Digital camera reviews of Antennas Direct DB4 Multi-Directional HDTV Antenna
Digital camera Review: Awesome Antenna
Summary: 5 Stars
I mounted this antenna on top of my 1 story business building. The building is in a very bad area for reception and with an indoor antenna I was lucky to receive one digital channel and it would come and go. I am now getting all of my local channels crystal clear and am extremely happy with the performance of this antenna. I will purchase one for future for my home in case of cable outage!!Digital camera Review: Awesome Antenna!
Summary: 5 Stars
I live in the Boonies far from stations and put this antenna on a 45' pole with the Winegard 8275 hi-gain preamp. I am getting 12 digital and 4 analog stations. The great thing is, I am getting one HD station 30 some miles one direction and another HD channel 45 miles in the opposite direction! This is a multidirectional antenna as it says. It is not as directional as some have reported. I am totally impressed with it.
Digital camera Review: BEST HDTV ANTENNA for HOUSTON TEXAS and maybe other places as well...
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried about ... well a lot of antennas here in Houston. I actually live in 35 minutes north of Houston and channel 8 PBS is IMPOSSIBLE to pick up clearly. After multiple antenna purchases and resells on EBAY, I finally bought the famous DB4. (I actually got it cheaper on EBAY) I set this up in the same place as all of the rest and to my surprise... wait for it.. wait for it... PERFECT CLARITY!!! I get the random digital pixelations on a very rear occasion during a storm, but putting this antenna up has picked up a few extra channels. Most of the extras are in Spanish, but they crack me up with the poor dubbing. If you have the need to learn more about antennas and what's best for you, go to http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/Address.aspx and put your address in. It will show you where all the antennas are in relation to your house and what is the best type of antenna you should buy.Digital camera Review: BUYER BEWARE! DB4 unacceptable after June 12, 2009 DTV Transition
Summary: 1 Stars
Well, the DB4 antenna I bought from Amazon.com worked fantastic until the New York City DTV transition that occurred on June 12, 2009. As it turns out, the DB4 (Along with many other Antennas Direct products), although somewhat deceptively advertised as "HDTV" antennas, only work for the UHF frequencies. Several New York City stations moved their RF frequencies into the lower VHF frequency band during the transition, which are not covered by this antenna, therefore I no longer can receive these stations. I just wasted $69. Of course I could buy yet another "VHF" antenna and a combiner, or buy a VHF/UHF antenna, but what will be next......move some more channels into a newly opened SDHF (Super Duper High Frequency) RF spectrum so I have to buy yet another antenna. There would be no more room left on my roof !Digital camera Review: Bad design
Summary: 1 Stars
The solder on the board cracks at the rf connector and the signal gets weak. I have resoldered the board twice in 5 months. I got excellent signal when first installed but the signal keeps getting weak. I found the solder joints in the board was cracked. The cable is tapped to the mask, so there is no pressure on the rf connector. Just bad design.
