Anthem Arizona. 40 miles from South Mountain towers. All my locals are broadcast from the same direction. This antenna replaced a GE Yagi from Walmart that was pulling in 52 channels, many I would lose at night or bad weather or other random reasons. This one pulls in 77 channels. Although about 10 are digitalized and not watchable but all of those are shopping channels in the 20s and Spanish channels in the 40s. None of which I care about. Those channels may be broadcasting weak signals. All others are strong signals with 1080i (ATSC 3.0) better HD picture than the Yagi had. The antenna was mostly fully assembled. Just pulled out the arms and attached the coax connection with the wing nuts to combine the UHF and VHF arms. All parts were in the box. It's mounted outside on a one story house. Luckily there are no two stories or mountains in my way. Still I cannot see South Mountain from my roof. I'm using a Fire TV Recast for DVR and still get a weak signal indication on some channels but it doesn't look weak at all to me. I have not lost any signal yet while watching TV. I put it up by myself without a problem. I bought a replacement mount and pipe from channel master also. Much more secure than the last one. I believe this rig will withstand our monsoon storms and the intense Sun for many years. I put this antenna up two weeks ago. I would definitely recommend this antenna and would buy again. I paid Antenna Man on You Tube $20 to analyze my location and he told me to get the larger one 2032 but I went with the cheaper smaller since I am only 40 miles away and I am very happy with it.

We live in northern San Diego County and up to now have relied on Cox for our TV service, but the cost increases by leaps and bounds each year - SO - decided to make a change. Bought this Channel Master, installed it on our roof (regular height, no extension) and it is providing us with the San Diego network and local stations, including PBS. It has a wide spread of signal capture and is doing a wonderful job. Have purchased, for a small amount each month, extra streaming channels to supplement our viewing. Have saved $150/month by doing this. Highly recommend this antenna; easily installed and, so far, working like a champ

I've been without pay TV since 2001. In 2009 I set up a small "stealth" antenna and have been happy for the last ten years. Then the FCC decided to auction spectrum and repack. I have two must-have local stations that are part of just a handful in the country than went to low VHF--meaning I now needed one of those massive 1950s Sputnik-tracking things on my roof. (For those in the Los Angeles region, those stations are KVCR PBS and KBEH "Retro TV".)

I tried a Channel master 8-bay square antenna. No luck. I tried a Winegard HD7000 and updated my cable to copper-shielded RG6. This got me so very close, but still there was some pixelation due to my plasma TV interfering with its own reception.

I decided to try this 3016 45-mile antenna, hoping that the small VHF gain advantage over the Winegard would do the trick. And it did. No new TV needed; and definitely no pay TV needed.

We don't have a ton of stations here in Kansas City, but the ones we do have come in clear and much sharper then they did when we viewed them on cable. Even our analog TVs look sharper. We hung this in the attic and hooked it up to the existing coax network running throughout the house and now every TV has access to this signal from this antenna. We've cut cable and are saving over $100 per month because of this purchase.

Update: Well, it's been about 1.5 years since we "cut the cord" The antenna is doing a spectacular job. We have a new HDTV and the picture is a sharp as you can possibly imagine. I highly recommend this antenna if you do decide to tell the cable company to get lost.

When I was a kid, we had a Channel Master TV antenna in our attic from the 60's onward to receive stations 40 miles away. It never gave any trouble and is still sitting in that old attic, so I bought this, which is pretty much the same antenna. An antenna is an antenna, HD or not, and they have not changed the laws of physics since those days. Like all antennas, put it up as high and in the clear as possible for best results. We are 35 miles from the nearest transmission tower and receive everything from there without problems. I did add an RCA preamp as there are a few channels which are not line of site which were dropping out periodically. Technically I should not be able to receive those at all, so this is impressive in itself. We receive over 60 HD subchannels and between OTA TV and streaming, we cut our cable and save about $1000/year.
