Channel Master 4221HD 4-Bay OTA HDTV-Antenna for $49.99

[prettyha8]

The Channel Master 4221HD is a really good OTA UHF outdoor antenna to go with if you live in the GTA.
I have not seen the CM4221HD cheaper then $49.99. These are actual Channel Master antennas and not a Dixie/Matheson clone.

It is the regular price. One of the best Antenna anyways.

what makes this better than a $30 similar-looking antenna I can pick up at a local store?

The reason why the 4221HD is better then the 4228HD is because the 4221HD has a wider field of sense, whereas the 4228 is more forward directional sensing. Thus the 4221HD is good for picking up the CN-tower and buffalo, whereas the 4228HD is more of sharp-shooting buffalo.

The 4221HD outperforms the original Channel Master 4221.

I wonder how this antenna fares in mountainous areas like metro Vancouver?

[Viper98]

anyone in the London area have one of these and can comment on what, if any HD channels come in?

Look here. 40$
It looks like the same but the model number is JS-5089
Is it the same?

i didn't buy that, but if you're going to go with a clone...may I suggest this 30$ plus shipping antenna....

the amplifiers are sold out but the prices are reasonable if not cheap

and http://www.partsforhdtv.com/channel-...778-p-253.html


I bought a DB8, (just add for 20$ of goods and shipping is 6$..(the antenna is 86$ as oppose to 100 and it's the original brand...

i'm in Montreal(near Lasalle),
after installing the DB8 and amplifier(which made a huge difference) at about 10ft high above ground level,
and after scanning, I was able to get radio canada (2.1), CBS(3.1-2), NBC(5.1-2), CBC (6.1), tele-quebec(17.1), PBS vermont(33.1-2-3), PBS plattsbugh(57.1-2-3

I am going to try to put it higher during the summer to try and get ABC and Fox...wish me luck..

Channel Master have been in the antenna business a very long time, I would expect this to hold together/work better.

Anyone seen a CM vs clone comparison?

[laolee]

i am at right under CN tower(concord cityplace
), still can pick up ther signal? a guy at canadian tire said can't.

[maniacshopper]

these antennas are not like a satelite, which needs to be pointed.
Antennas need to be pointed in a general area.

I'm not sure which antenna I have but it looks just like that. I picked it up at CC during boxing week for $39.

No complaints about HD channels.

edit: after looking at some photos, I have 4221HD, not 4228HD.
Mines good enough. I have most of the channels in OTA.

Better yet, build one yourself with coat hangers. Search youtube for this. I did and I'm getting 8 HD channels now.

[ionic]

Anyone know where I can pick something like this up locally in Montreal?

[tsatsa]

For $40-$50 I am not sure it is worth building one yourself. Unless you just enjoy building something.

[sleeepy2]

I built my own and I am getting 20 digital channels with more than half HD.
Used caot hangers and chicken wire
