| 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: Couldn't be happier | ||
| 100% satisfied with this product. I live 40 miles from the broadcast tower (I'm in Allen, TX), with plenty of metro area in between for potential interference. With my former pancake-style indoor antenna I was grabbing 15 or so channels, with about 5 that were worth watching, and I would be forced to lose certain channels in order to receive others, depending on the angle of the antenna. After installing the HD7694P in my attic I now get *53* channels, and I get the lone VHF channel (WFAA channel 8) in the area with a 97 signal rating. (Previously this channel would not appear no matter what I tried.) In fact all local channels, which are mostly UHF, have the same solid 97 signal rating with the exception of PBS which has a very acceptable 70.
I get a rock solid signal with no amplifier, and I didn't even need to mount it on the roof. This is a huge success. |

| Summary: Attic Mounted! A+ | ||
| I mounted this thing in the attic.
Go to [...] to get the direction to mount this bad boy. It took 3 minutes to assemble and 10 minutes to mount in the attic. This thing is VERY directional. I first had this thing mounted about 180 degrees offset and was getting 20% signal, at first I was worried it was because the attic mounting. Once I got a compass app for my phone I got this thing dialed in based on the specs from [...] My signal is now 90%+ on all stations, even the high VHF low channels (which I wanted because thats CBS and NBC!) even during storms I don't get ANY drop off. Pair this with a home built HTPC using windows7 media center for free DVR and you now how a Over the Air POWERHOUSE!!! |
