Channelmaster CM-3018 UHF/VHF/FM TV Antenna Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After much research and trying the Winguard antenna that DirectTV sells, plus an amplified indoor antenna from Radio Shack, I did my research and came upon this gem.

I live 36.7 miles from the transmiting station and have never been able to receive ABC off the air in HD.My receiver showed about 23% reception with the DirectTV antenna.Upon installing this antenna and pointing on the correct azimuth, my ABC reception went to over 90%.I flawlessly get all the major networks off the air and in HD.

I also found this model about ten bucks cheaper at my local Lowes store.

If you're using the antennaweb.org to determine your antenna needs, this one prints the colored pie chart right on the box, which the outdoor Radio Shack antenna did not do. They also print the db gain on the spec page on channel master's website.BTW, this one covers all the way to the Violent range.

I noticed that Channel Master's web page specs showed a range of 40 miles for this antenna, but when I picked it up at Lowes the box said 30 miles.Being 36.7 miles away I was worried....needlessly.Reception is excellent.

The only draw back is the size.My wife nearly fainted when I put this thing on the roof.She thinks I'm trying to contact an alien mothership or something.Actually, once it was on the roof on my 2 story house it didn't look too bad.If the HOA complains I do have room in the attic to put it.

Terk HDTVO Amplified HDTV Antenna Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wasn't sure if I need a big antenna or not...the most distant station is 35 miles away...but one of the stations I wanted to receive shows in the Blue (on the antenna wheel) on [...].The Terk HDTVo shows it can handle signals out to the Blue area...so I bought it.Took me all of 30 minutes to attach it to my Dish Satellite mast (mounted it just a bit lower than the actual dish on my roof) and run the RG6 to my old Cable TV hook up outside the house.I let my Dish 811 receiver do a channel scan and every local station that is available in my area was captured.I clicked to each station and all but one of them comes in at 89-92 on the scale of 100.I have one weak channel which hovers between 69 and 72...but the picture is perfect.I can now watch HD channels for free with this great little antenna.I had considered the Wingard Square shooter and the Sensor 2200...but neither of those claimed to get a signal from the mid/far range (blue on the little antenna wheel on the box).The Terk delivered on it's range..in fact..the station that is the weakest is actually closer than the channel that I was worried about (I think the issue may be one channel is using less broadcasting wattage and it may be a bit off axis from the dead-center of the antenna).The only caution I can give with this antenna is, it is very directional.That means...all your TV station transmitters have to be in a very narrow corridor for this antenna to grab them all.I'd guess if they were spread more than 20 degrees you may have trouble getting a strong signal on all the stations.I'm not done tinkering with the antenna yet.I may try and put a short extension on my dish mast and boost this antenna above the actual Dish to see if I can't increase the signal strength on the weakest channel.
Terk claims..the higher you go with this antenna..the better the signal.
