I just read an article about how great the clearview hdtv antenna is and how it is better than cable or satellite. Further it could be free for seniors. Does anybody know anything this?
As others have said there is no such thing as an HDTV antenna. just a Radio antenna (Television, be it digital or analog is really radio).
And "Free to seniors".. more like free to everyone. After the what 29.95 initial purchase.
What is it worth. closer to the 0.95.
How it works, Simple over the air radio antenna. no gain to speak of, nothing to recommend it over a good antenna. also no height less you are on like the 10th floor of a building.
What is better?
Most any OUTDOOR Tv antenna. HEIGHT IS MIGHT when it comes to VHF/UHF radio (Television is in teh VHF and UHF bands) and an antenna with GAIN (Directional) can see farther in the direction it is pointed and has other benefits as well.
For a house I'd recommend a big channel master atop a tower or mast
For an RV a Winegard Sensar IV with Sensar PRO indoor module.
