Good but not Great!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Antennas Direct "The Lacrosse" Amplified HDTV Antenna (Electronics)
Because of the advent of digital television and the opportunity to get HDTV signals for FREE over the air, small compact antennas are popping up everywhere! Winegard started the trend with its Square-Shooter and now other companies are following their lead. Terrestrial Digital has recently entered the scene with its Lacrosse line of square styled "dish" type digital antennas, competing head to head with Winegard.
Since the Terrestrial antennas cost a little less than their Winegard counterparts, and Amazon had the best price anywhere... I ordered the Terrestrial amplified model. The installation was very easy and pretty straight forward. The antenna is built well and seems very solid and substantial. The antenna amplifier is mounted on the antenna mast, connected with a short cable and powered by a cable "injection" unit inside the home. One thing to note: The Lacrosse antennas are designed for UHF signals only... which includes ALMOST all digital TV signals. Being about 30 miles from the TV towers put the Terrestrial Lacrosse to the test and it did pretty well on several stations but not so well on others with intermittent pixeling and drop-outs. I added a second amplifier prior to the splitter and things improved... but I still wanted better and more consistent reception. About this time, I received a "like new" Winegard Square-Shooter amplified antenna from a ridiculously low bid on eBay... and I decided to install this antenna and see if there was any difference. To my surprise, the difference was very obvious! The Winegard pulled in almost every available channel with NO problems!!! The Winegard is not as structurally solid as the Terrestrial, nor as heavy... but it does a better job of bringing in the signal... which is why anyone buys an antenna in the first place! Also the amplifier is built into the antenna (not mast mounted). There is still the power "injector" for inside the home but the built-in amplifier feature means two less outdoor connectors... this is GOOD!!! Also, the Winegard receives both VHF & UHF signals rather than only UHF as with the Terrestrial. So, for MY situation the Winegard proved to be the best antenna by a fairly wide margin. Obviously, your situation may find different or perhaps even opposite results. I returned the Terrestrial for refund and am so far delighted with my eBay bargain Winegard Square-Shooter 2000.

This review is from: Antennas Direct "The Lacrosse" Amplified HDTV Antenna (Electronics)
This unit receives UHF HDTV stations a good 50+ miles from our home. It is mounted facing to stations in one direction (15 miles away) and it not only receives these stations it also picks up stations in the other direction at distances to 50 miles. It is durable and easy to setup for an outdoor antenna. The picture quality it delivers to our system is excellent. You will not go wrong purchasing this unit.

HD Antenna, not bad,

This review is from: Antennas Direct "The Lacrosse" Amplified HDTV Antenna (Electronics)
This antenna installed easily, but is really borderline for reception at the 25 mile range. It does well in the UHF band, but is no good for VHF at this distance. Worth the money? Yes, if most of your HDTV channels are on UHF.
