Brian,

Your points are well taken.

I know when I recommend an antenna I don't just say "DB8e" by default. Our members are aware of the appropriate situations for antennas and do our best to give you the best fit for your situation as we see it. If you got a DB8e recommendation someone felt based your TVfool map was a good application.

Sometimes TVfool reports have better real world performance, sometimes worse than the map suggested and the are factors the mapping system cannot account for.

Without your specific TVfool map, we can't see the reasoning that lead to a DB8e being recommended. There was a reason a DB8e was recommended. Being able to understand not only will benefit us, but benefit you as to why this suggestion was made and we can all learn from it.

I understand your frustration at spending money for a DB8e and not getting a tangible benefit from it. At the end of the day we do our best to suggest systems that'll yield satisfactory reception.

Regards,
Stephanie
