I purchased a MS – 2000 and it worked quite well for a few months until all of the VHF channels were knocked out. ABC, NBC and FOX disappeared.
Winegard was no help at all. Tech Support seemed mystified as this was the first time this had happened. Tech Support from the local NBC station said that a static charge from lightning probably knocked out the FET transistors which is a common occurence here in Florida.
Winegard would not even consider a warranty even though it is only a few months old!
Beware if you buy this product.
