EXTREMEtenna 80

Received the CM80 on Monday and I stalled it the same evening. I line of sighted the CM80, cinched everything down tight and ran a channel scan. I got 100 DTV, 8 NEXTGENTV and 412 Samsung channels. I'd say that was pretty good as our previous antenna (knocked out by hurricane Helene) only got a fraction of those channels and all NO INFORMATION channels come in crystal clear. Our old antenna was impacted by rain and wind especially, which we haven't experienced since installing the CM80. But we are hopeful.

Mounted this in our attic. We live about 20 miles west of Chicago and we picked up over 130 channels - some from as far away as Indiana!

I tried two other antennas and could not get a few local channels, they would pixilated, unwatchable. I even tried two different pre-amps which didn't help.
I finally looked for an antenna with great gain, and better coverage (180 degree coverage).
This was my choice.
It works great, I pull in over 80 channels now.
I did use a CM 7779 pre-amp at high-gain, 30 db, with antenna on the roof.

Cut the cord years ago and have never been able to get over 30 channels on one side of the house with large trees until now. Seems to be handling the Tropical Storm sustained winds so far today as well. Channel Master pricing better than Amazon too! It's a win win.

I came from previously using the Clearstream 4Max antenna and let me tell you about the ChannelMaster I replaced it with. I previously had 40 channels, of which I only received 2 of the 6 main networks (Fox & ABC). With the antenna swap, I am able to now get CBS, ABC and an additional 20 channels (75 total) including NBC (weak but maybe NextGen might help), which is known to be virtually impossible to receive in my area due to lots of hills and trees. In the Seattle area, even being 20 miles from the towers can seem like a piece of cake for every other brand but they have all failed. The Extreme80 antenna was the only one that took on the challenge and won!

This is definitely worth getting if you want an OTA and if you are in my area, even though it doesn’t list the channel, like it said for me, it proved anything is possible. For other systems, what you see is what you get. For this channelmaster antenna, what you see is what you get….plus a lot of extras you didn’t know about!

I combined this with the amplifier and am able to receive consistent 3-4 bars of signal on most channels.
