Winegard PR-4400 HDTV Antenna Reviews

Add Your Review

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.

Rating: 5 (excellent)	Nickname: Mark	Date: 2010-01-10
Summary: Excellent
This antenna provided reception for all stations it was supposed to and additionaly, picked up the high band VHF that I didnt thik it would pick up. The reception was from inside the house which was even more phenomenal and the signal strength was high! It even picked up the Fox affiliate which is 37 miles away. I did have to rotate the antenna to pick up the high band VHF since they are the only channels that are not in the direction of all the other towers so the antenna does seem to be very directional. The price was also right at a little over $30 which included shipping. This antenna is small enough that you could hide it behind a large screen tv and get all the free HD content without paying a dime.

Summary: excellent all the way around
My TV stations are about 15 miles away. The stations are 19, 25, 31, 48 and 54. After reviewing tons of different antennas I finally decided on this one. The compactness of the antenna was a big draw since I did not want a huge thing on the roof. I put this baby up on pole, reaching about 2 feet above the roof line. The strength meter on my TV shows max signal on all channels. I am running it through 75 feet of coax and its picture perfect on all channels. Considering how little I paid for this antenna I could not be happier. Its small, light and well built. I cant imagine a better antenna for the money, very happy.

Summary: Can\t beat it for the price.
I have had this antenna in my attic for a while now. Build quality seems to be very good. Performance has been as expected on UHF, for both Analog and Digital TV. My stations are all between 15 and 40 miles away. I have a dipole cut specifically for Channel 11. (My only High VHF channel.) What was surprising, is a direct a/b comparison between this antenna and the dipole. I could tell no difference in AGC level or S/N ratio. This would generally indicate the antenna is at least equal to a High VHF dipole in gain. If you are within 40-50 miles over relatively flat terrain, I would say it is hard to beat this antenna. And considering the price, it is definately a winner.

Summary: Good UHF Antenna, if properly applied.
Want to comment on what "So so Antena FOR ME anyway" said in his review. I both own several of these units, and have installed several for friends as part of an "area special" antenna system for my reception area. The PR-4400 or now HD-4400 is a good UHF band reception antenna for channels 14 through about 50, but not for either the lower or upper VHF bands ( channels 2-6 & 7-13, respectively ). It normally receives well out to 25 or 40 miles, line of sight, without need for amplification ( depending as well on the broadcast station's ERP ). However, the company or person who sold you this as being a "100 mile radius reception antenna" is simply a con artist, and needs a good kick in the back end. Tar & feathering would also be well deserved. In reality, and depending on your geographical area, there actually are few consumer UHF antennas that can make good reception out to 100 miles from a transmitter, both due to the inverse square rule for distance, the curvature of the earth, and land forms blocking line-of-sight. UHF signals are very "line-of-sight"; much more than VHF signals. Your best chance ( and its only a chance ), is to get either a Channel Master CM-4228, a Wineguard HD-8800, or a good, long UHF yaki, such as the Wineguard PR or HD-4032, plus a Channel Master #7777 pre-amp ( very low noise ratio ), and have it installed by someone who knows what they are doing. But at 100 miles from the broadcast location, all guarentees are off. Wish you the best of luck.
