What is the Forums thoughts about the LAVA HD-2605 Antenna?

It's always best to purchase electronics from a reputable company.

Beware of ridiculous claims of 125-150 mile reception.

I would also NEVER purchase an antenna w/ a built in amp and/ or rotor.

Why do you say that?
What is your reasoning?

1 and 2, are self explanatory.
3. An amp will hurt if you don't need it and these can't be bypassed.
4. These rotors have a terrible reputation for breaking down.

Thank you for the info.
What antenna and rotor do you suggest?

I live in Sacramento and wish to pick up San Francisco and others.

I'm going to dump Direct TV after 20 years.

Well, I think you will get more visibility for your question, here.

Rotors can be a tremendous tool, but may hamper the use of multiple sets and/ or DVR programming. Not to mention channel scanning on some tuners.

Good luck!
