I just installed this antenna and to say it is huge is an understatement but as they say size does matter in the HD channel game. I know there are many different antennas out there claiming all kinds of terrific reception and most likely they do work well under ideal circumstances. However if you live in Northwest Los Angeles county where hills, tall trees and other obstacles abound then this is the best antenna for your needs. The antenna is installed on the roof of a two story home on a 6 foot mast. I get every channel that there is where the antenna is on Mount Wilson. I purposely bought this antenna for it's VHF capabilities as I could not pick up channels 7,9,11 and 13 since they are broadcast on high band VHF. While it is time consuming to put this antenna together and install it, it is definately worthwhile. Thw instructions are terrible but if you have ever put together a winegard antenna you will figure it out. When I finished an had my HDTV do a channel scan, it picked up and memorized 74 channels. I live 41 miles from where the HD antenna towers are located as the crow flies with a hill about a half mile away in the direct path of the signals but no problem with this antenna. Due to its size you defibately will nee to install guy wires to your mast if your mast cannot be anchored to something really solid. You will not be disappointed with this antenna in my part of the world.
