People, it's an amplified indoor antenna that will ONLY receive OTA (Over The Air) broadcasts. For those who do not know, broadcasts are paid for by ads so it is NOT piracy. You also will not get a better picture than OTA HD save for BluRay as long as the signal is at least 65%. Also there is NO such thing as a digital antenna. Digital stations are carried by analog RF in either high VHF or UHF as mpeg transport streams. RF does not care what it is carrying.

or just buy antenna from store and hook it up. i have two hd antenna from fry's. combined and they r giving me 219 channel. one is set to direction of north and other is to south. i placed em on my house roof. no water damage, no wind damage. these antenna cost like 150 each. but its good investment when you don't have to pay 100 or up every month to cable companies.

This is not a scam, it's just a an amplified over the air antenna. The reason so many people think it is something else is that the cable and satellite industry have spent a lot of time and effort to claim a "value added" service by adding the free over the air channels to their digital lineup (which they now charge you for), so you could continue to get local channels through your cable. In the analog days, you could get a much more reliable and higher quality picture with cable than you could with most antennas, but even the cable company had to receive these channels with an antenna. They just usually had a very big one on a tower to get that signal so perfectly. Since all of our TV stations have gone digital over the air however, a good rather than perfect signal is all that is required to get a perfect high-definition picture with 5.1 surround sound. This can be accomplished with a suitable antenna. In my case, a high-gain amp on a rotatable directional fringe area antenna on a mast attached to my house gets me those good signals, but in the suburbs a good multi-directional with a lesser amp should suffice in most cases. If you HOA outlaws them, let your local FCC office know, because they technically can't do that.

Yes it works for all your local channels that are within the range of your digital antenna. You may have to point it in another direction to get more of the local over the air digital tv channels you are looking for. It,s not cable tv. But you watch what you can pick up with this antenna for free. I like free and always have.

Wow! It works! Awesome! Thanks

this is a pretty cool throwback.... i could be wrong but it seems like basically a digital content converter. Stations don't broadcast in Analog anymore (not to my knowledge, and according to the MHz range its looking for digital signals. i do wonder though, if you're using coax, you're likely just getting 480i digital... not ID 480p, HD 720p, or HD1080i (tv isnt broadcast in 1080p yet). Can anyone confirm that? this would likely be good only for those wanting just over the air free TV. (like users of Apple TV users who don't have cable, or access to the CableProvider APP (like TWCTV / OptimumTV)....

yeah this would work just for local channels, just like any other antenna.

Excellent video! Thank you.

Regarding the antenna vs.Comcast cable. With the antenna you're actually getting a digital output on your TV. You still get the same channels on Comcast but by the time the picture reaches your TV it's been downconverted to analog unless you're willing to pay more for a digital box.

Can I hook this antenna to my cable TV splitter that is going to my other 3 TV's and work? Or do I need separate antennas for each TV? I was thinking of getting ride of my cable which is split off from a single feed to all my TVs in the home. Does it matter how long the cable line is? I would want a nice long cable feed going to the top of the roof of the home. I would say about 150' long max from antenna to the TV's. Thanks.
