Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I live in Santa Clara, CA -- 45 miles south of San Francisco (where most of the local channels broadcast for us). I moved into a duplex (apartment) during a remodel, and I needed a video feed when the Olympics were on this summer. Standard indoor antennas weren't working for me. I found this compact, amplified antenna on the web. So I bought it, and mounted it on a 7' piece of 3/4" PVC pipe in our living room (rental and all...) and secured it in the corner of our living room. It worked great. We got well over 50 channels of free broadcast HDTV). These included NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, PBS and a whole host anything from independent stations to foreign-language channels. (Warning: we found that at least 2 channels were dedicated to cartoons 24 hours a day, which didn't make bedtime for our youngster any easier.) Admittedly...using this indoors, some of the channels briefly dropped video resolution occasionally, but it rarely seemed to be an issue with "local" channels. I can only guess how well this would have worked had I mounted it outside.
It's small enough to easily fit in an attic, so depending on what kind of roof you have...you might find it works great from there. It's light and easy to handle. I don't know how well it will weather a windstorm (it seems sturdy enough), but years of UV exposure to the plastic parts is a question mark. But for 4 months or so now it has worked great for us from our living room. In my book, it has already paid for itself.
