Antenna Deals

Ordered HD2605 antenna. This antenna was easy to install. Excellent reception up to 150 miles and more.

New HDTV DVR box wont recognize their own or any of my USB drives - necessary to record programs. The unit is worthless and I have tried 8 times calling for service, 3 emails, and texting their text number. Absolutely NO RESPONSE from them after 2 weeks of this. DO NOT BUY from them! I believe the positive reviews are a hoax. I saw the negative reviews and figured... yeah, a few people got bad products but I won't. I was definitely wrong. They will not respond to you.

FOLLOW UP to my previous review - AFTER I posted this negative review, the Antennadeals owner contacted me and offered to give me a refund without returning the product ONLY if I removed this negative post. I offered to consider it only after I saw the refund, but for him it was all or nothing - he would do nothing for me until the post was changed or removed. I've seen that he has done this to several others who posted on this site. I reminded him that this is blackmail and not a wise business practice, but the result was that after I resisted taking down my honest summary of my experience, he withdrew the offer and became very uncooperative. He said I must return the item (at $18.00 shipping, which was half the cost of the product in the first place), but based on his other reviews and comments he made to me (called ME a scammer) I was sure he would claim the return never arrived and I would still not get a refund. BOTTOM LINE - This company ONLY responded to me AFTER I posted a negative review. The customer is NOT a priority, and if I never would have posted a negative review, I would not have been contacted at all. Although I'm stuck with a brand new piece of junk, at least there is power in warning others about this owners complete disdain for trying to make things right for buyers who get his defective products. I'm sure there would be many other negative reviews that you won't see as he insists buyers remove them in order to get a refund.

I live in a rural, mountanous area. I could not even get internet for the longest time. Iwas confused and skeptical about all of the different types of antenna's at Best Buy and the different color zones and miles away from me. I purchased the HD 2605 because of the new G3 technology, omni directional, 150 mile range, remote control, and the fact that it receives ALL of the colors and channels. My plan was to hook my antenna up to my Directv Mount and use the existing cables. It did not work at first. The Directv pole is 2 inches and the Lava 2605 antenna mount was 1 inch, also I needed a double male coupler. I actually have it installed on a wooded plunger handle for now-duct tapped! I tried to connect the antenna to my TV upstairs from the main connection downstairs- It did not work. After configured it a couple of different ways upstairs and downstairs i went to the main connection downstairs and connected the Lava Box to the main cable coming from the the Directv Sattelite- It Worked! My hand held remote does not work yet- maybe because of my temporary installation. The red rotation button on the Lava Box work i had to have my wife push the button while we were on the phone and i stopped it according to Antenna Web's description of the direction of my furthest channel 357 degrees. I downloaded a compass app and it worked out. I found out the information about being able to use the existing cable, Antenna Webb, and the compass from a testimonial on-line.
My only suggestion is for Antenna Deals to have the ways of mounting, using existing equipment listed, and any accessories that you might need listed. Overall very satisfied with the products, its claims, the assembly and installation. I get the major channels in beautiful HD and some extras too! If i can assemble and install it anybody can! Now i am looking for a proper pole! Thanks Ryan.
