I got the same plans via Make and have been using mine for 2+ years. It works awesome. Before dtv I could get 1-2 stations of mostly fuzz. Now I get 7 channels in full HD.

Tried some shielding on the back and it did not make any difference.

same here... I receive over 30+ channels now, most are HD (LA) area. With this and a computer hooked up to my TV would never consider going back to cable.

Note that 4-bay may be overkill depending on how far out you are.

I can get all the stations possible in my area with just 2-bay.

So build with 2-bay first and test maybe to save time/money.

I also did not need the reflector, in fact it made things worse.

I was looking at that design yesterday. I decided I didn't have the time to buy the materials and build it in the 30 minutes I had before the game started, so I ended up watching on Youtube. I plan on building this antenna in the future though.
