Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of PCT International 4221HD Channel Master Ultratenna HDTV UHF Antenna
Customer Review: Great antenna
Summary: 5 Stars
This particular model is one of several recommended to me by our local PBS station and is a great antenna for its purpose & price (the price is less than some rabbit ear types). Mounted in our attic, local UHF digital TV stations come in very well, even some from as far as 60 miles away. It is fairly directional (as expected), but not a problem for us since most of the channels we care about are all pretty much in the same direction from our home. There are several good web sites that can help show local transmitter locations and predicted signal strengths for specific areas, right down to street addresses.Customer Review: Somewhat overrated.
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this on hype and the sad notion that I would mount this outside. I got it from Polstein's (stay away) and was deterred from mounting it, once I got a load of all the "you can die" sticker warnings. I set it up indoors without a pre amp and got diddly except, KPIX. I know it probably rocks once its in an attic sweet spot or happily on the roof, but I don't see it happening on a widescale in the future with people looking for hdtv from an ota. I found a rocking indoor antenna (RCA ANT706). I recommend finding the indoor antenna that rocks for you.Customer Review: Didn't work as expected
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this antenna after researching zones online. This item was rated for all the zones I needed and I thought I would be able to pick up a minimum of five or six digital stations. I ended up with two analog and two digital. What I failed to factor in was the signal strength stations were using to transmit their signals. Even though this antenna was appropriate for zones and distances to transmission towers, it seems like it is not adequate based on signal strength. If I had better signal strength, I may have been able to give it a higher rating.Customer Review: Channel Master 4221HD - It Works!
Summary: 5 Stars
Very impressed with the ability of this antenna to bring in local OTA signals. Previous $10 rabbit ears placed in attic received 30 (iffy) channels and required A LOT of fine tuning. Channel Master 4221HD - 60 channels in less than 5 minutes of installation and STRONG signals from all but 2 and those were good to very good. All this and all I did was hook up the coaxial cable and prop it up against a joist in the attic directed at my local signals. Seriously, it was that easy. Go to [...] to find the direction that your signal is coming from.Customer Review: Canceled basic cable after installing this antenna
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this antenna and put it in the attic without even really mounting it and have been able to tune 40 digital channels with excellent signal strength. Yesterday I canceled the basic cable TV service that I had. I live in the N. San Jose area and am able to get all of the networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, CW, KICU, TV20) several PBS, a few spanish and some other programming - all in digital TV. Of course, there is still very little HD programming though!!
Shipment was fast from Uncle Joe's through Amazon.
