KING OA8201 Jack HDTV Over-the-Air Antenna
I'm thinking about buying one of these because I don't watch tv a lot while away from home. Has anyone else installed or have one? Are they worth it?

We upgraded to the King Jack antenna a year ago. It does ok as far as pulling stations. However, there are situations where the original antenna did better because it was elevated about 2ft above the roof when cranked up.
That said, I am very glad we changed to the Jack antenna. Don't have to worry about forgetting to drop the antenna...been there done that. I occasionally see trailers or motorhome cruising down the freeway with that antenna flapping in the breeze.
They do sell a jack antenna that can attach to the original antenna arms. I tried that and it did better than the mount on the roof one. However, in my case, it would hit the air conditioner when lowered so could not use it.
