HD Stacker antenna Reviews and Comments
Above: A perfect example of an HD Stacker antenna,
preamplifier and Eave Mount installation. Great job Bill.
Dennis,
I started trouble shooting from the back of the TV to the antenna using the DC voltage as an aid as you suggested and found a bad fitting at the wall plate *(center conductor was too short for contact). The rest of the installation checked out perfect and I now get a perfect picture, and am the envy of my neighbors because I get 4 more channels than they do and the picture is perfect! Thanks for a great product but more importantly your customer service. I have included two new pictures of my installation that you can be proud to share. I have two neighbors who are going to buy your antenna come spring (they are snow birds and leaving for Arizona) lucky dogs.
Thanks again, and thanks for making my installation successful.
Sincerely,
Bill __________

*Center conductor is the center copper wire of the coax cable.

I just wanted to write and let you know how satisfied I am with the new HD Stacker Antenna that I purchased from you. I live just about 60 miles N/W of Indianapolis, IN and I am picking up the TV stations from the South side of Indianapolis. I was using a big old flat head antenna on a tower and I am now seeing 4 TV stations I had never seen before.
I had a Winegard AP8275 signal amplifier on hand and put it on the system. I actually had to remove it because it was overwhelming my distribution system to my TV''s. With no amplifier and only using the HD Stacker antenna itself, I have crystal clear TV in all locations at my place in the country.
I am so pleased I researched all of this out and found that Denny was correct, it is the best HD antenna out there and he deserves the bragging rights!

Very Pleased Customer.

Jeff's HD Stacker TV Antenna Installation. Looks Good!!!
Denny Duplessis and Family,
On Staurday March 24th I ordered your HD Stacker antenna, 5 foot tripod, mast and Winegard preamp. All received on Thursday the 29th.
I installed the antenna on Staurday, after hooking it up to Magnavox DTV converter and running a channel scan, we were receiving all of the main Twin Cities stations. Now with one of the stations we had a signal meter reading showing 44%. My wife at said at this point something about how well the picture was. Then I said that I haven't even plugged the pre-amp in yet! Needless to say all the main channels are in the 80 - 90% reange, even the low poered stations are coming in great. As a bonus I was picking up stations in Austin and Rochester, MN. and also from LaCrosse WI. (they are very weak and weather is what helped get these to even show up). But still, picking up stations 150 miles with the antenna not even pointed at southern MN!
I would like to say thanks for all of the helpful information and your honesty in not over exaggerating your products. It's nice to have something perform better then claimed, and that's exactly what I'm seeing here.
Thanks again,
Jeff B.

Purchased your HD Stacker ariel last month. I had it professionally installed. The installer at first was skeptical of its performance because of its small size. I assured him that it was highly recommended.
After installation he was amazed that I received 67 over the air channels, 13 more than with the Winegard antenna. He said it was the best picture he had ever seen from an over the air antenna in his 45
years of TV antenna service. I live 40 miles or so from Phila Pa and have a 46 inch Samsung Smart TV. Just thought you'd like to hear my
input.

Hello Denny, Rhonda, Tony, Jeff, and Andy....My name is Dominic and live in Fairfield, Connecticut.
I just purchased your HD Stacker Antenna and wish to say THANK YOU for a quality product....I have just
finished the install and cannot believe the number of channels received in my neck of the woods. I am able to pick-up over 40-channels crystal clear and with previous antennas I was lucky to get 8-10 channels.
>
I am a very technical type of guy and when assembling the HD Stacker found myself very impressed on its
quality and overall design...knowing tyhat your product is also Made in the USA reflects the great job on the
products that you provide and once again all I can say is THANK YOU!

On a separate note your web page is one of the best that I have come across...dedication to detail is beyound words !!!!!

Dominic's HD Stacker antenna...Nice Job
Dear Denny I wanted to thank you for the great antenna . This summer I got a HD Stacker from you and a channel master roter. Well I had it on the ground on a pipe, well this weekend I got my 32 feet tower up with the HD Stacker on it, I have the 8700 amp on it , I'm happy to say that I'm getting 28 channels in York PA. Some of the surprises are stations coming from a far, are WCAU in PHILLI 78 miles away, Baltimore WJZ, WBAL 43 miles away WI4FDF-D Elliotsburg PA 44 miles away, WHAG Hagerstown MD 70 miles away,and WJAL in Hagerstown too 67 miles , But the best one that was weak but could see it for a little while was WWPX in Martinsburg WV 80 miles away, WOW FANTASTIC ANTENNA your HD Stacker. I would like to send you a picture maybe later. I hope you can use this as a testimonial for you antenna . I may be sending a few other folks your way to get the same antenna.

I wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the performance of the HD Stacker antenna and with the service we received from your company. The antenna and peripherals were well packed, they arrived very quickly and the installation instructions made the process go quite smoothly.
>
The antenna is performing better than we had ever thought possible. We are in a fringe area and we are getting 23 channels as clear as a bell (with no rotor). I may add a rotor at some point because we are picking up some distant signals from off of the back of the antenna as well.
>
We have kept our high-speed Internet service with Comcast, went with Vonage for our telephone service, and use a Tivo as our DVR. We have Netflix streaming and Hulu+ (integrated through the Tivo) and we are
saving nearly $70/month with better quality, a nicer GUI, and more content than we had before.

Kudos to you for the excellent products and services you provide and for the exceptionally informative web site.

Hi Denny,
I just got my HDStacker up and running with a Channel Master 7777 signal booster. No rotor. I mention that because... when I scanned my TV for channels it received one channel over 80 miles over away on the back side of the antenna. It is in black and white not the best reception. The audio is good. Now that's not bad for something that isn't expected to be there. It's channel 51 out of LaCrosse Wis. which is S/W of my location. I have the HD stacker pointing N/N/E.
Other wise, it is picking up 14 channels from the direction I have it pointing. The furthest being Rhinelander about 85 miles away. the Antenna is up in the air about 40 feet. And 125 feet of Coax to the house. Excellent Antenna. Excellent reception. (Picture of Stacker Attached.)

Dear Folks,
The cord has been cut. TV is now free... as it should be :-)
The stacker antenna is installed. I'm getting more stations than I should as I did not use a rotor. HD quality is great with OTA signals.
Your website and the printed installation instructions made it easy.

Matt's HD Stacker Installation
It took a while but just before the Canadian market switched to digital we upped the tower with our new HD Stacker complete with rotor and signal amplifier. Plugged it all in and presto-changowe have more than a dozen channels all with great reception.
Oddly enough when we called to cancel satellite they stated that we wouldn't receive any signal after the conversion to digital (September 1st 2011 up here. I tried to explain how over-the -air reception would still be possible but I could not make my point-either the customer service people truly believe that OTA reception is not possible or they deliberately mislead customers?
Anyway the system works great and the installation instructions on your website helped with some of the details. Thanks for your patience and help.
Cheers,

John's HD Stacker Installation
Hi Denny,
Very happy with the HD Stacker. Picking up Canadian DTVchannels 75+ miles away. Detroit and Buffalo also. Improved local reception too. 30 feet from the ground with a Winegard distribution amp. feeding 3 TV's per your suggestion.
Thanks again,
John,

Hi Rhonda,
We received the antenna and pre-amplifier yesterday and today we installed it. When everything worked as Denny said it would, my husband John said, "well, it looks like the blind hog finally found an acorn", one of his favorite quotes when something goes right.
We positioned the antenna small end toward the East as Denny instructed and re-scanned the TV stations and was able to get all major networks and a lot more stations, in all we got 17. We won't know how to act since we have not had any real TV in over two years since we moved from Austin Texas. Now I can cancel Netflix script since I had to rent our TV shows from them & they were last years shows anyway.
Please extend our thanks to Denny... he really knows his stuff + we are going to promote you guys to folks around here since a lot of people hate the high cost of cable and satellite. Please send me some business cards. We're keeping the one you enclosed for our own use in case we ever need anything again.
Thanks again, you guys are life savers to an old retired couple.

Hi from Buffalo, NY
Last may I bought the stacker HD antenna and it is working out great. I can receive the stations from Toronto I wanted and I didn't even have to mount the antenna very high from the roof. Thank you for making an antenna that really works!!!

Hi Denny,I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with this wonderful antenna. I purchased one of those Chinese (guaranteed 150 miles) antennas to replace my old very large antenna. The size and range attracted me. OK I learned my lesson. I am a 72 year young woman who assembled this antenna in my kitchen and with the help (muscles) of my grandson put it on the existing mast. When I scanned after positioning the rotor I was shocked to get 60 channels. The chinesething got 14. My old large antenna did better than the Chinese thing (which is now in the garbage) Channels which had been foggy withmy very old large antenna became crystal clear. I am so delighted with this antenna HD stacker. LOVE IT!
Dear Rhonda and Denny,
My antenna is up and running. It's awesome! You're awesome, I love it. I have never paid for TV and now that I have the antenna my cable addicted friends are jealious.
I'm so cool... )
I live outside of Rochester by Lake Ontario and so far I get Rochester, Buffalo, Ontario and Toronto... I bought the indoor rotatory thing (Channel Master 9521A Rotor) and these are just the directionjs I have checked. I pick up about 16 channels at each of these headings which includes, of course free HD. My brother in law did all of the installation and did a beautiful job. I will be passing out your web address and am 100% satisfied. Denny's a genius.
Thanks-
Sincerely
Kris

I recently purchased an HD Stacker from you. (back in June) I just now have gotten around to getting it installed and it has far surpassed my expectations. Just wanted to thank you for all your help and assistance. Thanks Again.

