Antennas Direct Db8 Multidirectional Hd Antenna
Multi Directional HDTV Antenna

Manufacturer Part Number: DB8

General Information:

Intended for people at great distances from the transmitters, the DB8 is our most powerful multi-directional HD antenna. In fact, its 15.8 dBi gain make it one of the most powerful multi-directional antennas available.

The bow tie design of the DB8 uses triangular elements instead of rods to greatly increase the bandwidth allowing it to cover the entire UHF band. Additionally, the mesh reflector of the bowtie is more efficient than a rod reflector, is lower in weight, and provides less wind resistance for greater performance and durability.

This DB8 is the ideal antenna for use in locations that can pull long range signals from various directions and offers an attractive alternative to using a directional antenna mounted on a rotator.

    [...]

    Review: Works great. Instructions not well written, thank goodness for the photos. Using this antenna outdoors to receive both UHF & VHF. Both channel 10 & 23 towers are 47.5 miles from here. Have indoor amp which helps, may look into getting one that mounts close to the antenna. All in all, once assembled, well made & does the job. Sure beats paying for ads on cable each & every month. [...]

    Pros: Good Value

    Cons: Instructions

    pulls in stations from far away

    Review: I live just north of colorado springs, and wanted to pick up denver stations on digital tv. My old antenna would not do it. I put the db8 on my roof and now can pick up denver stations 60 miles away. Using an amplifer makes it even better. Note, though that the pointed direction of the antenna is very directional. Moving the antenna a few degrees side to side can lose the signal from denver. It does pick up closer colorado springs stations behind the antenna though.

    Pros: Small Size, Good Value

    Works great

    Review: I installed this antenna in my attic and aimed it at Baltimore (about 30 mi away). Without using a preamp and a cable run of about 40 ft., I get all the UHF HiDef stations with signal levels in the 50% - 75% range. Exactly what I was hoping for. This antenna is very directional. I was hoping I'd also be able to pick up D.C. stations which are about 60-70 degrees apart from B'more and also 30-40 mi away. No luck, but not a big deal since most network programming is the same anyway.

    Pros: Good Value, Durable, High Quality
