Summary: Performs well in difficult location
This area is ringed by hills. My house has large trees in the direction of San Francisco, CA antenna concentration. This antenna doubled the number of stations that I could receive over a homebrew bow tie quad bay antenna with no reflector. I receive both UHF and high VHF stations clearly. The construction of this antenna is good, no real assembly required, only unfolding and tightening thumbscrews. I only purchased a five foot mast neglecting to notice that the antenna required top to bottom mast connection. The pictures of the mast in advertisements make it look like there is an integral center spine. I may purchase another mast section to mount the antenna higher, as it is the bottom of the antenna is only 2.5 feet above the roof. However, now I receive about 25 stations clearly and a couple that are not acceptable, this is without a mast mounted amplifier. I have a feed of 100 feet of RG6U coax.

Summary: Great reception
We live in Georgetown, Texas area. Because we have a metal roof, I had to install the 4228HD on a pole. Made sure directed in recommended heading, used handheld GPS device. We receive 18 channels, with two stations 50 miles away. We do not reside on a hill, but rather in a lower area. Did not require amplifying. Very pleased with results. Free HDTV is super. Receive channels 7.1, 9.1, 10.1, 18.1, 24.1, 25.1, 36.1, 42.1, 46.1, 54.1, 62.1. In all, local stations from major networks, two weather stations, five PBS stations, three spanish speaking stations. Good selection of antenna. Will have to see how well it holds up.

Summary: The "new" 4228HD is a cheaply made chinese knockoff.
The old 4228, made in the US (like the one in the picture) was an excellent antenna. Sadly, Channel Master company sold out and moved their factory to china. The "new" 4228HD is a different design, it is poorly made and measured gain (per other testing sites) is much less on many channels than the old tried & true design. Avoid this junk antenna.

Summary: CM 4228 with CM 7778 Amp
I live about 35 miles north of Atlanta on I-85 in Buford. First tried mounting this antenna in my attic and did so for serveral months, but Channel 2 kept giving me some network lag so I moved the antenna outside with about a 20 yard Cable drop to the TV. Now i have full strength on all of the good digital channels, there are more available but here is a summary of the better ones: 2.1 2.2 5.1 8.1 11.1 17.1 36.1 46.1 69.1 Note that my house is a little down in a hole too! Great buy, get this antenna and make sure you buy the CM 7778 amp and you will get all of those local channels! J

Summary: Didn't work for me!!!!!!!!!
Installed this 4228hd antenna(poorly built)wouldn't pick up as many channels as my winegard 7210p and the one's it did pick up were weaker. The construction of the 4228 is very poor and where you hook up the coax it couldn't get any cheaper. It might work if you could see the tv towers from your location. I wonder if the good reviews are from channel master employes.
