Excellent UHF/High band VHF antenna -- Small enough to mount indoors Aug 11, 2008
I live in an apartment right in the middle between San Francisco and San Jose, so the significant transmitters are 31 miles away from opposite directions. First I tried the RCA ANT525 AMPLIFIED ANTENNA. It pulled in a lot of channels, but I had to crank up the amplification to the max. The problem is, it amplifies all disturbances too, so signal quality is unstable and varies greatly, for example when somebody moves around the room. This causes a very unpleasant viewing experience, especially with digital TV where picture and sound vanish completely when signal quality drops below a certain threshold.
Next up was the Philips High Performance Amplified Indoor Uhf/Vhf/Fm/HDTV Antenna, which boasts even more amplification. It performed significantly worse than the RCA, probably because I couldn't mount it high on the wall like the RCA.
Next, I ordered the highly recommended Antennas Direct DB2 Multi Directional HDTV Antenna, but cancelled the order after I realized that it's UHF-only. NBC is broadcast on channel 11 around here, and the summer games were one of the reasons why I bought a TV in the first place, so going UHF-only wasn't an option.
Then I found this Channel Master 4220. It claims to work also with high band VHF (channels 7-13 or something like that), so it should work perfectly for NBC. It's also a little smaller than the DB-2, which makes it even easier to use indoors. I just mounted it on the wall with a single nail. It looks a bit raw, but I actually like it, it's like contemporary wall art and goes well with a minimalistic modern interior. It took a while to find the best position, and now I get a solid signal for almost all channels without having to move the antenna. It's passive without amplification, so it doesn't need power and you don't have another cable going through your living room. Highly recommended!

Works great in Orlando Aug 01, 2008
I ordered this antenna online after looking for a smaller alternative to the CM4221. The CM4220-M came with a small satellite type mount (shown in the photo), and the antenna is small enough that it is not "ugly" outside the home.
We are about 15 miles from most of the broadcast towers (whihc are all grouped together) at abour 55 - 65 degrees. I have not mounted it outside yet, but the inside test produced excellent results. We received 45 channels, including channel 11 (VHF Hi) with perfect clarity.
The antenna is definetly directional, but it does seem to pick up some stations off access, but not as well.
