I've had the square shooter since the Super Bowl and have had nothing but great OTA local HD signal reception.  I live in the southwestern part of Milwaukee by the Southridge and have no problem getting all but WTMJ and FOX.  I'm not sure if the WTMJ signal is weak or my antenna is just not picking up the signal well.  WTMJ's signal is flaky with the square shooter.  It varies from 55% signal strength to 90% signal strength depending on the time of day.  Daytime reception of WTMJ is very poor.  The best reception for me is during prime time, but even that is sporadic.  Overall, I'm very satisfied with the product.  It's small, compact, easy to mount, and offers pretty solid DTV signal reception.  I think you'll like the product, if not....there's always someone willing to buy it off EBAY.

I e-mailed wineguard about the fuzz with 4 and 6, seems in the spec's it states that it works on vhf 7 thru 14. All other channels are great guess in this area you lose two with that ant.
