I like the Paperclip
The 100 channels claim is about the only legitimate thing in the entire ad for that antenna.. WHY do I say this
Well every TV station has (Somewhere in it's files and often on line) a "Footprint" map.. This is the chart of where you can and can not watch them and also just how much antenna you need. For example where I grew up we were in the "Dark" for all TV stations.. but thanks to a 100' Tower and I think Channel Master's #2 Signal Sucker (Antenna) we got many stations.. What can I say. I installed the mast head amplifier.. at the top of that 100' Tower.. I'm acrophobic so you got to know I had the proper safety gear up there to insure I came down in a nice controlled manner.. one step at a time.. not the 3-second express (SPLAT) way.
So what they did was research and find the one place on earth where you could get 100 "Stations" with that antenna. Took it there, hookd it up and verified. Then they publish the ad.. Ask them they can give you the address where it's true.
