Tv Antennas and Reception

Ok very good , Yes the U8000 has extended reception ability in to the VHF high channels of 7 thru 13. Yes the antenna will receive channel 12 through the back side of the antenna. And reception of Tv channels 7 thru 69 can be improved through the back side of the antenna by turning the reflector bars in line with the bars that hold the reflector bars so the V shaped shaped reception elements can receive more signal. It is better to put the 2 way splitter inside out of the weather. The factory specs for the Channel Master Cm4228HD are not hype , it has been retuned (longer V shaped reception elements) for improved reception of VHF high channels. The older CM4482 was also a good receiver of VHF high channels. The new Channel Master antenna has more reflector elements , then the U8000 , that block reception to the rear and are not easly moved or removed. 8 bay panel antennas receive the VHF high channels because the reception elements are a little longer and more reception elements that interact for improved reception of the VHF high channels.
