The wingman got us about twice as many stations. Well worth it,especially for the $30 or so it costs. The only thing that bugs me is that with all the extra stations, a third or so of them are shopping channels or in a foreign language.
The Sensarpro is nice too. I installed one on the wall below our TV. They are made to replace the basic amplifier/CATV jack/12 volt outlet. With the LED display and buttons, it's not great to have it on the ceiling where they typically put the basic amp. I ran 4 co-ax cables and 12 volt wiring from the original ceiling location inside the upper cabinet with radio/DVD player, into the wall, down to and across the dinette seat, and back up the wall. The ceiling cavity was extremely cramped due to the arched ceiling near the outer walls. I wanted to put it in sight of the antenna crank handle but couldn't get wiring anywhere close to the antenna. The beeping sound for aiming the antenna works very well. I keep the amp turned up to max. gain.
I really like the all high def OTA digital stations but there is no programming schedule and you need to go onto the internet to find out what's comming up. Someone posted this link recently for finding out what stations you have locally and where to aim your antenna. TVFool.com
