Those TV and Magazine ADS are a BIG SCAM. They make you think you can buy something ,THAT HAS NEVER BEEN OFFERED BEFORE! All they are selling is a standard TV antenna that does not look like a TV antenna on your roof or the old rabbit ears. What they claim is NOTHING NEW. Those OTA (Over The Air) signal are NOW digital instead on Analog from 1948 until 2008. Digital does NOT extend in miles as far as the old Analog signals. So, while you may have received TV stations over the air at your residence before 2008, the distance may be too great for digital which those Clearviews ALSO will not receive. THEY are limited to mileage range also. The basic rule is, IF over 50 miles from the Broadcast Towers, you probably will NOT receive OTA reception unless you have a roof top powerfull Digital type antenna. The CLEARVIEW is NOT magic. The tone of the ad is to scare people into thinking someone is conspiring to keep "FREE" TV from you. ALL HYPE. Doug
