| Summary: Amazing Results for Such a Low Profile Antenna | ||
| We live just north of San Diego on the coast, up the hill about 100 feet above the ocean. Our cable shows only San Diego TV for local programming, but we knew there was a plethora of free, quality choices on the air as well coming from LA. Two or three years ago I purchased a Channel Master 8-bay bow-tie antenna on a rotor and all was well until stations starting jumping frequencies and it became clear we needed a separate VHF-Hi antenna. The C5 was well reviewed, and I was skeptical, but took a chance and put one up. The results were nothing short of spectacular. From about 100 miles from Mt Wilson with the C5 mounted on a short 5\ pole on the roof, we get KABC minimum 4 bars, often 7. our local 8 and 10 come in just fine off the back of the antenna (we\re about 4 miles from the xmitters), KCAL sometimes doesn\t come in but 90% of the time it does, and it\s strongest in the evening when we watch their extensive news programming. In the evening and up until about noon we also get KTTV and KCOP. The best part is that it doesn\t seem to bother my neighbors (at least not yet) because it is considerably more stylish with its black color than a shiny aluminum raw metal-looking monstrosity. This antenna is a keeper and I recommend it highly. Al, KI6KEH | ||

| Summary: Works as stated | ||
| I was shooting for channel 11.1 59 miles from me. The cable company here chose to use a Tampa station for CBS network and they don\t display Afc games that are in competetion with the local NFC team so I installed the antenna 6 feet off the ground and aimed it at the station location. I turned on the set and the signal was perfect no pixalation at all. The terrian here is flat and that may have helped with the reception but I am very pleased with the performance. I had some concern before installation because in the past I have installed some antenns that made claims for distance and was very dissappointed with the performance. | ||

| Summary: C5 works very well for us in the flat | ||
| I am a amateur radio operator and design and build my own antennas. I was a little skeptical of claims from Antennas Direct for the C5. Not any longer. My personal antenna is a Winegard HD 7694P with pre-amp. I had some weather fade at times and aim was critical. I decided to the C5 myself at 35+ miles out, behind a hill, a water tower,trees, upon a 10\ pole. Up went the C5, no pre-amp, Perfect signal. I even took it inside, removed the screen and hung it in a window facing the station. Made it Bi-directional and it lost some gain but it Worked perfectly after pre-amp installed. | ||

| Summary: Great! | ||
| I am in central San Diego and it gets all of the HDTV stations, both UHF and VHF, and also some Mexican stations. It is in my attic and it has coax cable with a few couplers to take it two floors down to my TV. There it has a splitter for my two tuner cards.
Reception is flawless except for a couple UHF stations in rainy weather (rare in San Diego) that drop out occasionally. I tried the UHF/VHF combiner it came with on a few UHF antennas and reception was always worse with two antennas, even with a signal amplifier. This VHF antenna picks up UHF better than the UHF antennas I have tried, and it is the only antenna that has picked up all the VHF stations. |

| Summary: X-directtv subscriber | ||
| Digital HD comes in great in Jacksonville, FL. I went on top of the house to take down the Direct TV antenna and replace it with this one. I chasing my tail because I was thinking I was going to use the cable from the old antenna. Not a good idea. I never did get it to work with the exsisting cable. So, I took it down and brought it into the house to set it up with a 6 ft cable that I had laying around. It works wonderful right inside the house. The picture quality when the transmitter is transmitting 1080p is every bit as good as Directtv ever was - no shaddows, ghosts or lines. Now a save about $125.00 a month. At least I don't feel like I am paying for all the commerials that I got on the history channel and all the others. The only channels that are without commerials are the movie channels. There again you get hosed because there are only a score of movies on each channel that you watch for that month. The only channel that I will truly miss is FOX news. Even on that channel, I won't miss the commerials. I have Redbox and Netflix and a fast connection, but I had that before. No amp needed. | ||
