Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I live in the most NW part of Chicago about 12 miles away from downtown Chicago where the main transmission towers are.
We just bought 2 new HDTVs for our house and we have DirecTV but I didn't want to upgrade to their HD-DVR box yet because 1) they want $300 per box and 2) their equipment is junk. I am holding out to see if the TIVO-HD boxes, which are far superior in quality, will eventually work with satellite and not just cable. So, in the meantime, I thought I would try this antenna to see if I could pick up the HD OTA (over the air) signal for my local channels. This little guy works just great! You can't go wrong for the price! You just plug it into the antenna input on your TV and tell it to auto-search for channels.
One of the best things about this antenna is that although it includes a 6' coax cable, the cable is NOT permanently attached to the antenna so you can attach a longer cable if you want to. When I first scanned for channels with the 6' cable, I picked up 30 channels (12 analog and 18 digital). After I attached a longer cable run, repositioned the antenna higher up and near a window; I rescanned and picked up over 40 channels. This was in a basement where our family room is located. It immediately picked up 40+ channels on the first floor of our single story home the first time out. One caveat, you will not pick up Channel 2(CBS) in either analog or HD because it is next to impossible to get in Chgo with an antenna.
