EDIT---How do I make this a HOT LINK?

well, the mfg's website starts by referring to an "HDTV" antenna. seeing as there is no such thing calls into question everything else the mfg claims.

That antenna is for receiving stations broadcasting on UHF channels only. It will not receive the several hundred stations broadcasting on VHF channels unless they're next door to you.

Depending on your mounting, it will probably be as good or better than a batwing. In either case, about 70 miles or so is generally max with UHF. With my late-model batwing, and the Winegard booster inside, I have no trouble with 60+ miles direct over flatland. Much past that, the signal just ain't there at all. I have an amplified flat window antenna at our S&B, about 50 miles is good.

Use the "Advanced Post Form", click the blue globe with a link on it, and follow the instructions thusly: This Is The Hot Link
