Pointing my TV antenna

While the Sensar Pro is a good add-on, it's certainly not necessary and not the end all device for OTA TV. I have been in locations where the antenna stowed works better than the antenna up and locations where no matter where you point the antenna the reception is either excellent or terrible. You first need to know which way your antenna is pointing and if you do then using any number of online apps will also get your antenna pointed in the correct direction. Also keep in mind that having the antenna pointed in the correct direction is not always necessary for excellent OTA TV reception.

I have noticed the "Works better flat on the roof" syndrome too not far (Yards) from where I am now in fact.

I still like the Sensar pro because
It gives me a signal stength meter were I have the ability to choose the carrier channel to measure if I wish to peak on a slightly weaker signal. I do not know how the "Sure Lock" works

The response is faster than my TV (Now this is my fault I will admit but it takes about 1/2 second for the TV to catch up)

I can ADJUST the gain I'm not sure what but I get the feeling about 6DB above or below what I'd get with the wall plate (no ajdustment)

And a few other features..

OF course I know how to use adjustable gain.. Not all do
I know how to use all the features. again not all do.

But even if I did not understand the improtance of the gain adjustment.. It still beats anything else I've seen for that position.

NOW... But yes. knowing how to use it really helps.

When I was broke down in GA for 3 years my favorate station I could watch either via Cable.. when it worked (NOT very good and not often) or via the OTA antenna (SOlid almost all the time) OTA was not even killed by the himicane (Matthew) that blew by and knocked out nearly everything
