This thing is huge, but it definitely works as advertised. Now I receive 31 channels, vs 24 I used to receive with my 20 year old one (which broke). I receive signal from some stations I didn't know existed. The included mast only measures around 5 ft, so you will probably need a longer one to install the antenna at a proper height. Sometimes I need to rotate it in order to receive the signal from certain channels.It all depends on where you live. Visit www.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/maps/ to learn which channels are available in your area and where do you need to point your antenna at. I live between a lot of mountains and indoor antennas are useless, so if you need to buy an outdoor antenna with good range, this is right the one.

Price = A
Performance = A
Easy Installation = B (Try not to bend the elements. Look for a big place (16ft x 16ft) to install it)
Instruction manual = A
Strong construction = A

I bought several small indoor fancy looking antennae and none of them receive all the channels from about 20+ miles. Always wary of these big antennae's I finally ordered this one after looking at the reviews online and other sites.
I would say that the reception is the best i have seen in a long time. My house is almost 40miles from the transmitting tower and I recieve all the major channles. Except for some channels that transmit at low power or at different angles that the rest of the Major broadcasters the reception is pretty good. I didn't even know that those low power channels even existed or were free to begin with.

Good and cheap investment that has really paid off. You don;t need to mount it all the way at the top of the House. Just make sure there is sufficient clearance of about 30-40 ft open space from where this is installed. I just installed it right on top of the backyard door and there are some trees that are taller than this antennae in my neighbours backyard, but still no problem. Good luck with this purchase.

Most of my life I have used little bunny ears to get over the air channels. After the switch to digital singal I lost all but two channels. I went to [...] and found the transmitters are over 61 miles away. First I bought a cheap outdoor antenna from ebay which broke after one use cheap for a reason I guess. Next I bought this big big antenna. It works great it is picking up channels in the violet zone and over 61 miles away without a pre amp. I live in a valley around some tall trees and a big church and my singal strength is about 38 % from the 61 mile transmitter now I get over 14 channels $55.30 one time beats paying $47.75 a month for cable. I have this antenna mounted outside on the second floor with a 15 foot mast. I bet this winter when the trees loose leaves the singal will only get better. I might try a pre amp too see if pick up any more.
