A DB8 is not multi-directional. The statement on the web site is implausible: "This DB8 is the ideal antenna for use in locations that can pull long range signals from various directions and offers an attractive alternative to using a directional antenna mounted on a rotator."

According to the posted TVfool report, FOX is hopeless, but because you get it sometimes it should work much better if you add a rotor and a HDP-269 preamp.

You'd probably get PBS from WCBB if you added a real VHF antenna.
