Jeff,
I've experimented with and used both the CM 4221 (4-bay) and the 4228 (8-bay). Both seem to work quite well but I found the 4228 was much more directional and was better with multipath issues.
Most of the St. Louis DTVs are very powerful. In fact, just last week I was visiting a friend near Quincy, IL so I took my digital tuner and the 4221 to experiment with reception in that area. I was located 99-102 miles from most of the St. Louis towers and I was able to get most of the stations even in the middle of the day when reception conditions were at their worst. I was using a preamp on the line but the antenna was up only about 17 feet off the ground.
Good luck and happy viewing!
Steve
