I live in the DVB-T outskirts (NRW, Münster-Süd), where actually a roof antenna to receive private stations is recommended. As I have the DA-6000 used as indoor antenna, I could unfortunately only just a slightly better reception than with the rod antenna, which I used before, notice. Your true qualities reveals the DA-6000, however, only in operation as an external antenna. I have the antenna via ribbon-Fensterdurchführung of Hama and extension antenna cable (F-connector) on the balcony installed (sold separately, the supplied cable is 3 m long, but not suitable for Fensterdurchführung). My reception options are actually very bad, since I live on the ground floor and in about 30 meters distance from the nearest apartment block will cover what the signal reception limit. Nevertheless, now I have thanks to this great aerial whopping 12 more programs, a total of 25 different because I can receive the commercial stations in Dortmund by the very good reception performance of the antenna. VIVA, VOX, RTL2, RTL, Super RTL, kabel.eins, SAT.1, ProSieben, Euro Sport, Tele5 - the station can now be received all largely trouble-free! There are significant enough, only RTL and ProSieben occasionally misfire and formation of small blocks, but this is unavoidable with DVB-T anyway. The same is true for thunderstorms, in which more and more disturbances or failures occur, but this is a shortcoming of the DVB-T technology and not the product.
Short and sweet I can this antenna so only highly each put your heart, the love in the outskirts of the DVB-T service not want to miss out on the big private channels. All I recommend, however, also bring a lot of patience. Until I had the signal set as great as I can enjoy it now, I spent a whole day trying to find the optimal location on the balcony (1 meter means the world) and align the antenna reasonably fit gene Dortmund (10 ° Angle longer mean the world) here. To soothe That said, however, that the alignment of pages of the device is very simple, because the supplied wall bracket is flexible in all directions to be bent rod. For the best reception, it is also very important to wrap it contacts the antenna extension well with electrical tape. This has again brought out in the reception quality with me a whole lot.
The only shortcoming of the DA-6000 are the screws of the wall bracket. Dowels, material for wall and pole mounting - 1a everything. But the bolts are too short and do not interfere into the dowels, if you put them through the wall bracket. So if you plan to use this antenna as an external antenna (and I highly recommend), should be in addition to the required extension cable (SAT-cable with two F-connectors male and Fensterdurchführung with two F-connectors female) necessarily before delivery somewhere two thinner, but comparatively long bolts lay out, so that the assembly can immediately go.
Nevertheless: Five stars that I now knotless Freeview can enjoy in Münster with little money and a little more patience. So I had imagined!
