- Named "The Highest Performing Indoor Antennas" from HDTV Primer.
- Receive uncompressed, over-the-air HDTV signals from local affiliates.
- Better HDTV picture than cable or satellite.
- Range: 1-30 Miles
- Great for indoor, outdoor and attic use.
Although the DB2 was originally designed for outdoor use, it has quickly become one of the most popular indoor antennas due to its small size and extraordinary gain. The bowtie design provides strong gain across the entire UHF spectrum and it functions incredibly well in areas where a low profile antenna is required.

| As ham radio operator I deal in antennas and this one is perfect for line of sight reception on all the new digital frequencies. My TV signal strength meter for all UHF frequencies of the new HD TV channels records my location with 98 of 100 signal strength. Easy to put together and install. |

| Best indoor antenna you can get that I can find and is a great price for that. No need to plug it in a plus. I will get all the channels in my area with it either flipped one way or the other. So 4 stars instead of 5 because it's not perfect on every channel without moving it some. This is still a vast improvement over any other indoor antenna on the market. |
| Great Local HD Antenna | 2008-11-18 | 5 / 5 |

| This antenna works great for local digital channels. I'm only abour 10 miles from the towers, so the reception is fantastic - even with it mounted IN the attic! Mounting it outdoors should also get great reception at further distances, but for anything over 20 miles, I'd probably get their larger antenna (same type). The best thing was there was virtually no assembly required with this antenna. It took me less than 10 minutes total to remove my old antenna and install this one. I'm extremely satisfied with this product! |

Better than the Philips HDTV 1 which produces less signal gain. And it is much better than the several other antennas that were advertised as digital tv ready I've tried.
However, the Direct DB1 isn't perfect. It requires repositioning to get all the stations within range. Aluminum foil helps a little. Also, it is ugly. Maybe a low power signal booster will eliminate the foil and reduce the need to reposition it to receive all available stations.
I've mounted mine on a camera tripod near the living room window of my apartment. It's easier to reposition in that location, and it is easier to remember the correct directions for the three times it must be repositioned.
I also use this antenna to receive regular FM and HD radio stations. Few HD radio stations exist here in Medford, Oregon; but I am able to receive what does exist without any change in antenna position. Naturally many more stations will soon start broadcasting in HD.
The higher digital tv definition, and improved radio reception, makes the extra cost and trouble well worth while. |
