I finally decided to dump the dish and was left with my 2 Yagi type antennas that were more of a backup when Dish was out. I needed 2 because the towers are around 65 degrees apart. When I got my TiVo, they worked until it got windy or stormy and had signal strength issues. So, I tried a couple other antennas, and nothing better. I picked this up just to try it knowing I would need 2. Okay, so I mounted it on the old Dish mast facing due North just to see what would happen since the specs say this has a 70 degree spread. It works. I am just amazed that it picked up the UHF and one Fox VHF from both directions. My towers are at 351 and 48 degrees and it does it. Signal strength on the TiVo OTA blasts up to about 80-84 and then settles at 72 on every channel. Don't know why it backs down but I suspect that it's a firmware issue with TiVo and not the antenna. Long story short, channels are rock solid, even in the 40 mph wind we are getting right now. And this antenna doesn't blow around like my old aluminum Yagi's did. This one should be on your short list. Oh ya, for reference antennaweb.org has me listed at 13-17 miles from both tower farms with trees in the way everywhere. Great buy since I now only have to worry about 1 antenna and cable. Do be patient putting it together. Took me a couple tries to get it right.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Is mast included?

I can't tell from the description if the pole/mast is included. I'd like to mount it in my attic. Do I even need a mast?
It was in my box.
