I have to disagree on the winegard and its added doodads.
I added the UHF booster and the SensarPro. Ehhh. Not much, if any better.
The big problem with this system is if you want to change channels. It is not, set up and your done. Well, I guess it could be if you never change channels.
Soon as you do, you need to readjust most of the time or deal with pixilation, etc. Lousy.
When we dumped cable a 2 years ago, we had an antenna company come in. They put an omnidirectional on a 20 foot pole on top of our 2 story house. We get clear channels up to 30 miles away and still good up to 45 miles. It must be all about getting those antenna's up high (38 total channels and sub-channels).
When my unidirectional needs replacing, I am going to look hard at Omni.
I would like to see some professional online review comparing omnidirectional antenna to the batwing, and seeing real picture differences.
