[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The DB8 is easy to assemble and install. I am able to receive 54 channels, exceeding my expectations. With my attic installation, I receive transmissions as far as 55 miles from my home. :)
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I built a home-made bow-tie antenna which did a pretty good job of getting the stations 30+ miles away, but not quite good enough.
This antenna combined with ClearStream™ JUICE™ UHF/VHF AMPLIFIER SYSTEM is amazing. I now get over 80 clear HD Digital channels from instead of the 30 I received with the home-made unit.
Installation was very easy and took less than 1/2 hour.
Oh do not get those "HD Antennas" from the big box stores. You pay a lot for a piece of junk. My home-made antenna outperformed them easily, so just think what this antenna will do!
It's worth the money!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted the best possible from San Francisco, 100 miles away. Not full reception, but it comes in perfectly a good part of the time. One San Francisco station with a high antenna comes in all the time. Meanwhile, all stations within the stated
65-mile range come in perfectly all the time. I used a chimney mount, with 15 feet of mast.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] it was a little more then I expected to put it together, the directions are a little confusing at first but in the end it went together and works great. I had made one with only one side and I got about 60 channels, I now get 110. It also depends on where you are from sea level, in my case at 1000 feet so I could get a lot more. I get channels I couldn't get before and it's a lot better in bad weather. The DB8 is fantastic for the money and works really well.

House is about 60 miles from Chicago stations. Previous antenna installed in 2nd floor attic, standard tv antenna, advertised range 50 -60 miles. The antenna was very sensitive to direction and often lost signal depending on time of day and weather.
The DB8 is also installed in the attic and just barely fits. Found a direction that picks up most of the channels clearly. I can get total over 90 channels, whereas previously only able to get about 60. The signal is much stronger and stays locked in where the previous antenna lost it. The antenna is easy to assemble and the price is right, very happy with purchase.

I live 60 miles north of San Diego and east of Los Angeles. Most of the time we can't receive any channel from San Diego and the ones from LA are not in English. I was led to believe that we were making a good purchase, so I am disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the DB8 to replace a rotating antenna that was very disappointing. I 48 miles from Ft Myers and 58 miles from Tampa. I cannot receive any Tampa stations and receive only 3 of the major channels reliably, FOX reception is spotty. I am only frustrated with the DB8.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This antenna was bought to replace an old single bay antenna that was bought in the 1960's for UHF. It was mounted on a single story home in a rural area. Mounted on a chimney mount 20 feet above the roof peak, making height from ground 35-40 feet. Assembly was easy, mounting was not that bad. It is connected to an old Alliance Tenna-rotor for switching directions. The majority of the stations I watch are NE from the house. At first scan I received 28 stations. The closest being 47 miles away. With moving the antenna I can pick up Raleigh, NC stations which are 70 miles away. I just hate that when you move the antenna, the TV has to be scanned again, which has nothing to do with the antenna. I would rate this a very good antenna for rural areas. It is well balanced and not very top heavy, which is the reason I prefer this style.
