Product Description
The DB4 has become our most popular model because it is simply the best Mid Range HDTV antenna on the market. With an approximate 13.7 dB gain, it is one of the strongest multi-directional antennas available and performs consistently across the entire UHF spectrum. It even works well in areas where HD transmitters are in multiple directions. The bow tie design of the DB4 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. If you are looking for an antenna that is practically guaranteed to perform, the DB4 is one of your safest choices. It will pull in all UHF frequencies and most higher level VHF frequencies with a range of about 55 miles.

 Attic installation in Lincoln, NE - Works Very Well December 2, 2008
There is a warning in the installation instructions saying that signals would be cut by 40% to 50% by being installed in an attic instead of outdoors. However, this was not a problem for us. We now receive more channels than we hoped for--16, all very strongly.
better than rabbit ears... December 1, 2008
received antenna with some elses paperwork including stating being returned due to ordering the wrong model. That freaked me out a little, but antenna was not damaged. I has hoping to have antenna in the attic but after some testing decided it had to be mounted outside to work the best. Antenna does work better than rabbit ears but I don't get the 20 stations like other users, but a did double my stations, so for that I am happy.
Good HDTV Antenna November 29, 2008
Brings in a good sharp picture. I have mine mounted in the attic and it works fine. Need to aim it carefully.
Works indoors for me, near RTP, NC November 29, 2008

Works great indoors, as research & other recommendations noted.
Skipped buying the stand, since it can sit on the floor or a speaker.
In normal weather conditions, I can leave it pointed East & pickup all local broadcasts (under about 50 mi) without needing to adjust the antenna. This includes stations coming from the West like PBS (UNC-TV). Cloudy/windy/rainy sometimes requires adjustments, but that's expected & acceptable for free HD/DTV.
The setup presently is a Phillips HD-ready TV (CRT style) with a Samsung HDTV tuner. Previously had been using the smallest antenna style from an ATI HDTV Wonder kit, which had trouble maintaining a signal since it was designed for closer towers.
Our home location is near RTP, NC by the mall [.........]
Shipping was fast also; in time for a big weekend football game!
Simple and effective OTA solution November 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I WAS using a silver sensor amplified unit and dissatisfied with frequent drop-outs and "1/2 power" signal strength on my OTA tuner. I simply removed the silver sensor and plugged-in the DB4 and I immediately had 100% signal strength on all but one local channel, and that one is 75% and works fine too.
My DB4 is hanging on the wall in my garage facing the general direction of our local towers with 20' of RG6 coax running to the tuner. I'm ~10 miles from the towers in Dayton, OH. Now, I want to move the unit to the attic and see if I can pull-in Cincinnati or Columbus (~50 miles). Bottom line: This unit works as advertised!
