[QUOTE=&quot;Fringe Reception, post: 52623, member: 4739&quot;]Gary,Take a look at this page: <a href="http://www.hdtvprimer.com/ANTENNAS/TemporaryPage.html">Temporary page</a>&nbsp; It shows performance comparisons between different UHF antennas and the old-style 4228 (I use one) is an excellent choice for you to receive channels 27, 36 and 50, and its not bad for your channels 15 and 21.Considering your channel 15 is only about 3-4db down from the antenna's peak gain, and the insertion of any device will cost you at least 3.5db, I don't see a reason to use any sort of antenna tuner with your 4228.&nbsp; Perhaps someone else here can respond about VHF and the use of some sort of antenna tuner. To receive VHF 5,8, and 10 on one antenna, you will probably need an old-style low/high VHF Yagi and they can often be found free on Craigslist.If you posted a hot-link to your <a href="http://www.tvfool.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&amp;Itemid=29">TV Fool</a> report here, it would be far easier for us to diagnose your situation and make better suggestions.Jim[/QUOTE]
