INCLUDED POWERED SIGNAL BOOSTER
The antenna finds the signal. The booster helps bring it home.
Over-the-air TV signals can lose strength before reaching your television. InstaBeam's included powered Signal Booster adds gain before the signal reaches your TV's tuner, giving weaker incoming broadcasts more usable strength.
More signal where it matters most: at your TV.
It does not create stations that are not there. It helps your TV make better use of signals the antenna is already receiving.

- Powered Signal Booster included — nothing extra to buy
- Omni-directional reception means less constant aiming
- No Wi-Fi required for local TV reception

GET MORE FROM INDOOR RECEPTION
Where you place an indoor antenna matters.
Broadcast signals still have to travel from the tower into your home. Start higher or near a window when practical and keep the antenna away from large metal objects. If a station is weak, move the antenna a few feet and run your TV's channel scan again.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions about the Indoor Premium TV Antenna
Which channels can I receive?
Available channels depend on your location, nearby broadcast towers,
terrain, buildings and antenna placement. Use the ZIP-code checker
above to see nearby stations and mapped tower distances around your area.
What does the Signal Booster do?
The included powered Signal Booster adds gain before the received
signal reaches your TV's tuner. It can help when a local broadcast
arrives weakly, but it does not create stations or signals that are
not already present.
Will InstaBeam work with my TV?
InstaBeam is designed for TVs with a standard coaxial antenna input
and built-in digital TV tuner. Displays without a compatible tuner
may require an external digital TV tuner.
Do I need one antenna for each TV?
The simplest setup is one antenna connected directly to each TV.
If you want over-the-air reception on TVs in multiple rooms, each
television can use its own InstaBeam. Splitting one antenna across
multiple TVs may require additional distribution equipment and can
reduce signal strength.
Do I need Wi-Fi or internet?
No. Over-the-air local TV reception does not require Wi-Fi or an
internet connection. Internet is only needed for separate streaming
apps or services you choose to use.
What are VHF and UHF?
VHF and UHF are television frequency bands used by local broadcast
stations. InstaBeam is designed to receive both bands used for
over-the-air television.
Why do I need to run a channel scan?
Your TV needs to scan the antenna input to find and save the digital
broadcast channels available at that location. If you move the
antenna meaningfully, run the scan again.
Where should I place the antenna?
Start higher or near a window when practical and keep the antenna
away from large metal objects. If a station is weak, move the antenna
to another position and run your TV's channel scan again.
Will I receive every channel shown by the ZIP checker?
The ZIP checker is an estimate based on nearby stations and tower
information. Exact reception can still vary with terrain, trees,
buildings, construction materials, station power, antenna placement
and your precise location within the ZIP code.
Are all channels broadcast in HD or 4K?
No. Picture resolution is determined by the local station and
broadcast, not by the antenna itself. Many stations broadcast HD
programming, while digital subchannels may use other resolutions.
4K reception requires a compatible local broadcast and compatible TV/tuner.
Are there any monthly fees?
No monthly InstaBeam subscription is required to receive the
over-the-air local channels available at your location. Optional
third-party streaming services or apps may charge their own fees.
What is the guarantee?
InstaBeam is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee, subject to
the terms of our return and refund policy.
