NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are misquoting what I wrote completely.

I said I can pick up all the Philly DTV stations (except for FOX) and 
all the Baltimore stations
with a huge 7 ft parabolic UHF antenna 28 feet in the air and a mast 
mounted preamp connected to the Accurian STB.

I also said I could pickup one or two of the Philly stations and one or 
two of the Baltimore stations "none perfectly" with
a Silver Sensor indoors 7 feet above my living room floor for the first 
time ever at anytime here at home with the Accurian.

None of the other STBs and PC cards I have tried can do this last part 
indoors with the Silver Sensor.
I have not tried to verify how many of the analog UHF stations I can 
receive from each direction. Maybe I will do that
if I get time in the next week or so...
