It worked great for about a month and then it stopped picking up the VHF channels. It is a UHF antenna, but the local VHF channels had 100% signal strength when it was new. Now they have 0% signal strength.

Product worked great right out of the box. Although I saw later I could have bought the product for $40 less at Solid Signal.

I have it attached to my tower antenna about 20 feet in the air, half way. I am getting 19 chanels, about 6 more than with existing antenna whit is 40 feet in the air. I know I could get a few more if I put it on a rotor and was able to change which way it was pointed.I ordered this product on Thursday and received the next day.I was'nt expecting it for 3 to 5 days.

This antenna is bringing in about 21 US digital stations, we are across the lake from Erie and the only station we don't receive is 12. NOTE: The antenna I received does not resemble picture at all and the box was open. That is the only reasons for not giving it five stars all around.

This antenna replaces a homemade OTA-HD antenna that was used as proof of concept. We are down low in the river valley near downtown Calgary. This new antenna pulls in our two stations that have just begun HD digital transmissions and the signal strength is 4-5 bars. The HD is crystal clear. Note that the homeowner must add a grounding wire and grounding rod (both available at your local Home Depot) to have a fully building code legal installation. Say goodbye to monthly cable fees...

Very good long range UHF. Will also do local VHF, even channel 3. Rotor not needed as not very directional. Signal strong and clear. Live north of Toronto and pick up Buffalo stations very strong. Sometimes 100%. Mine is rooftop tripod mounted and I use a Channel Master 7777 amp.

Since I am beyond normal reception range with a mountain betwen me and the city, I had no expectations any antenna would work. To my surprize this 15.8DB gain antenna is receiving HD-Digital signals from several stations. It is mounted about a foot above my roof line. I added Radio Shack's antenna amplifier (about 30 db gain). My reception exceeds 80 miles. It was a good buy!

Very good antenna for long range. I'm 55 miles from the transmitter as the crow flies and this pulls the stations in very well. It's VERY directional and needs to be up as high as you can mount it for best results. I am using a RadioShack antenna mounted amplifier (15-2507) with it. Since it's so directional, and I want HDTV from two different cities, I'm buying a second antenna and will use a signal combiner from RadioShack (16-2568)to bring the signal in on one cable. One negative is that there is absolutely ZERO protective packaging inside the box, and there were even loose screws rattling around the box etc. The manufacturer should consider using a little styrofoam to protect the contents, or Tiger should consider packing this inside a protective box since UPS is known to CRUSH items.
