[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Transmission antennas are 65+miles away but I get signal similar to long range VHS/uhf antenna. I have an inline powered booster which helps but this maybe the best I can do. I will try to repoint but using a compass the antenna and metal roof change due north.
I would recommend this to a friend!

UHF Only

The published information fails to say this is UHF only. You will need to add a second product to receive VHF stations.

Assembly OK. Set-up OK. Assembly instructions could be clearer. What side faces the towers not there.

Fantastic Antenna!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The DB8e has proven to be a great investment. I have a few stations that are about 70 miles away and not in line with the majority of the towers in my area. The other antennas' I tried failed to pick up the stations reliably. This antenna has no trouble picking up the stations far away with 100% reliability, it even picks up stations 70+ miles away on it's rear side. It has the capability to steer the 2 sides independently allowing for reception of channels in opposite directions. The stations I wanted to receive are in 5 different directions and steering this antenna made easy work of it. Several times i've been asked how I get channels from Lansing or Detroit, and this antenna is the answer!
One major factor is definitely customer service. As a system integrator I check everything. When I spoke with the rep when placing my order he verified far more than any other provider. He checked reception location (and surrounding landscapes,) distance to the towers, transmission power, interference and power from other stations, etc. It's always nice when a company not only knows their products, but when they value making sure you get what you need without spending money on a product that's overkill.
This antenna has been a rockstar. I cut the cord and haven't looked back. I recommend it to my customers on a regular basis. If you're looking for an outstanding antenna, you've found it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm in a unique location in San Diego where the two main broadcast towers are 110 degrees apart and it is quite hilly terrain. With the DB8e I was able to adjust the two arrays to pull in the signals plus I picked up stations from Tijuana and all the broadcast station in Los Angeles. All tolled I receive 100 stations from as far away as 120 miles! Definitely worth the money and only the price of two months of cable bills!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My home is like 150 miles away from the towers and this antenna did its job we are getting very good signal I get up to 20 channels. Before we only got 3 channels with another antenna that is the only kind they sell in here.

Set it up in my 3rd story attic (wood, asphalt shingles). One element pointed at Chicago 52 mi. away; other at Milwaukee 60 mi. I've lost count at the number of stations (~60+, of course some are duplicates because from different markets). Hooked through an RCA pre-amp near the antenna, then split to feed 3 TVs.
