Thought I would necro my own thread back up - we did decide to try a Winegard HD-8200u antenna to see if anything would improve, as we were still getting poor reception when the leaves dropped off the trees - mostly poor on VHF.

With the 8200u we are getting AWESOME max signal on all VHF stations, but terrible reception on UHF, pretty much all stations.

Full disclosure, the box from Amazon was pretty banged up on arrival but everything seemed ok with only minor re-bending. The main circuit board box had bent connectors, but they also bent back easily and appear to make good contact. I had no say in keeping this item, as it was given to me for Xmas so I didn't see it until Santa brought it in. :P

We've aimed and reaimed but doesn't seem to help. Is it defective? I'd hate to try and send this massive thing back! :P Any possibility we put something together wrong (common idiot install errors?)..
