Channel Master CM-4221 UHF and HDTV Antenna

I am impressed with the range of this antenna. Fast free shipping also.
This antenna has shown me the best combination of range and multi-directionality.
After installing and figuring out how to run the coax into the house, we were pleasantly treated with HD channels.
This is an AWESOME antenna. I put it in my attic and get all the local channels without a booster. All HD also.
Love it, installed in Parents attic and get 60 plus HD channels that are clear as a bell.

Channel Master CM-4228HD High VHF, UHF and HDTV Antenna

Excellent. I cannot comment on the range, listed as '80 miles' because I am only 30 miles away from the nearest television antenna transmission cluster. But it's work amazing.
Great antenna! Pulls in UHF as well as Hi-VHF frequencies which was perfect for my location.
The 80 mile range is a joke. I am less than 35 miles from most of the main towers. Overall signal dropped 25% instead of improving.
Despite the claim of 80 mile range I was only able to get stations 50 miles out and could not get a VHF station that was 25 miles out.
This Channel Master CM4228HD failed to perform as well as the smaller and cheaper Mediasonic. I expected an antenna with 75 mile range, to perform as well or better.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Channel Master CM-4221 UHF and HDTV Antenna

This antenna works as advertised and is very small and compact. Highly recommended.
This just the antenna I needed for an attic installation. It is well built and sturdy, compact enough to get into the attic access and very easy to set up.
The compact design makes it easy to orient with the rotator. Highly recommended!
Pulls in networks like no other antenna I have used before. Great compact design.
I was looking for a small UHF antenna for portable use when camping, and this antenna seemed to fit the bill.

Channel Master CM-4228HD High VHF, UHF and HDTV Antenna

Small size and light weight. Live 80 miles from nearest station outperforms channel master ultra high digital cross fire.
Weight, size, assembly all great for handyman. Installed unit in our attic. Allowed us to cut the cable. Very pleased.
Compact size makes it a perfect fit for the attic. Matched it with Channel Master's DVR+.
It is light weight. It was easy to assemble. I mounted it to a 6 foot high pole in the ground.
Very light weight and flimsy, but actually well made. Works great with a channel master rotater and a Winegard pre-amp.

What customers say about "Features"

Channel Master CM-4221 UHF and HDTV Antenna

This antenna replaced an omnidirectional one which was hit and miss with the weather.
The antenna arrived in a good solid box and was simple to assemble, two wing nuts and pretty good quality.
It was simple to install and we are very happy with the clear quality of the few basic channels we watch.
On a windy day or bad weather it cuts out a lot but on a calm day most channels come in perfectly.
Its quality seemed average; nothing special, and I am sure it would last as well as the many others on the market.

Channel Master CM-4228HD High VHF, UHF and HDTV Antenna

The antenna pulls in more stations than the previous 2 without any signal amplification. Does a great job.
I get 39 channels and am running it to 3 different TV's with NO amplification needed. Great antenna for my area.
I picked this up because it reception up to 80 miles and I needed a more wind resistant antenna than the Winegard HD7698P I had since I live in a hurricane prone area.
The Channel Master appears to be a very good weather resistant antenna.
Their amplification circuit is questionable at best, and their mast rotation function is not indexed, so you have to guess where it is pointing.
