Free TV Key

The tv key is just an antenna.. Its not going to do anything that your roof antenna cant.. It will actually be worse IMO since its not on the roof and has no direction.. I am not sure if its even amplified...

Why dont your rv antennea work?

Mine dont work everywhere.. especially in the boondocks far from singals...

I saw that on TV. I assumed it was just a digital antenna. Often times I can get over 50 channels at big cities with my RV digital antenna. People who haven't dealt with digital TV don't know.

Unfortunately, most of the channels suck. If I can get good reception for MeTV, I'm happy.

I've seen 2 kinds, the one that's just a digital antenna, and the kind that pirates movies off the internet. As mentioned above, the antenna on your trailer is probably better then the one that's a digital antenna.

The one that grabs pirated movies, tv, and such do work, more or less. From what I've heard, sometimes they work, sometimes not. Depends on usage, available network speed, and the reliability of the providers, if you want to call them such. I can't imagine it's legal, but that doesn't bother everyone.

There is NO such thing as 'Digital Antenna'.........doesn't exist.

A wire coat hanger can be used to receive OTA digital signals provided the TV has a digital tuner or a analog to digital converter is used.

OTA digital signals are transmitted on a narrow beam. THe higher the old antenna is the better the chance of reception.
Aiming the antenna towards the TV Transponder towers the better the chance of reception
The closer one is to the TV Transponder Towers the better the chance of reception

The Windgard Sensor Crank up amplified antenna is the best for reception of the OTA TV signals

Several websites available to find towers/distance and direction to aim antenna

Forget the TV Key.
Get a Winegard Sensar to add to your batwing antenna.
Camping World or Amazon.
I did and it is amazing how many more channels I can pull.

Hard to beat the good ole batwing antenna highon the roof of the RV...

My big trailer batwing looks like this google image...


My OFF-ROAD POPUP antenna looks like this...


Used to bring along the SAT TV portable dish and bedroom SAT RCVRs but when the NATL BROADCAST came out with digital HDTV we stopped bring all of that stuff along with us... We do quite well pointing our OTA antenna to the local towns getting High Def tv...

In an RV the Batwing antenna is the best way to get reception.

In regards to using these advertised over the air antennas for residential use, the important thing to know is to buy one that is AMPLIFIED. The ones that are not amplified simply do NOT work.

You have to really read and re-read the label on the box to make sure you are buying one that is 'amplified'.

I bought one from Walmart that is a flat square piece of thin plastic that you put on the inside wall of your home. It is amplified and in the middle of the woods down in a gully in my Florida winter home I get around 14 channels. Very happy with in.

BTW: I actually get 'better definition' then with cable/satellite because over the air is not compressed. :W

It's no secret that most digital TV is compressed and decompressed--in some cases several times-...

The problem is viewers want more HD channels at a time when many cable and satellite providers are at the limits of their capacity, said Jim Willcox, a technology editor for Consumer Reports magazine.

"They have to figure out a way to deliver more HD content through their distribution networks," he said.

Compressing the signal is cheaper than costly infrastructure upgrades to increase capacity. Satellite TV providers — including DirecTV Group Inc. and Dish Network Corp


:C

Stick a paper clip in the hole where your coax cable attaches to your television and you will probably have better reception than that KEY thing and yoy've just saved your self that "free" shipping!
