Antennas Direct publishes the performance specifications for their products, and real world experience has proven their numbers to be trustworthy, allowing reliable comparison to competing vendors who also publish performance data in a standardized format.

Regarding the LAVA; the cited review says, "Summary

The HD-2605 Outdoor Antenna from Lava could be a fantastic HDTV antenna if it were better at receiving and holding channels. The rotor is a useful feature, although Lava cannot be a real competitor as an HDTV antenna manufacturer until it makes its products out of sturdier materials." And, "The Verdict

The HD-2605 sounds like a better deal than it really is."

There are a some satisfied owners of LAVA antennas no doubt, but I find the advertising claims sound like hype to me. I've also found more than the usual amount of negative feedback regarding both performance and durability.
