"I spent too much time researching antenna's and asked the experts from lots of forums for advice. I purchased a CM4221 and here are my findings.
1. Very good UHF reception. My local high definition is stunning.
2. Good VHF reception.
3. Excellent antenna to buy if you don't want to invest in a rotor.
4. It has a wide reception angle and has good reception from its back lobes (can see good in the opposite direction it is pointed). I live in 48239 zip and have major Detroit stations less than 10 miles away. The Detroit stations are from 356 to 60 degrees in direction. I pointed the antenna at about 30 degrees and received all the Detroit stations at 90% to 100%. The great part (why I bought this antenna) is that I received the Toledo stations 50 miles south (187 degree's) and Canadian CBET channel 9 13.3 miles at 113 degrees south with decent reception. I started with the antenna pointed south (180 degrees) but one Detroit station (channel 7) was weak."

"I had bought 2 antennas previously based on recommendations from antennaweb and radio shack associates and they were both disappointments. For $100 and $60 respectively I could only get a few channels of HD programming after a lot of adjusting which involved many trips to the roof and back.
I read rgifford's review on Amazon and shared the frustration with getting an OTA HD signal, so I decided to give this antenna a try and I am very pleased with it (thanks rgifford!!). I live in Brooklyn, so I pointed the antenna at the empire state building, came downstairs and did an auto scan on my tv's HD tuner. It came up with 38 channels!! Granted, about half of them are public access and local bulletins, but I have ALL of the network channels in HD, a couple Spanish channels (HD soccer!), and some random music, cooking and travel channels. For $30 I couldn't have asked for more.
The antenna itself is relative small, much smaller than any of the previous antennas I had bought, and light. It didn't require any assembly and took about 5 minutes to install with just an adjustable wrench. If you have been having trouble getting local HD channels, especially if you live in NYC I strongly recommend this antenna!"

"I initially made the mistake of thinking all expensive antennas were created equal. Needless to say, my first antenna was a $100 purchase that worked no better than my old rabbit ears.
I then made the decission to "step up" and purchased a Radio Shack antenna from the "electronic experts". It was touted as an attic antenna but was really too cumbersome for the attic and again provided no more value than my rabbit ears.
Fed up with making returns, and noticing that being in a hurry was costing me time, I finally decided to do some research. After much reading, I decided the 4221 based on its rating was going to be the right thing. I have it installed in my attic and could not be happier. It is a very manageable size and most importantly, it brings in all the channels flawlessly! After the two previous failures I could not be more thrilled. Price is not the key. It was cheaper than the two previous attempts by about half the cost. . . And the best news. It works!
You will want to check on the requirements for your area. A midrange UHF was perscribed as the right thing based on broadcast signals in my area. One also needs to ensure the antenna is pointed in the right direction. Most high gain antennas are directional as is the 4221. If you are looking for a midrange UHF, look no further. "
