"I am yet to find another indoor antenna that works as well as this one. I have it hooked up to the Zenith DTT900 "converter box". The antenna is placed on the window - and I get practically all digital channels out of Mt Sutro in San Francisco with above 80 percent signal level(I am 35 miles away). …"  Read Full Review »

"A few years back I bought an antenna from Radio Shack that I put on top of the roof. While the antenna would bring in most of the digital channels that I was looking for there was one channel that it would not bring in. I first thought it may be the station not broadcasting in full power. I unhooked …"  Read Full Review »
