5.0 out of 5 stars Great UHF & Good VHF performance, January 25, 2011

This review is from: Winegard HD7694P High Definition VHF/UHF Antenna (Electronics)

Installed this antenna in the attic (cement siding & pine shake roof). Pointing it properly made a really big difference in signal strength. With some adjustment (and moving it away from the metal furnace flue) I picked up all the HD channels from the tower 25 miles away with a signal strength between 50-100. It picked up all the channels off the UHF and VHF towers 25 miles to the north when pointing the antenna north, and even picked up the channels off the UHF tower 5 miles away which were about 120 degrees to the left.

I had previously purchased a ClearStream 4 UHF antenna but didn't realize it didn't do VHF. While the ClearStream 4 is fairly compact and easy to install in an attic, the Winegard HD7694P is a bit trickier to install/adjust/point inside an attic space as it's length, weight, and long metal rods tend to run into the attic 2x4's. The UHF performance is just as good as the ClearStream 4, if not just a little better.

The only channels I don't get are from antenna towers either 75 miles+ away, or in a totally different direction (which I didn't care about anyway). My cable run is about 50 feet long and I'm not using a signal booster with my Tivo Premier. So we are cancelling our DirectTV ($65/month) satellite service, because now we get lots of HD channels for free.

Moral of the story: Do your channel/tower/signal homework. Check the location of the TV towers with the channels you want on antennapoint.com or antennaweb.org.

Final tip: When pointing your antenna, point it once, check the signal strength, and then adjust its orientation to improve the weakest channel you really want. The higher power/better signal channels will probably still be good and you'll get that weaker channel's signal you want up into the "green".

5.0 out of 5 stars Works Well -- Still needed a preamp for Ch 6, August 21, 2009

This review is from: Winegard HD7694P High Definition VHF/UHF Antenna (Electronics)

I live in a hilly, wooded area about 16 miles from the local TV transmitters. The bunny ear antennas from years ago got me most of the local stations, but I had intermittent pixelation and sound problems, especially on VHF (13 and below) stations. I mounted this antenna in the attic of our 2 story house (My wife thinks antennas on the roof are ugly). That got it above most of the nearby trees that were blocking the TV signal and pointed it toward town. Luckily for me, the local stations are all in the same direction. This antenna does seem to have a preferred receive direction (the way the fork points). All of the channels 7 and above work great now even without a preamp. I got a preamp to help Ch 6 which is outside the manufacturers suggested 7-69 for this antenna. The preamp/filter seems to have solved most of the Ch 6 problems as well. This antenna is fairly big when spread (64" long, 36" wide, 12" tall), so if it had been much bigger, I would have had trouble orienting it in the attic around the roof supports.

I purchased this antenna to replace a Terk TV55 which was not providing consistent reception of digital channels in my location. I live about 30-35 miles from the towers in a neighborhood with lots of trees. The Winegard HD7694P added 10-15 points to the signal strength of all the stations it is pointed at and so far not a single drop out or lost signal. It includes the rubber boot to cover the RF connector and a decent manual. very satisfied.
