And generally speaking, if you are interested only in channels 7 and up and all come from the same general direction, there is no better antenna choice, considering the plots and charts on hdtvprimer.com, than the 4228.

I guess it depends on what "same general direction" is? The DB8 has a wider beam width (4 degrees on average and as much as 7 degrees) on the primer charts. Would that not be a help if all the stations were a little more spread out? The DB8 has a split screen which means it does not work as well at VHF frequencies, but doesn't that mean you could have even more flexibility in how you set it up to make it even a wider beam width?

Just curious.
