This antenna allows reception of stations that are in different directions. In my case, it didn't work better than a fixed 8-bay UHF antenna aimed at a distant station where local signals are strong enough. Assembly takes some time and care. It's unwieldy to install if you have not tightened down the bays to prevent them from moving during installation. It is easier to install with both bays fixed facing forward. Aim the bays after the antenna is mounted.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This antenna was suggested by Antennas Direct to supplement a Clearstream 5 for my area (the Villages Florida) which is relatively far from the nearest broadcast towers. The Clearstream 5 was OK on its own; however, together, these antennas produce fantastic reception. Both are located in my attic and were purchased as part of bundle that also included a combiner and a pre-amp. Very happy with the products, the reception, the value, the ease of installation and not having to monthly fees to get local channels!!!

I have two broadcast centers located about 100 degrees apart, and at 38 and 65 miles away from me. The gain of these antennas is much better than the ones they replaced, but the idea of mounting them on the same mast didn't work well. I ended up separating them from each other as much as my attic would allow. That improved the overall reception of both groups of broadcast centers.

This antenna was easy to assemble with clear instructions. I mounted it to the end of my home and pointed it using a website and my phone. Extremely easy to do. We are between two cities (~50 miles in different directions)… we pick up about 70 extremely clear channels! So happy with this antenna!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] DB8e Digital TV Antenna
I live in a forested area where most of the transmitters are 25 miles away. 2 are on top of a mountain, but most are in the opposite direction and about 200ft. lower in elevation than my location. In addition, the previous owner installed the mast directly behind a 35 inch DBH (Diameter at Breast Height) Oak tree.

Using Antennaweb.org, I faced both elements towards the obstructed and lower elevation broadcast towers. The combiner has allowed me to utilize the dual bowtie and reflector panels to receive un-pixelated reception of both the obstructed towers, and the mountain towers which are 180 degrees from the majority of the broadcast towers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First thing do your research on what channels do you want to get. If you can put a antenna outside I would recommend this one DB8e. Just remember F,T,A tv is what it is. By accident I found a TV station 108.51 miles but I also had to compensate for other TV channels by losing them. Overall do you really need cable then this is the way to go. All day long I say. I put mine on a pole. If I want to turn it i use a monkey wrench at the base.