Hi,
I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my HD Stacker Antenna. I live in an area where I am no supposed to be able to pull in any signals at all due to the distance and terrain. I am now receiving channels 2-13 and many higher channels which includes PBS channels. I was able to install a short 3 foot mast on top of my 2 story home and just point the antenna in the general direction of the transmitting towers located approximately 110 miles away. I do have signal amplified mounted on the mast and most of my channels are showing signal strength between 75% and 85% and 100% signal quality. I have cancelled my subscriptionto Direct TV and I am now saving $100 per month.
Thanks again for offering this great product.
Sincerely,

Hey Denny,
Just wanted to thank you for a great product, and fast service. I ordered your HD Stacker on Saturday the 25th, & received it on the 29th. My wife & I had it assembled, mounted, & watching TV in about 2 hours. We live 45 to 60 miles from Evansville, IN. We're getting good strong signals from both VHF, & UHF stations. Here's a picture of the antenna.
Greetings from Georgia,
Denny and Rhonda,

I received my new antenna and pre-amp (HD stacker and Winegard AP-8780) on 16 June. I installed everything the next day. I've waited this long to contact you so I could give you an honest opinion as to how my new stuff works vs. my old stuff (we've been getting "free TV" for 10 years) We live out in the country and IAW the "gov" web site, the available TV stations are in Augusta, GA and Greenville, SC, bothareas are 50-70 miles from us. Usually, when the wind blows or a storm is within 30 miles of us, our TV reception goes somewhere.........other than to our TV. I've had my new stuff installed about 2 weeks now, been through 5 severe thunderstorms with strong lightning, 55 mph winds and I still had great TV reception on most channels! All I can say is, "Damn, what a great antenna and pre-amp." Also, I want to tell ya'll that your web site is great! I'm 65 yrs old and my son calls me a "tec-no dinosaur" but I had no problems getting around your web site and understanding just what I needed, and thanks to you my understanding of free TV airwaves and how everything works is up to date. One calm and clear night last week, I turned my antenna towards Atlanta (120 miles away) and picked up 3 of their channels. Of course they weren't there the next morning. Right now I have 27 channels, ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS, 6 PBS stations from Ga, SC and NC. I feel like I got "Free Satellite!" TV. My 90 year old Mother-in-law lives withus and she's happy.....she can watch her "soaps" with no interference while she "naps"!

Ya'll have a great day and thanks again!

Hello Tony and Denny from Ann Arbor, Michigan
Please post on your website for other potential customers. After spending many hours of research on Denny's website (absolutely no other information source comes close), I decided to arrange for an installation.
It's been two weeks since Tony and Denny completed my HD Stacker installation. (At age 66 I avoid ladders and roofs.) I originally told Tony that I was hoping to reach the stations in bothToledo and Detroit, over 100 compass degrees apart, but with an emphasis on the farther Toledo stations that are about 45 miles away. I was thinking about having a Stacker and and EZ installed on the same mast, and Tony methodically configured an array accordingly, taking a generous amount of time in the interest of precision. He explained everything about his approach and was obviously very knowledgeable about antenna and amplifier configuration.
Tony initially did a trial install on a lower roof, but was not satisfied withthe performance. However, accessing my upper roof presented unforeseen challenges due to a very hot surface on a very warm June day and a full array of solar panels previously installed. So Tony rescheduled for an early morning next visit. To my surprise, both Tony and Denny showed up a week later to complete the installation. The two of them worked out an access plan based on discussion, determination, and logic. Placing just a tripod-mounted Stacker on the difficult-to-access upper roof did the trick. Based on their recommendation, I was able to avoid the double antenna array and a more expensive pre-amp. Withjust the Stacker aimed at Toledo, I now receive all of those 45-mile-away stations full strength, and almost all of the 35 mile away Detroit stations at half signal strength (but full digital clarity), even though the Stacker is not aimed in that direction. Our best TV (a 55 inch Samsung) presents an absolutely stunning picture in full digital clarity. Up on the roof, the six foot long Stacker is not the monstrosity that other antennas are.
Denny loves to talk, and presented a wealth of information on antenna design and performance based on a lifetime of experience. He explained how he designed the Stacker and had Winegard do the testing. Loves his profession, as does son Tony who is also very competent.
This note is just to emphasize that I am a very satisfied customer regarding both service and equipment. My basic cable service is now cancelled and my savings will pay for my equipment and installation cost in a couple of years. These guys are total professionals and this is one of my most memorable great outcomes in paying someone to do an excellent job start-to-finish.

