[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After installing this antenna I’ve had no problems what so ever with and grainy pictures or poor reception. I am over 85 miles away and love being CABLE FREE!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This antenna picks up every channel within 50 miles of my house. I have it in my attic and attic and the signal strength is almost as good as on the roof (that CC&R’s prohibit). I highly recommend this antenna for all you cord cutters.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought a Winegard elite 7550 after speaking to a winegard rep and reading the great reviews, got only 6 channels, the same amount as the window antenna on the wrong side of the house facing the wrong direction, was an amplified antenna as well. Returned it and bought the DB8e, now have 13 channels without an amplifier, going to buy an amp now to see if it gets even better.

I have this inside my attic at the moment, but am working to move it up to the roof. There was a BIG difference between having this on my first floor and having it up another 10' higher inside my attic. I suspect I'll see even more improvement once it's outside on my roof (again, another 10' higher). I got a LOT more channels than I expected, based on the signal map!
I do recommend a pre-amp if you are trying to pick up weak signals... that made a big difference too!
I will come back and change this from 4 stars to 5 stars if I am able to pick up the NYC stations (70 miles from me!) after this goes up on the roof! Fingers crossed!
But I am already getting stations that are about that far away (I'm in Poughkeepsie, NY and I am getting CT stations from Hartford and New Haven!).

Pretty Darned Good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Another cord cutter here...you all know the story so I won’t get into that part.
First we went with a firestick for our programming but I missed my local news, weather, and sports reports. So I chose the DB-8e, mounted it on the roof and now I get 1 channel (FOX) on VHF (remember this is a UHF antenna).
The reason I only get 1 OTA channel is my location.
I live on an island 2 hours N. of Seattle (~60 mi. from any transmitters). Several hills and tress to interfere with my reception. When I first installed and scanned for channels I did get my local CBS channel but the next day when I tightened everything down for the last time it wasn’t there...haven’t found it again after numerous tries. St least I have 1 local channel.
We have had this up for about a year now with no other issues, but I am contemplating a signal booster or a taller mast and trying for more channels.
The overwhelming majority of my tv comes from the firestick and that’s good for us.

The antenna was so strong, I really didn’t need the pre-amp and other amplifier.
It came on time and was all I hoped it would be.
I for sure would deal with antennas direct another time.
I would recommend this to a friend!
