’s work and its low noise amplifier ensures a clear picture all year-round.

The marvelously named Pingbingding HDTV Amplified Digital Outdoor Antenna wins our top pick for the most-fun brand name around. We’re not here to repeat pingbingding over and over again (although we’d love to) though, so it’s lucky this antenna also delivers exactly what we’re looking for. It feels a little flimsy despite its weather-protective properties, so if you ever find your signal down, check it’s still in one piece before tearing an angry swathe through the country to find a replacement.

The 150 mile reception range speaks for its quality, while the wireless remote ensures a simple and straightforward set up and searching to remove all hassle with setting it up. It’s compatible with UHF and VHF channels and also supports 2 TVs with no splitter.

A mighty legend of antennas, the GE Pro Outdoor/Attic Mount TV Antenna provides full HD images in crisp, uncompressed 1080p with a 70 mile range that does its best to show up all over antennas on the market.

It’s compact and discreet, making it suitable for easy concealing against the side of your house, while the signal strength is reliable even in terrible weather. The mounting bracket and mast make installation a breeze, and you can get everything up and running in less than 20 minutes. The plastic parts aren’t what we’d have chosen to keep it all together, and these are likely to deteriorate with too much sunlight, but if you live somewhere the sun is a mere myth, you’re likely onto a winner with this.

Our final pick in our search for the best TV antenna is the McDuory Outdoor 150 Mile Digital Antenna which toes the line between flashy and boring and gives you a no-nonsense, simple, but massively effective option.

It requires no adapter and operates on both 720 and 1080 signals while the VHF and UHF MHz range ensures versatile channel hopping option. With an infrared remote controller, you can easily adjust the direction to find the best signal, but this only goes in one direction, so if you go too far you’ll need to start all over again. For installation, you need no screwdrivers and other tools, and instead can just enjoy a simple setup with clear pictures and no visual noise, which is exactly what you deserve.
