[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live about 65 miles from the transmitter and in a hole and get a great picture with this antenna. This is my second DB8 antenna, the first was about 6 years old and working great but could not hold up to 1 1/2 inch hail driven by 63 mph winds. We have had 80 to 90 mph winds and the antenna has held up just great.

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This antenna has resolved all my reception problems in my geographically challenged OTA reception area surrounding my neighborhood with a 100 foot high granite berm overgrown with trees and hilly terrain further out. Perched 35 feet high from the ground atop my house I get all of Boston's OTA signals.
This antenna replaces another leading antenna from a well recognized antenna company; I was 80% satisfied with that antenna but in changing weather patterns it needed another solution and the DB8e provided that solution performing like a champ.
No question. The DB8e does an outstanding job.

Nice but hard to aline with stations. You know the general directions but till you get it up and tune it in you don't know exactly. To tune in both halves you have to put it up and down to ajust. After done I was getting 10 to 12 channels. So I added a 30 dB gain amplifier and now get 47 channels. They still fade in and out some but better channels than ever before.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This antenna was easy to install and works great I am 30 miles from the transmitter and behind a mountain. It was so powerful I just aimed it in the general direction and the picture quality couldn't get any better.
