Getting ready for digital television
(5 out of 5) by Mark A. Miller on Jan 31, 2009I purchased this antenna to get ready for the analog to digital transistion as my existing antenna was VHF only and was about 15 years old. The Winegard was easily assembled despite somewhat confusing instructions and appears quite well made. The improvement in my reception was noticible but not earth shattering as I hoped it might be but I am picking up all of the channels that are expected by the various reception guide sites to be available to me and more so I am pleased. I am using it with a Winegard preamplifier as well.

Great Antenna
(5 out of 5) by Susie on Sep 26, 2008 (Texas, USA)We have had this antenna up for about a month. We are in a very rural area and are almost out of the blue fringe area. This antenna brought in analog channels better than we had ever had. With the converter box we get 10 digital channels as clear as our friends get cable. The only problem was trying to figure out how to assemble it. It was very simple after we decided that the brace bar went on top.

Winegard HD8200U Antenna
(5 out of 5) by David Wisniewski on Jun 11, 2009 This was a purchase for our vacation home in the north woods Wisconsin. We had an indoor amplified antenna previously and got 6 fuzzy analog channels and only 3 digital channels with the converter box. After I installed the Winegard , We now get 11 Digital Channels ( with no Amplifier ). Would highly recommend this product.

Amazing
(5 out of 5) by J. L. Kunkel on Apr 25, 2009 (Everett, Wa USA) I used this antenna with the Chromstar 2000 amplifier. I live near Everett, Wa and receive(digital and analog) channels from Vancouver, BC (over 100 miles away). The channels are crystal clear when the antenna is pointed north, but still come in when I point the antenna south. A word of warning, this antenna is huge. Take a look at the dimensions, before deciding where to mount it.

HD antenna
(5 out of 5) by Edwin K. Shelburne on Apr 3, 2009 (Lexington, Ky)The winegard site said if you only want to buy 1 antenna then this is it. I fully agree. Assembly is fairly easy and the reception is fantastic. All my HD channels are great and i am picking up stations from 70-90 miles away. I believe Louisville is about 100+ and get 1 of their stations as well. not as clear but viewable. Highly recommend this antenna.
