Is this a dual UHF/VHF antenna? I have had bad luck with these types of antenna not getting the VHF signals.

I have no problem receiving VHF or UHF signals. I have the SKY mounted in the attic and do get digitalbreak up, depending on weather conditions. I am about 20 miles from broadcast stations in the Detroit area.

Yes it is. I receive channels 2 through 48 including sub-channels such as 8.2, 45.2, etc. You may have to play with where you position it unless it is outside. I use mine in the attic.

Yes it's dual band; just like the leaf, The mohu skyhdtv does receive VHF or Hi-V stations. I believe it is optimized for UHF stations, which comprises about 95% of the tv stations today. It also depends what location your at. :)

I'm using it as an ATSC (HD digital signal antenna). From what I can see when I do a channel scan, I get no VHF/UHF signals. Then again, that may be because there are no broadcasters in my area that still broadcast VHF/UHF.

Yes this is a non-directional AMPLIFIED tv antenna that picks up both VHF and UHF television signals. If you are not getting many signals with this antenna try relocating it as high up as possible in your house (on the roof or in the attic). Mohu customer service is also a good help in maximizing your antenna's performance.

Based on the 44 channels I'm picking up from my location in Central Florida, I would say yes. The VHF band runs from 2-6 (low) & 14-69 (high) and the UHF band is 7-13. I'm getting channels 2, 6, 9, 15, 18, 24, 26, 27, 35, 43-55, 65, 68.

The Sky attic/rooftop unit can receive signals from 60 miles for UHF and 45 miles for VHF channels with a clear line of sight. If you email support@gomohu.com we can do a free signal strength for you and tell you what you can expect at your location.

This antenna will -not- work very well at all for AM/FM... size is the key... Shorter antenna beams (the wires forming the "bow tie") indicate higher frequencies.This is a UHF antenna (around 470 to 800 MHz), whereas FM is between VHF channels 6 and 7 (88 to 110 MHz) and AM is on the order of a megaHertz (0.59 MHz to 1.6 MHz).This antenna's beams are about 1/6th the length you'd want for FM, and about 1/500th the length you'd want for AM.For FM you could try a cheap set of TV rabbit ears (or two 30-inch pieces of bare wire).

Two things. The broad face of the antenna "black rounded side" needs to point in the direction of the transmitters. Second point, this antenna is only UHF. You should look to pair with the ClearStream5 which is VHF. Connect both antenna to a signal combiner using the same length of cable....saw 4' for each to avoid ghosting. From the signal combiner, pass through a good preamp if needed, then on to your TV's. You'll know if you need an amp based on the signal strength indicator shown on newer TV's. Another way to know is that the picture is blocky and pixelated. I think in total I spent $280 for the two antenna...two mounting poles, cables and preamp. Cutting cable saved me $1400 the first year alone, so well worth the investment to do it right the first time.

In the info on the Amazon product posting, it does clearly say "Receives Crystal Clear UHF HDTV Signals." Since it doesn't mention VHF, you should assume that it's intended for UHF and not VHF. That said, it is possible to pick up stations in the upper VHF band with this antenna. For instance, I use it to pick up a station broadcasting on real channel 11 that's about 40 miles away. Signals in upper VHF (10 & 11) can be picked up, but they aren't as strong as the UHF stations.

antennas direct website is now selling an add on for uhf antennas to receive vhf. it's the part that's on the clearstream 2v and I receive channel 6 from 42 miles away with the clearstream 2

When you purchase an antenna, make sure it's able to pick up both UHF and VHF. You may also choose to buy two separate antennas but that depends on your distance from the stations in your area. I got an antenna made by Antennas Direct and it works as advertised (and maybe just a little bit better than that). I have the Antennas Direct C2-V-CJM ClearStream 2-V Long Range UHF/VHF Indoor/Outdoor DTV Antenna with 20-Inch Mount. I'm about 35 miles from all of the stations and am very happy with this converter box. It's low priced and works.

it will not pick up VHF channels with a tower within 2 miles of my home and no tall buildings, seems to work for UHF. but if you want both buy something else!

I was unable to pull any VHF stations (ch 2-13) with just the DB4e, despite being only about 10 miles away from the nearest tower. Once I added the Antennas Direct VHF diplole antenna (which plugs right into this antenna), I got them all clearly. I think it cost about $20 and mounted right on the same mast.

This is a UHF antenna only . Most of the signals today are UHF . Go to TV Fool .com , to check your area.

If you are actually talking channels 2 or 6, which are VHF frequencies and not Virtual channels like 2.1 or 6.1, then you need a VHF antenna. This is a UHF, not a VHF antenna. In the future all TV will be in the UHF range which this antenna picks up.

I can only speak for UHF/VHF reception aerial antenna. We have 3 TVs running off a one main line that is then split for the 3 TVs. Before installing the Phillips booster onto the main line, all 3 TVs got a different number of channels. Now they are all receiving the same number of channels. All channels NOW have excellent quality.

Yes Section 5 of the users manual says "Can this antenna work with Analogue transmissions? Yes, this antenna can receive analogue television broadcasts in the UHF and VHF bandwidths."

The only VHF station in this area is on Channel 3 and it comes in fine. However, I'm told that it is actually broadcasting in the UHF band somehow. I've not used the antenna with FM.

This is a UHF antenna only. I returned it and got a different one. I could not pick up any UHF channels.

according to the mfg,"max gain uhf 10.4 dBi, vhf 3.1 dBi." You can also contact Antennas Direct: their customer service is quite good.

Upon close examination of this antenna prior to installing it, I can attest that its quality-of-construction and design is poor, in almost every regard. Also, its two, "U"-shaped "vhf" elements had VERY poor means of direct-contact to the internal circuitry, such that any small amount of "weathering" and corrosion around those contact points WOULD cause them to lose connection the the antenna's internal circuit-board. Such WOULD likely result in much poorer reception of many channels once-well-received. (I would NOT try to purchase another of this model antenna...you will probably, again, entail similar problems shortly with the new.)
