Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)After much research and trying the Winguard antenna that DirectTV sells, plus an amplified indoor antenna from Radio Shack, I did my research and came upon this gem.
I live 36.7 miles from the transmiting station and have never been able to receive ABC off the air in HD. My receiver showed about 23% reception with the DirectTV antenna. Upon installing this antenna and pointing on the correct azimuth, my ABC reception went to over 90%. I flawlessly get all the major networks off the air and in HD.
I also found this model about ten bucks cheaper at my local Lowes store.
If you're using the antennaweb.org to determine your antenna needs, this one prints the colored pie chart right on the box, which the outdoor Radio Shack antenna did not do. They also print the db gain on the spec page on channel master's website. BTW, this one covers all the way to the Violent range.
I noticed that Channel Master's web page specs showed a range of 40 miles for this antenna, but when I picked it up at Lowes the box said 30 miles. Being 36.7 miles away I was worried....needlessly. Reception is excellent.
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. Actually, once it was on the roof on my 2 story house it didn't look too bad. If the HOA complains I do have room in the attic to put it.
