So I ordered one and installed it today and am somewhat dissapointed with the results. I can't get any watchable analog channels and only 1 digital channel locks on.
Meanwhile the Radio Shack antenna is pulling in about a dozen watchable channels. Obviously I missed something when choosing the 4228 or there's a problem with the antenna. I don't see any signs of damage on the antenna and have mounted it in the same spot that I was previously using for the RS antenna using the same cable and mast mounted pre-amplifier . The RS antenna has been relocated and is still working well even though it's using a cheap amplifier I bought at Wal Mart for $20.
At the moments I have them each on a sperate line. The RS is going into the antenna input on the TV and the CM is going into the digital tuner which connects to the TV via the audio/visual inputs. I've tried connecting the CM directly to the TV but like I said I don't get any watchable analog channels.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks. bob

You need to give us more information. What is your zip code?
Your analog stations are probably VHF and the digitals are probably UHF. The 4228 is primarily a UHF antenna.
