[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Installed on my roof with the large post from the site, used compass settings from the site, used the premium cable from the site, and the 4 splitter amp from the site. Installation was a breeze, received 35 HD channels with excellent reception. Installed it in my existing cable TV network in my utility room...simply plugged each room's cable in the new splitter from the cable's splitter and used termination caps on the empty cable spots. (I still subscribe to the cable internet.) The only modification I had to make was to the black box on the antenna itself. The premium cable diameter is too large to fit in the pre-molded base and lid so I had to use a 1/2 inch dia. drill to "mill" out the hole to fit the large cable so I could close the lid.
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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] easy to assemble. my father-in-law lives 5 blocks away and gets better reception on an antenna that cost half this one.

Me and a friend worked for the better part of 2 days taking the antinna up and down repositioning it with no luck.
Put the old analog antinna back up like it was to start with, backto 30+ channels.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The antenna is not very well constructed for outdoor weather here in New Hampshire where it is always snowing or high winds. I have reinforced the back of the wire mesh screens but I had to do per bay because the way the antenna is moved to get different azimuths. This is a weak point because it is only a one junction it would be a much better design if it had three points of rotation. I do not even know if it will hold up one season. Another weak point in my opinion is that the elements are not continuous. They are of rugged rod but are connected at the ends by little round rubber or plastic pieces.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Can't give a rating because my antenna would not install this antenna and I am to old to climb the tower. I had assembled it and put it on a five-foot pole. I won't say what else he said.
I would recommend this to a friend!
