I live ~75 miles from the Nashville TV stations in hilly wooded Middle Tennessee country and have had a lot of trouble pulling them in even with an amplifier at the antenna. This antenna pulls them in great even without an amplifier and 100 ft of new RG6 cable on one HDTV (no splitters). Best TV antenna I've ever used. Didn't seem to be as difficult to put up as some say, though it is large and somewhat cumbersone--but big with high gain is what you paid for. Use a solid mount. Well worth the money. The antenna cable terminal is a DC short so an amplifier that couples the DC power via the coax and through the amplifier will not work (check your amp for DC on the input with a Voltmeter). As some amplifiers are DC coupled (as my series stackable 10 dB bullet amps are) I suspect this may be why a few users have had poor results. Instructions could be better and explain things like this. It's a great antenna if you do it right.
