Very good antenna

This is my third Channel Master Advantage 45 antenna and always with excellent results. Each of these times, the antenna was installed in the attic. For the last one, the antenna was intalled in the attic of my two story house NW of Houston about 40 miles away from the broadcasting antennas. I was able to receive all the main channels (CBS, NBC, ABC, PBS, Fox and CW) perfectly well with all subchannels. TV's channel scanning found 144 channels (not all of them relevant), but the bottom line is that all main channels and subchannels came in perfectly well.
I added later on a Wineguard LNA-200 antenna booster, just in case, and there was no real change in the quantity and quality of channels reception. The Advantage 45 alone was enough.
The installation in the attic was easy and straightforward, no issues whatsoever.

Very highly recommended

P.S. To be able to receive a station it should be a signal in the area. No antenna can bring out a station without enough signal strength on the receiving spot.

Works great with trees

Our old antenna worked fine, but as the trees by us got taller the reception began to suffer. The trees are now about 100 feet tall and approximately 100 ft from the antenna. Our antenna is house mounted and about 13 feet above the ground. Stations are around 23 miles away. Reception with the Advantage 45/CM3016 (our new antenna) has been fantastic.

OUTSTANDING Antenna!!
GREAT ANTENNA!!

Absolutely Great Antenna, great reception!! I'm 40 miles from the closest TV towers. I'm getting an Extrodinary amount of channels! 10 times more than when I had Cable TV. Not to mentiion how CLEAR AND BEAUTIFUL the TV picture is, much, much better than Verizon Cable TV! I'm getting channels some 100's of miles away!! I can't say how HAPPY I am for Finally getting Rid of my Cable TV!
I have to give Kudos to "AntennaMan" for recommending this Antenna.
My only complaint is that when you go to the Channel Master Advantage 45, there's another Link for ""Recommended Alternative: Pro-Model Antenna"". The Reviews on Amazon and "AntennaMan" state that the Pro-Model is NOT as good as the Advantage 45.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Quality antenna provides good value

I selected the Advantage 45 because our market's broadcasters' transmitters are within 2 degrees of azimuth and only 22 miles distant. I also purchased an Attic Antenna Mount since I would be installing it in my attic. Easy to open, mount, and align. I would be more than willing to mount outdoors (except for the hassle from our HOA) based on its quality construction. There is approximately 40 feet of cable between the antenna and my TV. I scanned for channels and it detected 98. I flipped through them all. Crystal clear picture and signal strength over 90%. I would recommend this Antenna and other Advantage models based on their quality construction and good value.

Better than expect

I have to say I am picking more channels at better quality than I expected. The antenna is large. Good build quality easy to assemble. And despite the large size was fairly easy to get into the attic. Definitely recommend.
