- I have the square "Clear TV" antennae for $10.00, works the same and works great!
Searching for over the air stations by using your zip code shows what you can get. Ours works great in the motorhome. It also works very well outside of our house. If you have metal siding, it will need to be outside. I am not paying to watch commercials on cable, should be free just like radio with all the adds they have.
Brian - I see those adds for Free TV (Over the air broadcast) all the time. NOTE that often they will not work in an RV.. And none of them can match a good old Batwing for performance
Now if you take a basic Batwing, add the wingman and a Sensar pro.....
Where I am not I get so much over the air TV I can't watch it all.. Today I move to the land of "I can't get no" Television that is.. But I have so much recorded (Twin DVR's) That I'll not run out in fact last time I had still had hour long shows on the drives when I got back... (FIrst time I had to watch a movie. Just one).

NO that thing is NOT better than what you have
want a good antenna on the house
invest $40-$100 on a good outside 'ARRAY'
look up the stations you are supposed to be getting
look up the Frequency they are really on, UHF or VHF
and buy the correct array
if they are located in different compass points
get a rotor for turning the antennawhat was old is NOW new Again
Ain't that the truth! :B- @pickjare

what was old is NOW new Again - Dangerous dangerous advertisement...
Danged near pulled the stitches on my surgery. There's an even better one out there.Simply send x number of dollars and "You Will Soon Be Reviving Every Battery In Sight"
"Car battery? No sweat AAA alkaline? Piece of cake! You will soon be the most popular person in your neighborhood"
It all sounds hysterical until you realize that people who can't wait to become something akin to a religious icon...
...also votes - The only tv we have is OTA type, no cable. And with it our Amazon antenna only picks up 8 stations and we have to fiddle with it each time we change stations. Just like 30 years ago. Do you guys think in our situation, maybe this antenna would actually be better for us? Maybe better reception and less fiddling? Or is there one out there you know of that would be better than the one we bought from Amazon? This is on our house none the less...
- well every link is bogus!! Whats the deal?? No Deal at all.. just propaganda, Its OTA,, some refer to it as Over The Air..
Some camp spots I get 40 channels FREE!! Crazy!! - I think a few 'readers' {not the posters of replies} may have missed the point
that Mexi and the posters are making fun of the adv
NOT endorsing it - Most RV already have one. It's called a Winegard TV antenna. You know that crank up thing on your roof.

This part of the linked "adticle" made me glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read it... :R"But how can you watch for free? The secret to that is a law that no cable company in the world wants you to know about. It states that every cable company has to provide additionally to the normal signal a over-the-air signal. So in order to not break the law the cable companies distrubute this signal but in a low frequency- so almost no antennas were able to pick it up reliably. Until now - TVFox Antenna changes that."
The "cable company" is required to provide an OTA signal? Do they really think we're that gullible? Or stupid? :S
They are carrying that opinion all the way to the bank!
