Lately we have been dealing with an increasing number of attempts to manipulate antennas ranking. Note: each person is allowed to post one and only one review for each antenna model. Exceptions can be made only under special circumstances when the reviewer feels that his earlier review must be corrected.
We have a sophisticated manipulation detection system in place and we will not tolerate any attempt to game the system and mislead consumers and our visitors. We reserve the right to delete any review that we feel is misleading or inappropriate and do that at our sole discretion. Thanks for understanding.
Also, from now on we require all reviews to be at least 100 words long. Short reviews, such as "a piece of junk" or "works as advertised" are not very helpful. Consider specifying more details. Elaborate on your location, the equipment you are using, reception quality of specific channels in your area. Check the word counter at the bottom when writing.

| Summary: Finally one that works! | ||
| I tried two indoor antenna\s before finally buying the outdoor Winegard HD7694P: First, I tried the Terk HDTVa indoor antenna. I was able to occasionally receive all but one channel (10), but the thing was so horribly designed that it could not stand up on its own. It was only able to pick up stations if I pointed it directly out a window in the right direction. Second, I tried the Winegard SS-3000. This antenna did a bit better, but was just not quite powerful enough to keep channel 10 locked in all the time from 36 miles away. It was only able to pick up stations if I pointed it directly out a window in the right direction also. Then, I purchased the Winegard HD7694P. I live in a condo, and trying to put this antenna outside would have been a disaster. I have access to my attic, so I hung it with nylon twine from the diagonal rafters. Even without an amplifier (the two previous antennas had them), every station came in with signal qualities near 100%. This antenna is having to receive all signals from 36 miles away, over one hill, through my tile roof, through the metal covering under the tile roof, through the plywood, and then through 100 feet of coax. In other words, it has many more obstacles than the amplified indoor antennas had to deal worth, and it is working perfectly. I cannot praise it enough. and it was cheaper than the other two antennas! ($47) | ||

| Summary: I finally get Fox11 from L.A. | ||
| I live in Southern Riverside county about 70 miles from Mount Wilson in LA and about the same distance or less from scattered antenna sites in San Diego. My first antenna attempt was an ebay special with an amplifier, it was in my budget at the time, but I was not able to get channel 11 or 13 or a few other PBS channels. The NFL playoffs forced me to do more research for an inexpensive antenna that would pull in the Fox signal. This forum helped with my decision to get the Winegard hd7694p. I was a little skeptical whether it would do the job or not since I am farther away from the tower than suggested for this antenna. To make a long story short I went to Fry\s and bought the antenna for 55.00, put it on the roof and I now get all of the channels that I could not get before plus a higher signal strength on all of the channels I got with the old antenna. | ||

| Summary: The answer to many reception problems! | ||
| If you live in a moderate signal area, but have trouble with digital signals dropping in and out, this antenna may just solve your problem. It is good gain on the high-band VHF and UF bands, and is compact and well-made. Not a deep-fringe monster, but perfect for the suburban viewer whose reception needs a boost. I would suggest it's use up to about 40 miles from the transmitters, but be sure to use an amplifier if you plan to run multiple TV sets with this antenna. | ||

| Summary: HD solution | ||
| After reading reviews and having purchased another brand of HD antenna that didn't perform well I finally settled on the Winegard 7694P. I was surprised how small it was, especially after putting it on the roof. I replaced a Clearstream 4 that was only fair at receiving channels 14 - 69 and terrible at receiving 2 - 13(VHF). At the time I purchased the Clearstream it was not advertised that it would not pickup VHF, since they did not think any stations would use VHF after the digital switch. But almost all broadcast areas will have at least one station that broadcasts digital on VHF, so keep this in mind when you shop for an antenna.
The Winegard description clearly states that it receives channels 7-69. This was critical in my decision making. It is working perfectly, even on windy days it locks in to all channels. Signal strengths are strong and I probably won't need my rotor anymore. I am picking up stations 50 miles away with ease. This one is definitely the right choice. |

| Summary: Extremely pleased with reception | ||
| TVFool said I needed a blue-rated antenna to get the major network broadcasts from Denver 20 mi. away (we're in a valley with no LoS to the antennas). Radio Shack wanted $140 for a suitable antenna. I took a chance on Winegard HDF7694 from Amazon. Whereas before I got only a few nearby stations I now get 31 channels from up to 75 miles away. Couldn't be more pleased! | ||
