Product Description Intended for people at great distances from the transmitters, the DB8 is a powerful multi-directional HD antenna. In fact, its 15.8dB 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 bow tie 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.
AntennaNovember 24, 2008 I am pleased with the antenna and it works well considering the great distance to the towers which is nearly 70 miles away. Several weaker stations do not pull in the signal as well. Overall I am pleased.
digital TV antenna reviewNovember 16, 2008 I received the antenna really quickly. My only complaint....the instructions were pretty vague....didn't even tell which side of the antenna was the "front". Otherwise---once I "played" with it, I decided it works pretty well. Where I used to get 3 analog channels, now I get 14 digital ones.

Antennas Direct DB8 Multi Directional HDTV AntennaNovember 6, 2008 Antennas Direct DB8 Multi Directional HDTV Antenna
An excellent product choice for medium to long range (30-60+ miles) reception of quality HDtv signals. Relatively easy to assemble, good sensitivity to signal strength optomization and a good 'Antennas Direct' return policy and practice (pay return shipping only). Just the trick for the San Francisco Bay Area reception from Sunnyvale.

4 different compass points!October 13, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
We live approximately 50 miles from all of our transmitters and they are located at 4 different compass points, so we chose this antenna. Go to the Antennas Direct website for complete info on the specs of this antenna. It states it's optimized for the DTV frequencies, also it has high VHF performance which is completely true, we know first hand! After first installing it at roof level, we weren't that satisfied with the reception. We are in somewhat hilly terrain. We then procured a 15' antenna pole, raised our antenna up and viola, we were able to pick up all the promised channels from 4 diff points without having to resort to a directional antenna with a rotor. IMPORTANT: We have an older t.v. set and a few channels were snowy. We thought we needed a booster or amp, but what we found out (after buying several and returning them) was that all we really needed was the digital converter box. Now all of our channels are crystal clear! We are now receiving channels our cable company doesn't offer (like four different PBS channels) Try to go digital before getting an amp. Most all of the channels are already broadcasting in digital. Also, this antenna is picking up our vhf stations very well. We are getting channels 4, 9, 11, 16, 25 and 38. (from 55, 92, 172, 181 degress!) Welcome to the world of FREE t.v.! We went with the J.C.C. Electronics vendor because they had great feedback reports, and we were very happy with the super fast shipping!
