I actually bought one of their DB4's recently and I can't believe how much betterr my signal is than my old big ChannelMaster. I live 45 miles from the broadcast towers (as the crow flies) and the signal is in the upper 90's on all stations even the VHF low stations it's not supposed to pick up.

just wanted to give an update. I purchased the DB4. I installed it in the attic. Got all the Baltimore stations without a problem. I then added the electroline amp to the mix and got all the DC stations. I eliminated the dc stations because even though with the amp I could get them, the antenna is not pointed in the right direction and every once in awhile I would lose the signal momentarily. I have a 99% signal strength for all my Baltimore stations.

I am very happy with the HDHomerun, the antenna, and HD100. I watched lost last night in HD. Very cool. Was very impressed.

Now the HDPVR will arrive Monday and that will be added to the mix!

So it does pick up VHF somewhat? I've been looking at this for a attic antenna, but passed it off because i need channel 2.

"Do not attempt to install if drunk, pregnant or both."
or both lol??
So if you read some chemical bottle that says dont drink or get in eyes, its ok if you do both because it doesnt say or both?? HAHAHA
Maybe they were just being funny..
