I canceled my cable due to getting laid off last week and purchased this antenna so that I could at least get local news and pbs and watch what few shows I like on the network stations. I am returning it tomorrow and will try to exchange it for an amplified antenna. Hopefully I'll have better luck. According to the sales person at the store here, I live in an ideal spot for reception in the city, I'm on the right side of downtown, don't have any sky scrapers blocking the signal, live in a neighborhood with mostly single story homes, but I can not get a single channel in clearly with this. I'll be returning and trying to get the amplified RCA or Apex instead.
What's great about it: cheap, seems sturdy enough
What's not so great: can't get a single clear channel
