Product Description

Product Description

The DB4 has become our most popular model because it is simply the best Mid Range HDTV antenna on the market. With an approximate 13.7 dB gain, it is one of the strongest multi-directional antennas available and performs consistently across the entire UHF spectrum. It even works well in areas where HD transmitters are in multiple directions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best antenna on the market for digital reception, June 21, 2007

By	JWalter (KC) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do your research, September 19, 2007

By	Matthew M. North (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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. The government has a web site created specifically for this purpose www.antennaweb.org. I followed the instructions on the site, ordered the appropriate antenna, aimed my antenna in the direction suggested, and low and behold I'm at a 98 signal strength (out of 100). Great success with this product.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not that bad, July 5, 2008

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.
