Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The DB4 from Antennas Direct has become one of the most popular models of HDTV digital antennas because it is simply one of the bests mid-range HDTV antennas on the market. With an approximate 13.7dB of gain, it is one of the strongest multidirectional antennas available and performs consistently across the entire UHF spectrum. It even works well in areas where HD transmitters are sending in signals from multiple directions. The bow tie design of the DB4 uses triangular elements instead of rods to greatly increase the bandwidth allowing it to cover the entire UHF band.
One of the strongest multidirectional antennas available
Additionally, the mesh reflector of the bowtie is more efficient than a rod reflector, is lower in weight, and provides greater wind resistance for better performance and durability. If you are looking for an antenna that is practically guaranteed to perform, the DB4 is one of your safest choices. It will pull in all UHF frequencies and most higher-level VHF frequencies with a range of about 55 miles.
Easy to Install
Weighing only 4.6 pounds, the DB4 is easy to install with the included mounting hardware. Thanks to its light weight and superior wind resistance, it's more resilient in outdoor applications than other common HDTV outdoor antennas while maintaining a strong signal.
Complete the Picture
Antennas Direct offers a complete line of mounting hardware and accessories that work with DB series antennas. Consider adding the CPA19 ClearStream Pre-Amplifier Kit for more power in remote areas, or the STM-715 Universal J-Mount for additional height when mounting on smaller building alcoves or exterior mounting. To get the complete picture, check out the range of compatible accessories from Antennas Direct.

The DB4 was the strongest antenna I have tried. It is also the only one that receives every digital station at nearly 40 miles from the Kansas City stations, (and my signal meter pegged.) I was even able to pick up a few out of area stations I was not expecting. The build quality is better than anything else I have seen.
I have recommended the DB4 to several friends who are also having similar success. It would be hard to screw up HD reception with a DB4, but I would not use an antenna as strong is this if you live less than 5 miles from the transmitters as you may encounter multipath interference.
Also keep in mind, even a great antenna can not make up for line of sight obstacles such as buildings and hills, and no antenna will it solve installation errors with, poor connections, splitters, long cable runs, low elevation or faulty tuners.

I really believe that anyone giving this a negative or low review of this product never bothered to find out what type of antenna they needed for their specific location. There is a web site created specifically for this purpose [..]. I followed the instructions on the site, ordered the appropriate antenna, aimed my antenna in the direction suggested, and lo and behold I'm at a 98 signal strength (out of 100). Great success with this product.

Our home is located down in a valley where it is impossible to get any local stations in - period - so please bare that in mind as you read our review. Usually, homes around us have either digital cable or satellite service. We have found the multi directional HDTV antenna does pick up stations clearly for the most part. However, for reasons we can't figure out at this time the signals come and go every so often - even on cloudless days. But, you get what you pay for. We are happy to be free of the cable bill of $65 a month for very basic cable or the ridiculous service we had with a horrible satellite company who robbed us blind with poor quality service. Thankfully, we have netflix when the antenna can't pick up the stations. We would, however, recommend purchase of this mutli directional HDTV antenna. We've tried others in the past and have gotten no signal whatsoever - so this is a great improvement. We would estimate a clear signal/sharp picture 90% of the time. I'm sure in time we'll figure out how to keep the sharp picture constant - save during bad storms when signals are expected to be lost.

Great antenna
Even inside, the antenna picked up various channels, after doing a full channel sweep/search. Some channels showed low signal strength, but most had a high-quality image signal. Read more
