We have a private area about 2 acres with mature (40ft +) dense trees around us. The closest antenna is 16 miles away and Chicago antennas is 44 miles away. We use this with our flat Phillips 50 "Pixel Plus 2 HD with its own built-in HDTV antenna. With only an HDTV antenna that came with your TV, we got maybe two channels on a sunny day.
We add only this antenna in our ground floor bedroom and held it behind our right: blocked views. We did a search and found 17 HDTV channels and another 20 meet usual channels.
When we placed the antenna on the roof (which is an old DirecTV cables on the roof), we had a solid 20 + channels in HDTV, and another 34 regular channels. Some breaker 't head, but most are as good as the old "regular" TV quality.
We will probably upgrade in the near future to DB4 now that we know that it works for us. This thing is not a scam, but we believe that you must be within about 30 or max 40 miles to get any reception.
Our advice:
drop useless expensive cable or satellite and take a $ 15 per month Netflix membership to beat / defeat all the Showtime and HBO stuff and put the antenna for the local news things. Saves us at least $ 60 a month.
If you already have cable or satellite service there are still some good reasons to buy an antenna anyways. First, a TV signal that is picked up over the air is optimal, meaning it hasn't been compressed, lava antenna
