Over all that's why i gave it a 4 out 5 stars..." Read Full Review »

    Pros

  • Small design

    Cons

  • Bad at VHF reception

    Best Uses

  • UHF only reception
 

"I'm the chief engineer at a TV station and after reading the product description, I figured I'd point out that the note about 95% of stations being UHF is NOT ACCURATE. 25 to 30 % of the stations out there now in DTV are indeed VHF (channels 2-13), meaning that you probably have at least one in you …"  Read Full Review »
