5 out of 5 stars Now . . . this is a great antenna!   July 17, 2010
D. Astley (Southwest OK USA)
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3CFVWJ4JSAWBX The conversion from analogue to digital was a dirty thing to do to the television viewing public. However, it is a fact now. In the 1980s, one of our neighbors told us that she was getting cable television for only $12 a month and no commercials. How much is satellite dish service or cable now? And there are commercials! We don't know because we have never purchased a monthly subscription, but we do know the price is sky high now . . . and it's every month. Perhaps it's because we grew up in the age of "free" television, but when the digital conversion took place, we went out and got our digital conversion box and bought this antenna. This is a very brief clip showing my husband working with that first antenna. The directions were easy to follow and the antenna was with us for almost a year until the January 2010 ice storm. Unfortunately we did not break over the antenna pole before the storm struck and that first antenna was ruined. However, even ruined, the antenna still brought in television broadcasts from Oklahoma City which is 70 miles away. We replaced that antenna in June 2010, ordering the exact same one from Amazon, (free shipping) and this antenna, like its predecessor, is working well.

This antenna is designed for analog TV signals that are no longer in use. The huge elements are fragile and vulnerable. Why the heck are they still selling this thing!!??

Much better to buy the Winegard HD7698P HDTV High Band VHF-UHF Antenna. This is a DIGITAL antenna, intended for the current TV signals that are being broadcast. It's almost identical to the 8200U, but the elements are now the correct size. It's the best antenna on the market for high-gain needs.

Don't buy the 8200U!! They should quit selling it!!!

This unit helps pull in a very nice signal. My only concern is the size. It is HUGE. I don't think people can really fathom how large it is until you have is assembled and sort of in your hands. I would highly recommend installing some guide wires. It has not seen high winds yet and I plan on adding some very quickly as I think winds will really buffet this thing.

Great signal strength at first but the next day it fell by half. but it was still better than the old antenna.
