Very Happy, so far...

Installed yesterday from about 70 miles from both Washington DC and Baltimore MD. I get most networks from both these cities. I bought the amplifier, but not the VHF add-on. I still get the VHF channels, which is nice. Installation was a breeze.
My only problem is related to one of my TVs. It is a 2013 Samsung Smart TV. It apparently has a higher threshold from adding channels during the "Auto Program" than my other TV (2013 Panasonic). So, the Samsung gets fewer channels. Additionally, this version of Samsung does not allow manually adding stations. Big bummer.. and not so "Smart". So, I miss out on 2 or 3 important channels on my main TV. This is all not a DB8e issue, of course.
In total, I get 60 channels with the Panasonic and 51 with the Samsung. The antenna works great so far, and I would highly recommend, just beware if you have the Samsung issue.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This antenna was easy to assemble and install. We were able to get one extra channel than our old antenna. But the picture now is excellent .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm located in California's Central Valley, halfway between Fresno and Bakersfield.
I was using a pair of rabbit ears on the roof and picking up 13 channels.
Replaced with the DB8e Extreme Long Range antenna, now I receive 27 channels.
Very happy with purchase...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought the DB8e antenna as a gift and was so impressed with the great reception, I'm buying one for my house. Does not take up a lot of attic space.

We just installed our DB8e antenna yesterday. We are thrilled! We now get NBC which we haven't been able to get a signal for so many years. The transmitter for that one station is located directly back to back from our other transmitter site that has a number of stations available. They are approximately 40 miles apart with us being directly in the middle. We didn't want two antennas so I was very excited to find out about this multi-directional antenna. We placed it on our rooftop with both wings facing the direction of the most transmitters. It is has such a strong reception we get NBC off the back side of the antenna wings. We also have an amplifier attached to get the most out of it. I highly recommend this antenna!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not a cheap antenna but it sure is worth the money. We get 31 channels crystal clear, most are HD that cable just can't do.
