giving this a try. It was my 4th attempt at trying to bring in a decent HDef signal. The first 3 more expensive antennas wouldn't get the signal strength past 50 percent and two of those were amplified units. Surprisingly this one passed the grade and I'm now getting 80 percent signal strength on all channels with "no" rotating needed. Once you find the proper direction to point it, all channels are crystal clear and have a strong steady signal. Plus it not being amplified makes it an asset since no power use is required. In my opinion this is the best antenna out there at a very affordable price.
