Best UHF reception yet

by

I had tried several good antennas including the HBU-33, HBU-55, and a vintage Channel Master UHF yagi. The HDB91X outperforms them all on UHF bringing in stations from 75 miles away with 100 reliability, stations 90 miles away with some regularity, and stations over 150 miles away during rare conditions. Perhaps most significantly, a station that's just 30 miles away but on the other side of the Blue Ridge Mountains would not come in at all with my old 7' Channel Master the HBU-33 brought it in with signal strength of 45 and the HBU-55 captured it with strength of about 65, both with frequent drop outs. The HDB91X consistently brings it in with signal strength of 85-90 and absolutely no drop outs. (Same mount, preamp and cables used with all antennas I've tried.) Downrating this antenna because it doesn't get VHF is like buying a rooster and complaining because it only lays one or two eggs a week. In fact this antenna does pick up the only VHF channel within 25 miles for me, but I use a separate VHF Hi-Band antenna with a UVSJ combiner from Solid Signal to get the best possible results from both bands. If you don't need the best possible results, the HBU 33 or 55 may be good enough for your situation in a single antenna. My only cons with this antenna are that construction seems a bit flimsy and clunky at the same time, but it has survived a year's worth of ice, snow and high winds here in central VA. Also note that for the weaker more distant stations you do need to be pretty spot on when aiming this antenna. This is to be expected from any high gain antenna and you will need a good quality dependable rotor unless all your stations are in exactly the same direction.

Did exactly what I hoped it would do..

This antenna is the real deal. I live in a hilly river valley and this antenna pulls in every station that is available to me, even a LP station 25 miles away that is highly directional going a different direction. Also picks up my only vhf channel 13 which is 30 miles away. If this antenna works for me I'd think it would work for just about anybody based on the terrain I have to deal with. I would not hesitate to give it a try..

Pro: 60 degree-wide 16dB reception Con: marginal quality

by

My motive for writing this is to help other customers and support SolidSignal's customer satisfaction. The HDB91X has wider reception than many similar-size UHF yagi antennas. Unfortunately, it has marginal-quality construction, inconsistent documentation, and poor assembly instructions [my HDB91X arrived with two elements significantly bent one assembly nut arrived stripped one of the plastic director elements was partly broken the mounting of the director elements is very weak (OK in attic, but not outside) the assembly instructions are inaccurate and incomplete].

What a performer HDB91X I GET STATION 80MILES OUT IN NY CITY AND CT ION STATIONS THAT ARE 65MILES OUT THE ANTENNA IS 80FT HI WITH a cm 7777amp UHF all the way BEST antenna system for the money Ken

The TERRESTRIAL XG91 is the same jazz THE HDB91X THEY BOTH PERFORM VARREY WELL WITH A CM7777AMP ALL CHANNELS DAY OR NIGHT THANKS SOLID SIGNAL KEN

Great antenna , I have had it for 5+ years.

Great antenna , I have had it for 5 + years. I receive stations as far as 90 miles away. The only VHF. Channel is channel 11 which comes in in strong and clear and the broadcast antenna is at least 60 miles away. There are no Vhf channels with the exception of one left . Channel 11.

pulls in 12 channels from over 40 miles with no trouble

by

easily assembled and not cumbersome. I used a channel master preamp on the mast and the combo works just great.

Very Satisfied.

I just built and installed this yesterday. VERY easy to put together!!! Very light in weight. One suggestion: It did not come with lock washers, I purchased my own and put them on. I live in a high wind area and did not want the wing nuts wiggling/coming loose. Reception is pretty good/great, only one major station still breaking up on me a little. (Probably just needs a little tweeking on the alignment.) But a MAJOR improvement to the small indoor flat antenna I did have. Overall VERY satisfied! Hint: You can probably build and install by yourself, but having 2 people is definatly a help.

Light weight, easy to assemble. Best antenna for the price/performance.

I have been installing antennas for five years for my business. This by far is my favorite antenna. 80 to 100 percent signal strength on every channel available. Even the two high VHF channels. It works great.

Great uhf/vhf-hi

by

antenna is better than the 2805 lava with built in amp...the HD91x with no amp works better than the lava I had, it picks up signal 25% more than my lava. The vhf also picks up 75 mile away uhf so far over 150+ miles (Shelby, NC to Charleston, SC) (WTAT 24 Fox) good antenna, worth the price thanks solid signal.....MIKE

this is an excellent antenna. I get rock solid reception and have already made believers to my friends. 65 miles is not a problem at all. I have already sent 3 friends your way.

easy setup
