Well, DTV signals are supposed to be weak and mostly in the UHF band. The UHF grids are about 7 inches diagonally. Didn't work too good for DTV until I put on a salvaged 18db pre-amp. Post-transition, four channels moved back to the old VHF slots, and the 18db pre-amp only helped the UHF channels, I lost the ones that moved back to VHF.

I tried the 36db amp off the QuantumFX, and it worked at pulling all the green zone DTV stations. Low-power stations were too weak to be watchable. So the antenna would still work with a good amplifier. Using an amplifier is probably the best recommendation before replacing an existing antenna, right after replacing old, worn-out cable.
