 Very good Antenna July 21, 2010
JG (Olney, Maryland United States)
Best Antenna I have ever bought. I would suggest this antenna for broadcast antennas 50 or so miles away. I use this antenna with a pre-amp and can get TV stations from just under 100 miles away. I would buy this again.

This antenna works well and is relatively unobtrusive, considering its size; I have not determined whether its upper VHF reception capabilities are any good, but it is sensitive and directional for UHF TV signals (for which it is designed)

After 15+ years of Direct Tv we decided to start saving $90/month. After building a homemade antenna [...] ; which works very well for UHF, however we needed a single antenna solution.
Purchased this item and was up and running in minutes. Works well across both spectrums; mounted in the attic. I am a bit worried about the balun as it seems a bit fragile, but we will see. Overall a great purchase.
Probably the best reception antenna on the market April 16, 2010

This is my fourth antenna I have tried over the years. The first was a medium range Yagi style I had used off and on for years, then got a great deal on a Philips MANT940 when I finally decided to dump Comcast. Even though the Philips was quoted as being a "high gain" antenna, I quickly learned it was a marketing ploy. It couldn't even pull in one station. Next, I tried building my own 4 bay bow-tie antenna. It worked about as good as the Yagi. Frustrated, I finally did some reasearch which led me to the 4228. The 4228 is probably the best antenna on the market. It was either going to be the 4228 or a much longer Yagi (about 8 feet long), but I felt the Yagi would have been uglier and tougher to mount.
According to [...], I am 24 miles from the towers of the major broadcasters, unfortunately, I have lots of trees and a big hill in my way. So this I learned was why my reception was always spotty with smaller antennas. Well I must admit that the 4228 has met or exceeded my expectations. By far it outperforms all other antennas I've used. I've split the antenna feed to three tv's. I am able to pull in all the major markets on two of the tv's, however the standalone Motorola HDTV receiver I have does not perform as well as the newer tv's. I mention this because it's not always the antenna, but it may be the receiver.
I recommend this antenna to anyone who is more than say 20 miles from the towers and/or has had difficulty with other antennas. Again, this antenna is probably the strongest reception antenna sold. It may be ugly, but it is effective. With other antennas I barely pulled in the major networks, but with this one they all come in strong and on occasion I can even pull in a few stations from the Providence market over 50 miles away.

I had a smaller antenna (Purchased at Walmart), that would not pick up all local stations. This larger (more expensive) antenna (Channelmaster 422HD)picks up all local stations & much clearer.
