Great antenna. I now get 12 channels instead of the 3 I had with a cheap $5 antenna.
I did not realize you can not use below ground level. Wish this was mentioned in product description.
I use mine extended about 1/2 way (it depends on the target frequency you are aiming for--mine is Ch 9) and can pick up 7 of the 8 signals within 5 miles. While most HDTV channels are UHF, I happen to live in a market with 4 UHF and 4 VHF signals. The 8th station is 20 miles away and the hdtvi will pick it up from the attic when pointed directly at the VHF station. The VHF channels can be tough to receive, and many so called "HDTV" antennas don't pick them up at all. But this hdtvi has 2 long rabbit ears for VHF. It's nice to be able to point the VHF rabbit ears in one direction (flat, since the signals use horizontal polarity) and the UHF space age thingy in another direction, to maximize signal. Overall, I can't give it 5 stars since it won't work in all cases, but if you are
good enough, saw all the games in HD.however, should of got the one with amp, it would of cost more, but, i'm curious how that help with receptions for the signal. wondering if they can be bought separately.
I think it deals well with multiple path situations where the different paths tend to cancel out at the antenna. This antenna really works well for me. I have had trouble getting good HDTV / UHF reception in my apartment and have tried two different loop antennas (one of them amplified) and this one works much better. This antenna is directional so picks out one stong path and rejects the interference. Very happy customer here after months of fiddling around (unsuccessfully) with other antennas.
