Thanks for the explanation! That makes more sense now. Sometimes it hard to make a good recommendation when someone has already purchased an antenna. And of course, the TV Fool report is only a guide and the real test is at the tuner.

First of a lll I would like to thank everyone for helping me cut the cord over a year ago. I used the 42XG aimed to 133 deg magnetic and the RCA ANT-751 aimed to 217 deg magnetic with the EU385CF-1s combiner. There is about 4 ft of separation between the antennas with the 42XG on top at about 25 ft above the ground on my roof. Channels on the RCA are rock solid as are most on the 42XG. On ocassion channel 30 audio gets choppy and the picture will tile. Channel 19 always has slightly choppy audio. While on the roof I notice there is a ridge between me and the station antennas. Is there maybe another antenna that has been developed in the past year that could pull in those stations a bit stronger? Or, would it be prudent to maybe add a 5 ft mast extension and see how that goes?

You can try the 43XG both higher and lower. Antennas with more gain than the 43XG are the 91XG and DB8e.

No, the company's name hasn't changed.

The distributor who supplies our products to HD screwed up all the listings, company name, product names, model numbers, SKUs, etc. We've known about it for months but they haven't gotten around to fixing it and there's nothing we can do about it.
