Tv Antennas and Reception

The Winegard HD7084P is a Heavy Duty antenna with thicker stronger metal receiving elements and thicker stronger plastic parts. And the Winegard has a built in removable/replaceable matching transformer in a weather protected housing. The Channel Master antenna has thinner less strong metal receiving elements and thinner less strong plastic parts. The Channel Master does not have a built in matching transformer in a weather protected housing. The Channel Master matching transformer is connected to the antenna as a separate piece and is exposed to the weather. . Mileage ratings of Tv antennas are a rough estamate and are more of marketing tool then actual hard numbers. The gain of a antenna is more important then mileage.
