Rating: - Flawed design
This antenna has a serious design flaw that effectively blocks access to channels 19, 20, and 21 and makes other channels marginal. It performed worse than indoor rabbit ears until I corrected the design error (I am an EE with some antenna background).
Rating: - Good antenna for the price.
I have been using the antenna for about a month. It works pretty good. I do recommend if you are more then 20 miles from the towers that you buy the pre-amp for this specific model antenna. I am going to purchase it now but am pulling stations from about 35 miles away at about 65% signal. I want to maximize that and get ready for the transition. I still have staitons I am waiting on to transition to digital in my area so it has not really helped that much.
I got it because DirecTV does not offer me my locals and I did not want to be stuck not watching the Super Bowl, 24, American Idol, and Biggest Loser this year. I am ready to go.
Rating: - Channel Master Antenna
The Channel Master antenna has enabled me to receive FM radio stations that I could not get with an indoor antenna.
Rating: - Works great!
Attached this directly to the mast of my old OTA antenna and picked up every DTV signal in the area (even the few that were off-line from the main ones). Pointed it straight at Sutro tower. I'll reserve the 5th star for whether the plastic body and antenna parts last through a couple of years of sun/wind/rain.
Rating: - OUTDOOR ANTENNA DOES NOT WORK
The antenna does not work at all. I hook it to my converter box and get nothing!!! I hook it straight to the TV and I get nothing!!!!
With my rabbit ears I currently get 10 channels clear as a bell. I am supposed to get 4 digital channels but get nothing with this antenna.
I have rotated it in every direction and I am less than 20 miles from the transmitters.
I rated this antenna with 1 star because it would not let me rate it any lower.
VERY VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS PRODUCT
