What customers say about "Key Specs"
Channel Master CM-3020
- Excellent long range antenna from Channel Master.
- The range is approximately 80 miles that use, so probably 100 mile range for major stations is correct.
- Very good antenna with long range. I'm about 60 miles from the nearest tower and coupled with the Channel Master CM-7777 I manage to pull in 41 channels.
- Good receive across the design frequency. Works well for digital signal. You just need to make sure all elements are aligned and straight.
- Does not pick up all the channels that are in the range.
Channel Master CM-5020 Directional Outdoor TV Antenna 100 Mile Range Masterpiece Series
- Exceptional range - I would recommend this unit to anyone. I also installed the Titan 2 Pre-AMP which put the icing on the cake.
- This is a superb product, tried the other makers which claim long distance TV signal capture but this is the only one which works and it works great!
- Excellent quality. Good price. Range is fantastic. Price is good. I definitely recommend this product.
- Antenna works great! Crystal clear reception. Broadcast towers range from 35 to 55 miles from me. Very satisfied.
- We chose this antenna because it is supposed to be heavy duty, 100 mile range, and had pretty good reviews.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Channel Master CM-3020
- This antenna is big - a beast - fortunately made of mostly hollow aluminum and some plastic so it is not heavy.
- Nice antennae, pulls in distance stations quite well, a little on the large size but maybe that is why it works so well.
- Easy to install, light weight,very good reception. So after 3 months I am very pleased with this antenna.
- The only surprise was the size of the antenna when it was fully extended. I didn't measure it but is took up the entire peak of my attic.
- The only draw back is the size. My wife nearly fainted when I put this thing on the roof. She thinks I'm trying to contact an alien mothership or something.
Channel Master CM-5020 Directional Outdoor TV Antenna 100 Mile Range Masterpiece Series
- Its kinda big and really visible, but i don't care, the mere fact that I get all the local channels, and a bunch of uhf channels makes up for the large antenna size. It really works! I highly recommend it.
- I grew up with Channel Master antennas in our house, they were always good. This antenna in not as big as the one it replaced but works very well. I highly recommend it.
- It is big, but that is what it takes for me to get stations that are 60 miles away (with hills in between).
- Easy assembly and a snap to contact. Fairly easy to handle even with its size.
- Due to the size of the unit, you may or may not be able to perform an installation in your attic.

What customers say about "Features"
Channel Master CM-3020
- We had a perfect picture on all three of our televisions and no need for signal amplification.
- The reception from this antenna is as good, if not better than cable. I am also driving four television sets from this one antenna without any kind of amplification.
- The great thing about it is that you can put the power supply inside the house and it will send the power through the cable line to the amp outdoors.
- It is not going to be easy to install due to the large size, so no, it is not so easy to install.
- It is a good one but not suitable for outdoor. I had this product for last 40 days and during summer its black plastic material gets crack due to heat.
Channel Master CM-5020 Directional Outdoor TV Antenna 100 Mile Range Masterpiece Series
- Heavy duty build. As you would expect from Channel Master, this unit is sturdy and looks build to survive all weather.
- The reception holds up well during strong wind, heavy rain and snow storms.
- The antenna has been up a couple of months now through some pretty good windy rain storms. Rock solid reception whatever the conditions.
- I live about 75 miles from the TV Towers and the wind is very strong here. This was the perfect antenna for me.
- This is fantastic product. Well built and constructed. Substantially increased my reception of TV and FM signals from old antenna.
