Channel Master's 4228 antenna can receive digital and analog over-the-air TV signals in the UHF band only (over 90% of digital TV signals are in the UHF band). The 4228 is optimized for "deep-fringe" reception of HDTV — it's one of the highest-gain antennas available.
This antenna features a highly directional design that will provide best results when most or all of the desired stations are transmitting from the same location. For clearer reception, pair the 4228 with the 7777 preamplifier — several Crutchfield employees are receiving digital stations from 50+ miles away with this setup. Also, if you'd like to pull in signals from different areas, consider a rotor to aim your antenna in the right direction.
The 4228 is classified as a Large Directional antenna. Its space-efficient design is suitable for roof and attic installations (mast recommended).

The article also includes a brief hands-on review of the 4228.
