Great for challenging locations

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My quest for a good UHF antenna for my difficult location seems to have been completed with the DB8e. I am located in the foothills of Western Maine with my home tucked into the side of a large hill and plenty of trees to fight with. I have a tricky location which requires me to mount this unit on top of my garage to avoid trees directly across the street. When paired with a clearstream 5 for VHF signals and a good preamp, this antenna successfully maintains 20 channels of broadcasting from the Portland, ME market which is the best I have achieved yet. These towers vary from 24 to 52 miles away. On many occasions, I have received many stations from tropospheric scatter from Boston and Providence which are over 150 miles away. The bowtie design seems to work better for me in this location than a yagi and the ability to turn each panel eliminates the need for a rotor. All in all, I would most definitely recommend this antenna to anyone in a challenging situation for TV reception.

Not hard to put together and install

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We haven't even made adjustments yet to the antenna and we have 25 channels on the main floor and over 30 channels upstairs. We'll make adjustments and see what else we can get. We installed it on top of the garage where the directv dish was. It is worth the money and no more satellite or cable bills that keep going up. We'll update when we make more adjustments.

I live in the middle of Florida, so I needed to pick up signals from both Naples/Ft. Meyers & Tampa. This antenna was a perfect choice as it is able to point two different directions at the same time! The towers run between 45 and 70 miles away, but no worries, this antenna picked them up beautifully! I am so happy and I'm enjoying FREE TV!!!!

The antenna does it job very well. Excellent reception and range. The only complaint I have with the antenna is the hardware and how the antenna is adjusted. This could be improved.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live between Milwaukee 42 miles and Chicago 60 miles. I set it up in about 30 minutes and used Tvfool.com to see where to set each side of the antenna. Installed it onto the mast and am receiving 57 ota channels without any adjustments. Both Chicago and Milwaukee channels are working great. I'm going to give it a couple months before canceling cable but so far I am extremely happy. My neighbor will be buying one also as it is an awesome little compact unit that is very appealing to look at.
