[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fairly easy to install, we have a gambrel roof. We are picking up all the stations that are listed in our area. Never going to get cable. Enjoy not having the bill! Customer service is fantastic, worked with us through the whole process. Always there when we had a question.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We needed an antenna that could get stations from two very different directions, and up to 60 miles away. We also live in an area with many trees (up to 70' tall trees, and between our roof and the stations). We live in a ranch style home and I didn't want to have to install a TV tower... just wanted something on the roof, about 12' above the ground. This particular antenna is amazing. With the help of Antennas Direct we faced the two banks of this antenna appropriately so that it pulled in EVERY station in the two urban areas. One area was NW of us, and the other area was SE. Almost 180 degrees opposite of each other. I was a bit stunned that we could do this and have it work so well. I was also surprised, and pleased that it picks up two additional urban areas South of us... about 60-miles South, too. LOL, I ran those on-line "station finder" apps from multiple web sites and they usually said I'd get 3 or 4 stations... but with this DB8e antenna we pull in 33 stations!!! I am amazed. I had questions for the people at Antennas Direct and they were incredibly patient with me. I called three or four times for advice/help and they were fantastic to deal with. Very knowledgeable source of information, and even after the sale they helped me immensely getting the antenna tweaked for MY particular situation. Oh, and the product itself looks well-built and I'm not a "handy" DIY kind of guy... if I can install this thing, anyone can.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Assembly was relatively easy with some confusion on my part regarding the use of the arrows comments in the instructions. The next challenge was determining the correct level of preamp required to get all the channels available without over powering the tv's (we have 6). A 30db amp is too much and an 18db amp is sometimes too little. 95% of the time the 18db works fine but I'm striving for 100%.

This is the third different antenna I have tried. This blows the others away for a steady solid signal without constantly adjusting direction. After installing a pre-amplifier it works much better than anything I have tried! Love it!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had two groups of stations about 110 degrees apart. This is the only antenna that i thought would work. One group is 20-25 miles away with vhf and uhf stations. The other group is 66 miles away with only uhf stations. This antenna worked perfectly with the adjustable panels. All stations comming in great. Just got it a few days ago, so durabilty will be determined. Seems to be pretty well built though considering the way antennas are built nowdays. I don't think anyone makes them like the old days.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Increased channels with antenna and "Juice" amplifier. Couldn't get all channels I wanted, but still good. The directions should be re-written with better illustrations. You can tell it's been written in China.
