Reddit reviews Channel Master Digital Advantage Directional Outdoor TV Antenna - 45 Mile Range VHF, UHF and HDTV Aerial - Install Outside or Attic - Preassembled - CM-2016

I get all 6 OTA in perfect quality in Tuscany - didn't even have to put it in the attic, but I finally did, it was ugly in the kitchen pointed at the ceiling, pointed toward COP - and use http://www.tvfool.com/ as someone already pointed out - FYI - there is a dead zone apparently north behind nose hill - I got one of these - https://www.amazon.ca/International-Channel-Master-Television-Antenna/dp/B0018BZJNS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1504552377&sr=8-3&keywords=channel+master+antenna

I put this one in the attic space above my garage. I live in Jordan (south of Shakopee on HWY 169) and receive many channels, most of which I don't need.

Just to be clear, this is for the roof?

Sky

Someone posted pics of what is inside the Sky. From that it looks like it would have significantly less performance than regular rabbit ears. One of the two elements is connected directly to the shield of the cable so that any interference the shield would normally block would end up in the receiver.

Sometimes I think the Mohu stuff is actually some sort of performance art or a test of the ultimate limits of marketing...

1byone with the single VHF-high band element

Rabbit ear performance on VHF-high. Low to medium performance on UHF. Since your VHF-high networks are predicted to be strong this might work for you but you should consider something with more performance.

1byone UHF Yagi

A reasonable looking medium gain UHF band antenna. At least one person has reported good results with these for UHF signals. Unfortunately you have some VHF-high band signals.

Here is a name brand antenna that probably has about the same VHF-high performance as the first 1byone and probably more UHF performance:

  If you are not limited to a small size, why not get something with some VHF-high performance as well?

based on your tvfool you get very strong signals in your location from a tower that is 50miles away! I'm suprised your unable to pull in channels with a simple rabbit ear antenna attached to your tv.

The antenna that you currently have is good for UHF, but not for VHF....and it fakes its gain via a built in amplifier. Obviously, it wont be able to amplify a signal it cant pull in. Some other antennas may not have a built in amplifier, but do a better job of pulling in weak singals.

1. Does the antenna have to be on the roof? If you put it in the attic, than you wont have to deal with weather conditions. I would recommend fixing up your current antenna, stick it in the attic and see what happens.
   
   
2. How many tvs is your antenna feeding? If it is more than 1, than you may need to get an external pre-amp for your new antenna (unless it has an amp built in).
   
   
3. Is size an issue? The current antenna you have is a yaggi which is good for UHF, while LPDA (the big ones) are better for VHF. some may suggest a leaf antenna, but it wont help you pick up VHF-hi
   
   Here are 2 excellent quality VHF-hi/UHF yagii antennas (similar to what you have) in all metal construction. They do not have amplifiers.

   if you are willing to try the DIY route, here are some INDOOR antennas:
   UHF
   VHF
   
   possible OUTDOOR if made correctly:
   UHF/VHF

If you are more suburban, a $35 Channel Master will do fine, and pays for itself in < 1 month.
