- I'm gonna show you how to get free TV channels,
HD TV as we cut the cord,
I show you the best over the air antenna
and we save money.
(cash register ding) (uplifting jingle)
Hi, I'm the YouTube Deal Guy Matt Granite.
I'm kind of holding this how I held
my first born not too long ago.
Great to be with you.
I hunt down the biggest deals on the planet
but I also show you how to cut the cord
and use free HD TV channels to your advantage
and there was a video I released not too long ago
where a deal dropped
on a flat panel smart pass HD TV antenna
and you guys went crazy for it.
The deals were turned
so I'm gonna do this up a little bit differently
and actually give you the full on boxing
because a lot of you wanted to see that,
I didn't include that in the first video
and then you'll see clips,
if my shirt changes colors
or my hair gets longer.
These are the demonstrations in the product
as I've done over time.
So when I have these edited into this video
so you can actually see from start to finish.
More importantly, if you wanna score
the deal that I have found
which is a very limited time offering,
expand that video description box right under me.
There will you score the best price
for what I considered to be
the best HD TV antenna of 2018.
Let's start with the unboxing
and then we'll get to the channels.
Alright let's get this
antenna out of the box
now keep in mind this is a larger antenna
and I am gonna show you
how I've hooked this up
and then the channels that I can get.
There's some of those flat panels,
those ones that you can actually
just hang up for mounts.
Some of them have adhesives on the back
and those are good,
the Mohu Leaf is actually
a fantastic antenna which I've used.
But this just gives you
better range in my opinion.
You get 60 to 70 miles plus
you have a lot of accessories
that allow you to set this up.
Where you can at least diminish
the interference with a really good filter.
Alright.
This is the antenna itself
if you guys want an idea
of how tall this is.
I'm just over 5'9
and this goes up to my knees.
There you go, if that helps you.
But it's not the most discreet thing
but the nice thing is you can use this
indoor or out
if you have a porch or something.
Comes with the mounting bracket
which is great.
Comes with a long ranged coax cable.
Comes with a stand.
Comes with the filter,
this is the key.
This filters out a lot of the interference
and this will ensure you get that beautiful, crisp HD
reception over the air.
So 4K.
Right, this is 4K capable, awesome.
If you have a TV that is so equipped
and then in here
because this is not a passive antenna.
Meaning that it is working with a power source,
you've a little plug adaptor right here.
The plug adaptor is
very, very, very small.
Let me show you we set this up
and then more importantly what types
of channels I was able to receive.
Just screw this right into the back
of the cable in
where your antenna goes on the back
of the television.
Any television will have this port.
The other end
goes into the underpart of the antenna.
So one in there, one in here, you're good to go.
There's nothing else you need to do.
This again is an outdoor indoor HD TV antenna.
It's smart pass and amplified.
It also has a 4GLTE filter
which means it cuts down on the distortion
to give you that beautiful crystal clear picture
which I'm gonna show you in a moment.
And while this antenna has a 60 to 70 mile range
if you do wanna use the included amplifier,
this just gives you a little bit more of a boost.
I don't need this even in the basement
in Toronto right now.
I'm really happy with the channels
that I have access to.
I'm gonna show you now
how to get the free channels added
to your TV from the antenna.
We've already searched through the channels
but I wanna show you right now that on this smart TV,
I already have Netflix, Amazon Prime,
access to YouTube TV or Google I should say.
If you aren't a Sling TV subscriber
and you're not enjoying that Live TV
or Direct TV now or you just really wanna see
what an antenna can give you.
This is what you need to do to set it up.
On any regular television
you'll just go into your menu settings and do a search.
You can auto tune your channels or manual scan.
Auto tune is the easiest,
the TV runs through all the available channels
and then programs them into your television guide
so all you have to do is change channels
just as you would traditionally
with satellite or cable
and you'll know in a matter of seconds
what you have access to.
So this is a very powerful antenna,
you can see it's already starting
to pick up channels
and most of our tests we're able
to get 12 to 15 channels.
In some cases you'll only get four channels,
in some cases you'll get 20 or 30.
It depends on where you are
and how away you are from the broadcast source.
Okay, it's moving faster than I thought.
We're at nine channels
and 100 percent.
So nine channels from a basement.
It's gonna scan through all of the other sources now.
This is the part that I'm gonna skip
because this will take a while.
I should also mention
that I am using live television.
Sometimes when people show you these antennas,
they do all these fake roundabouts
where the antennas not actually the source.
Just wanna show you right now,
this is Live TV tied to the Antenna.
Alright, so as you can see
I'm gonna lower the smart menu right here for a second.
This is absolutely beautiful crystal clear 4K
on my television right now.
This is high definition,
so let's keep going here.
Again, scrolling through the channels
as you would traditionally watching cable,
just using the remote.
The TV is already familiar
with what it's picked up.
Beautiful, you just flick through channels
as you would watching something else
and you can see the picture quality is tremendous.
I am a huge fan of this antenna
and more importantly the content
that I'm now able to get for free.
This is a great way
to enjoy free television on a dime
and as we flip through,
everything you need is there.
The channels are
all programmed into the television
and maybe you'll be able to get many more-
ooh, that does not look good.
Maybe you'll be able to get more channels
(laughter) than I've had access to
I didn't mean to laugh.
Okay, I just learned no one was injured
in that truck incident.
So there you are, everything's safe.
Wonderful.
Now this specific model of this Antop antenna
is best used beside a window
or outside as well.
You can discreetly run the cable
to your television source,
no problems.
But for me, one of the things
that I've noticed is when I do these videos,
I'll hear from a lot of people that say
oh well, you got 12 channels
and I got four or I got two, it didn't work
and it's so dependent upon
where you are geographically.
So there is a resource located under this video screen
where you can at least get a better idea
of how many channels you are likely to receive.
I should also mention
that if this isn't right for you,
you are not within range,
there are some great cord cutting utilities out there.
Including a box which I'll talk about in a moment.
If you wanna score this antenna
which is designed really well in the U.S.
and will also ensure
that you don't have the interference
of all the other pieces of technology
we have in our homes.
This is a great grab that you can make right now.
Keep in mind
that as we lead into the holiday season
there'll be all sorts of other ways
to cut the cord from the best android TV boxes.
By the way, I have a demonstration and deal on that.
That's what I should mention, actually.
For those of you that wanted
to know a little bit more about a box
that would unlock a lot of channels.
There's another video that I wanna show you
and if you click somewhere within the vicinity
of where I am right now
you can actually score a deal on that.
But for those of us that want
to cut the cord at the antenna
and you do happen to be within range of the source.
This is a great grab that you can make right now.
So, let me know any other requests.
The whole reason I knew
to even do this video
and to hunt this deal down again
was based on your comments.
