What's great about it: Every local HD channel comes in
What's not so great: Could use better instructions

"I just replaced my Terk HDTVA with the DB8. I kept getting a poor picture (fading in and out) with the old HDTVA. As soon as the DB8 came in, I had it together in about 30 minutes and installed in my attic. Channels I thought hadn't made the transition to HD yet were now coming in. Yes , it's more expensive than most people would like but it does the job. Go to www.antennaweb.org before buying an antenna so you can see what's best for your home."

What's great about it: Lightweight, good rain/wind resistance, Good reception.
What's not so great: Assembly pictures in B/W.. could be better.

"I bought this antenna to replace a monster YAGI antenna with a 13' foot beam. I got the DTV converter boxes, but the old antenna would sway in the wind, and when wet the signal would come and go. No more. It took a little tweaking, but now I get 13 channels crystal clear. I installed a mast-mounted video amp, and have a 4-way splitter... one of the branch-legs has a cable run of 50', and the signal was a little weak, so I put a 24 DB gain video amp after the splitter, and everything comes in great on all 4 TV sets.
BTW- I live in the mountains of WNC. Reception here is always a little tricky."

What's great about it: Awesome picture quality!!
What's not so great: Assembly instructions could be a little bit clear.

"I was sceptical of this product when I bought b/c I have bought previous antennas and did not receive a very good reception. Then I got this product...I put it together in my living room floor and hooked it up just to see if I would get a signal. I received 6 digital channels in crystal clear HD.

I have since hooked it up out side (just on a 6 foot pole) and I am very happy about. I have at least a 92% signal strength on every channel. I live in the valley of two mountains and I am pleasantly surprised on how good every channel looks. If you have not had any luck with previous antennas...get THIS ONE!!"

What's great about it: Sleek look, powerful reception
What's not so great: Assembly instructions a little vague.

"I live only 15 miles from transmitters (in a straight line) but my terrain and trees are a big factor, which makes getting a clear signal tricky. Other traditional antennas I have used are bulky, ugly and sway in the wind too much affecting reception. This one is the king!! I get an 85% signal strength on the weakest channel. I have used splitters before and DO NOT recommend due to so much loss. It is best to have separate antennas for other sets"
