(More customer reviews)My first comment is that dealing with Channel Master is SUPER. Every order I have made from them has been shipped within a day of order placement and I have received the items faster than through any other source on line. The 4220 M HDTV antenna is a small (a bit over 2' square) non-directional UHF antenna. The "M" signifies that there is an antenna mount included in the box. The antenna has great UHF sensitivity within 15 miles of the target station towers. I believe it also has some sensitivity in the high VHF range as well, but have not tried to get stations there yet. I have gotten extremely clear HDTV signals that range from 60% - 100% on the signal strength meter on my HDTV for all of the local network HDTV stations (12-13 miles away) and an adequate and stable 40-50% signal from a more distant and weaker PBS station. My only problem has been an intermittent drop out on the ABC channel, but that may be due to using one 6' length of old RG6 cable that I had on hand of questionable quality.
This antenna works very well in my area since almost all the stations are within about 5 degrees of each other and I therefore do not need a rotor. The farther you are from the signal source, the more likely you will need a larger and more directional antenna and also a rotor to aim that directional antenna at the desired station.
Summary: Channel Master is a very high quality on line vendor. Their products are well made and work as advertized. This antenna is a very good HDTV UHF antenna for people who live within 15 miles of the TV towers as long as there are no tall obstructions (Buildings, hills, or other interfering structures). The antenna accomodates at least a 5 - 10 degree span of signal directions well.
