The scenario depicted in this piece does not work unless the viewer lives in or very close to a large metropolitan area. I live 39 miles from Philadelphia and 52 miles from the Baltimore transmitters. I had to install two 12 element antennas to receive Lo-VHF and Hi-VHF signals, and a 7 foot parabolic reflector UHF antenna
to get all the others. Each antenna has it's own mast mounted preamp.Each antenna preamp feeds it's own separate HD converter box. There is a Tivo and
several router switchers that allow complete flexibility of signal viewing.This was an expensive one time purchase 10 years ago, but it continues to provide
high quality free viewing from three different television markets.The idea that good TV reception is obtainable everywhere with a single indoor antenna
is a myth the promotions people continue to spread. It's just not so. Cliff Benham On 10/12/2014 12:43 PM, Monty Solomon wrote:
