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.

| Summary: great reception |
| The quality is not the best. Screws are hard to turn, you can tell it is made in China. However, it works very, very well. We are 50+ miles from from Ashville. We just mounted it on the pole where the satellite dish was. We receive frequency 7 and 13 which are VHF. We receive channel 4(freq 36) Ashville which is in the violet range. We also receive several channels from Charlotte area over 30+ miles. We receive stations from Asheville, NC, Greenville, SC, Charlotte, NC, Spartanburg, SC, and Belmont, NC. It could be even better if we put it on top of the house. |

| Summary: not real preased |
| Had decided to buy the new Channelmaster but did not want to wait for it to come out.
I live apreox 60miles from stations and they do not come in well at all.I have a channel master long boom antenna that is a crossfire version and it does well and is not as directional as this antenna.
Also I tried the rg8 cable and a amp.Very flemsy antenna as well. Not Happy |

| Summary: Best UHF Antenna for the BUCK. |
| I purchassed the Wineguard HD-8800 From Solid Signal the best place to buy satelite and HDTV supplies. The Wineguard HD-8800 gives me 80 to 100% signal on all UHF channels which are from 5 to 50 miles away. I would highly recommend both Solid Signal and the Wineguard HD-8800 antenna. |

| Summary: great under ch30 and lightweight |
| unlike the cm 4228 and most other top quality consumer uhf antennas, this one peaks in the lower uhf band, something i needed to pick up ch18 and ch22 from 65miles away.
it is lightweight, so i was able to drag it up to the roof alone.
build quality is ok, but it is a bit less rugged due to its aluminum lightweight. it is built well but can bend easily; not sure how it will hold up under wind/ice loads or how much minor alignments issues will affect it.
shipping is also nice compared to hte 4228 as it can be folded and shipped more affordably. |
