Since moving to a new house about a year and a half ago, our TV signal has been marginal. It was decent during the winter months, provided that the weather was good; we would often lose all channels except one once the tree foliage developed during the summer months. After reading the other reviews, I decided to give this antenna a try; I also added a signal booster to the system since my only aesthetic installation option was low to the ground, underneath a porch (metal roof prevents acceptable attic installation). After assembly and installation, we reprogrammed our TVs and found that we are now able to pick up several additional channels, even during the summer months. Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase. I would have rated it 5 stars, but the antenna packaging was not suitable for standard shipping methods. The box was open when it arrived, and it did not appear that it had been subjected to any rough/abusive handling. Fortunately, the antenna was not damaged and no parts were lost. I would recommend that the manufacturer upgrade the packing box, or that Best Buy put the manufacturer's box inside another, heavier box for shipping.

I installed this in an attic mount on a single story house. I can pull in 37 channels, through trees and over hills. I get stations from as far as 50 miles away, at very high signal strength. Going to be cutting out dishnetwork now that I have this baby. I could probably pull in another 15-20 more channels if it was mounted outside, but since I get all the ones I wanted anyway and it would probably be more junk channels like old movies and such I didn't bother. Plus I preferred to have the antenna indoor out of the elements. It should last forever installed like that. Only minor complaint is that it is expensive, but was on sale for a fairly reasonable price, and not paying 2 months of dish pays for it entirely.