HD Stacker with view of solar panels
Hello,
Installed the HD Stacker over the weekend (06-11-2011) and I am very pleased with the performance. We have been at this location for over 20 years and have never been able to receive OTA as good as we can now. The HDStacker delivered as promised! I especially like the small footprint of the antenna, compared to anything else that would even come close to the performance of this one. We have "dished" the Dish and with the addition of Netflix and maybe Hulu Plus I am saving a ton of $$! Thanks guys for a great product!

Thank you Denny,
I received the Stacker a few days ago and I coordinated with my brother the install. The install went great! What a wonderful antenna!
My brother is a ham radio geek and he loved the design (we recently buiolt a Wifi Yagi antenna for a friend that's working unbelievably well) and most likely he will be buying one soon.

Hi Denny,
So I got the antenna yesterday and gave her a test. It is very impressive to say the least. I've got all I need and more then I'd ever want without doing a very precise install in any sense (for now at least, we'll get it right before I'm done)
First I just slapped a fitting on each end of the 100' coax and plugged her in while standing in the living room and immediately was receiving most of the digital channels simply by pointing the thing out my front door which is directly south and the stations are more east than even southeast. I knew I had a winner at that point. I dragged the thing into the attic and set it on the floor upside down while I got everything situated. I turned the TV on and was going to start working on which position/angle I needed to mount it and to my surprise I was already getting every digital channel. That's right, upside down on the floor without a preamp and it works spectacular. (yes I did leave it, I'll get back to it eventually though)
It was a pleasure Denny and will definately recommend you and your antenna to anyone who will listen.

I live in Dillon Beach, CA and I am 60 miles from San Francisco. The FCC reception map has me in the red for all but a couple of local stations. I have the Stacker mounted in a small attic that it barely fit in and I get the red stations from San Francisco galore and perfectly. I get channels 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 20, 22, 38, 44, 50, 60, 65 and more. Thanks for the great product! It is awesome and I love it.

Hello,
I wanted to let you know that I received and installed my new HD Stacker antenna and preamplifier. we were tired of paying our ridiculous DirecTV bill each month so we began looking for alternatives. We live in a very rural area of Southwest Arkansas and were hoping to just be able to receive the three major network stations out of Shreveport (about 60 miles away) with an antenna. We decided on your products mainly because you responded quickly to my email request for information. We are EXTREMELY pleased with the results! Not only are we receiving the three stations we had hoped for, but 14 others as well!
Thanks for your help! I have friends and family that are considering ordering products from you also.

First Email
Right now the antenna set up I have is Clearstream DB8 and a C5 VHF antenna to a VHF/UHF combiner then to a AP 8275 pre-amp. Total cable run to a 4 way splitter is about 30'. From the splitter to the TV's ranges 20' to 35' max. I have the antenna looking towards NYC.
It works nice but it looks big plus the last wind storm we had it came down. I think due to the fact the back screens caught most of the air. Now I am looking at your HD Stacker due to the smaller size of the antenna and from the performance charts it may fit the bill.
Second email 3 days later.
Got the Stacker antenna this morning just finished installing it. I am seeing a 10 to 20 percent -+ 5% improvement well worth the money.
Thanks Marco

Denny, Thank you for the antenna, I spent Saturday in the misty rain and wind putting it up. I have enclosed a picture. The instructions were easy to read and there was no trouble putting it together. I must admit that I thought because of the small size of the Stacker, I had my doubts of the performance. Upon turning it on I was amazed at the reception. I am passing you and the antenna around at work as to how great it is. Thank you for such a great antenna, I am impressed.

HD Stacker...Put it up...works great...problems gone...As a Ham radio operator I give this antenna a thumbs up.

Denny's,
Yesterday I installed the Stacker antenna that I purchased from you. It replaced a worn out Radio Shack 10' antenna. My signal improved by 40%. The HD picture quality is outstanding!
Thank you for delivering the antenna quaickly and for providing quality products for people who are fed up with overpriced cable and satellite subscription prices.

Denny,
Finally got everything installed. Made the switch from cable to the HD Stacker antenna over the weekend. All 3 TV's have unbelievable pictures even the 42" plasma. Don't think there's any need for an amplifier.
Thanks for the recommendation and great service.

Hulmeville, PA
Thanks Denny I am Very Happy with my HD Stacker Antenna it performs even with snow. We had wind gust up to 57 MPH and did not loose a channel. We have had hard rain and have not had one channel drop with bad weather so far!!!!!
Thanks For Your Help & Excellent Customer Service
