Channel Master 4221HD 4-Bay OTA HDTV-Antenna for $49.99
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. 1) Sensuz is selling the CM4221HD for $49.99 online or $54.99 UPS-store local pick-up. (http://www.sensuz.com/estore/catalog...roducts_id=313 ) (No local pickup fees if order > $100) 2) SaveAndReplay is selling the CM4221HD for $54.99 online or $54.99 in-store local pick-up. (http://overtheair.saveandreplay.com/...ter_4221HD.asp) Save $5 when you are a DHC member, Link 3) Angel Electronics is selling the CM4221HD for $55 in-store local pick-up. (http://www.angelelectronics.ca/ota_over_the_air) Save $5 when you mention RFD, Link Last edited by prettyha8; Apr 28th, 2009 at 06:11 PM.. Reason: new prices |

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.
http://www.hdtvprimer.com/ANTENNAS/cm4221.html vs. http://www.hdtvprimer.com/ANTENNAS/cm4228.html The 4221HD outperforms the original Channel Master 4221. http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/show...00&postcount=2 Also, please read dandaling's post about an authentic Channel Master vs. a $30 clone. http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/show...0&postcount=10 Some of the Channel Master clone companies are: -DigiWave & Digiwave Technologies -EagleStar -MagicStar -Antra (?)

i didn't buy that, but if you're going to go with a clone...may I suggest this 30$ plus shipping antenna....
http://www.partsforhdtv.com/hdtv-ant...new-p-180.html the amplifiers are sold out but the prices are reasonable if not cheap http://www.partsforhdtv.com/channel-...777-p-336.html 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... http://www.infonec.com/site/main.php...tail&id=410487 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?

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.
