    Good over all antenna - NH winter will be the Test
    So, it was pretty easy to put up - however, the stations seem to fluctuate a bit. It is outside and not very high off the roof about 23ft is our main pole mast - and about 4 ft from the roof. All in all, it does a decent job I get anywherr between 44-52 channels on any given day. I might use an amplifier down the road, but for now it should be fine. Prepping the main-mast took the longest and getting a game plan together really is essential before mounting it. It took us about 30 minutes for me to set on our roof and dail it in as best as we could...

      It truly is the best antenna ever
      [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!

      Great antenna
      [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.

        WOW!
        [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.

          Great antenna - good range!
          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.

            Great TV Antenna!
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This antenna was easy to assemble and mount in my attic. The best part is the ability to face the antenna wing in two different directions which is needed in my locale. It easily picks up 58 channels with crystal clear clarity. I think this is the best HDTV antenna for the money.

              very good antenna
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the design/material of the antenna makes it possible to be fasten to the pole firmly. before installing the whole thing on my roof chimney, i tried on the ground, the received TV signal was excellent.

                Problem fixed!
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When the local Fox affiliate sold to another station we lost those channels due to being broadcast from a different distant tower. The dual antenna allowed us to direct one of the antennas to pick up the signal, and we now get all broadcast channels.

                a big disapointment
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this multi-directional antenna to improve/expand my channel reception replacing an older directional one. I ended up losing two channels and gained none.

                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very high quality construction. High gain. Ran 100 ft of coax and still got 60+ channels from 49 mi away.

                Excellent antenna
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Replaced my Clearstream 2Max with the DB8e, the new antenna delivered what I was hoping for. The DB8e consistently picks up a channel I was having trouble with before and provides 5-bar reception for nearly all channels including those 30+ miles away. The antenna also looks good. Very happy with purchase.

                Reception is great
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The antenna was very easy to assemble and mount. I live in a reception blind spot but this antenna is picking up more stations than my old one and it is a stronger signal even though I have houses and trees in the path to the broadcast towers. I still need to use an amp but I am in a very bad location. Great antenna!

                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This antenna was easier to install INDOORS within a north facing window frame on X-Y centerline. See photo...

                Good, but not good enough
                This antenna got lots more stations but not the ones we wanted, not the fault of the antenna but our location.

                  Really good antenna
                  We completely unhooked from cable and went with this HDTV antenna. Very pleased with our decision. My friends and neighbors are going to do the same thing.

                  I wanted to upgrade from my original antenna to the db8e hoping to receive more local network channels . Unfortunately , that didn't happen . But it is more attractive than the other, so I'll keep it for that reason .
