You would think because it's outside & up higher you would get a great signal...wrong. My inside antenna works better and is more reliable.

We read many reviews - all mixed - so we decided to try it out and were very pleased with the results. I have a feeling that some of those who had a bad experience with this antenna may have forgotten that you have to have a tv with the digital converter built in, or a converter box for the older tv's. The orientation of the antenna is important also. I'm sure a huge outdoor antenna would have worked well also, but they are unsightly and too big for the attic. We are not avid tv watchers, so the stations we get are plenty and now we don't have to pay for cable.

I am about 40 miles from the stations. I got about 50 local channels after installion. I mounted about 2 feet about the eve of my roof. (About 10 ft above ground level.) Excellent picture on all channels. The only problem I had was my roof slope did not work with the adapter. I had to make some modifications to the mount in order to get the antenna level, but I am a mechanic and was able to adapt it without too much difficulty. I think my roof is a 4/12 pitch, but I am not real sure of that. It does tell you in the directions that you may purchase a mast locally if theirs does not work. I am very happy after the installation.
Wow! [Posted on 2008-10-21]
I bought this so I didn't have to pay Dish Network for my locals and get better quality (seems they get their locals from comcast and it gets compressed again#. I am in zip code 60041, 43 miles from towers. My area is violet, this was rated at blue but didn't want to install one of those old school big antennas so I thought I would give this one try. This thing found 30 Digital channels! Can almost get CBS 2, but they are switching to a new tower in Feb. All other ch's come in @ 80-100 % on my vip 622 box. I used a compass to get me in the general direction, then did some adjusting after that to get the best signal. I installed it on the top of my garage and then installed the power injector in the attic of the garage #the amp is in the antenna itself). Anyone who says this thing doesnt work must have hooked something up wrong. I made sure to find an area that wasnt blocked by trees or homes. Take your time and buy quality Quad Shield RG6 coax and this thing will treat you well.
The mounting screws that were supplied had the top half unthreaded. If mounting on roof need to get new screws that are fully threaded so it will grab into roof solid. Only cost me an extra dollar to get.
finally one that works [Posted on 2008-10-30]
