Since I don't even watch analog anymore, I only use a ChannelMaster
CM4228 now. There is no better IMO. And it also picks up the upper vhf
channels good enough for solid locks. I used to use a large VHF only
antenna and rotar mounted about 10ft above the chimney top. I could pick
up stations 200+ miles away, but still couldn't get lower vhf locals
worth crap. Since switching to digital everything is crystal clear and no
station is going to be using the lower VHF here.
