Digital camera reviews of Channel Master 4228HD Long-Range Outdoor Rooftop HDTV Antenna
Digital camera Review: ***UPDATE - NOT THE SAME! BEWARE!
Summary: 3 Stars
****UPDATE****** This is NOT the same antenna that I reviewed! Unfortunately the CM4228HD is NOT the same as the old Channel Master 4228. The old 4228 was a better antenna all around, made in USA and a different design. Amazon probably doesn't realize this and substituted the new antenna for the old without realizing that they perform differently. I am demoting this to 3 stars as a result.********
Old review:
I live in Wantage, NJ (zipcode 07461) which is a tough area for DTV reception from NYC. We're located approximately 48.5 miles from the transmitters at the ESB, and behind hills, therefore the path to us is 2 edge diffraction and very tough.
Prior to this antenna, I tried a philips corner reflector/LPDA from Lowe's, which would only pick up NJN (state run public TV) and a couple of religious broadcasters. I figured it was time for something else so I bought the CM4228.
The 4228 is a time tested design of eight dipoles (bowties) with a reflective screen.
I put it up on my 86 foot ham radio tower, aligned it towards NYC with the help of my wife (who was watching the signal meter on the TV) and got nearly every channel, with the exception of WNYW-DT (UHF 44). But considering that [...] and CEA's antennaweb gave me very low prospects for receiving anything, I consider my result to be satisfactory. WNYW is a special case as they have a directional antenna to prevent interference to channel 44 in Atlantic City NJ.
Yes, I have a tower, but this antenna works fine on rooftops or other structures. It may even work in an attic. Since it is classified as a large directional, you will need to aim it properly, otherwise you'll be doing more harm than good to your received signal. Its high directivity also helps with multipath and overload from strong nearby signals.
The big plus of this antenna is that the screen acts as a VHF antenna, so it may be all you need come 02/17/09 when some of the digital stations move back to VHF.
