I agree completely. Not all antenna's are right for all applications, but this expensive antenna is touted as one.
While the vast majority of the broadcast towers in my area are in a tight "V" pattern from my home, there are a few strays off on the periphery. According to the research I've done on this antenna, all the technical reports and ads say that it should have no problem picking up signals up to seventy-five miles away. I first attempted to point one of the arrays directly toward those transmitters which are no more than 40 miles away. No signal. If I swing my ANT751, mounted in the attic, in that direction, I can pick up those stations.
My TV Fool report is irrelevant here. The antenna is currently directed exactly as the report states and I'm getting almost exactly the same reception I got with the 751, which cost $30, mounted in the attic which is, according to most of the experienced posters, not the most beneficial mounting. The DB8e is outside on a 25' mast, clear of trees and pointed across acres of cow pasture.
