@ADtech. My ham radio buddies would disagree with your range assessment of omnidirectional antennas, but that is for another forum.
Let me give you and the CEA standards board the benefit of the doubt: you are protecting consumers with a "bigger is better" philosophy that ensures viewing satisfaction, but what happens when the FCC takes away the 600Mhz UHF punchbowl, and all the antenna industry has to offer apartment and condo dwellers is attic and rooftop yagis for viewing the "repacked" VHF channels? The cable and dish TV companies must be salivating, while the National Association of Broadcasters is suing the FCC.
Trust me, channels that are rated "blue" at my address on antennaweb come in just fine on my omnidirectional antenna. TVFool has a much more realistic assessment of those stations than antennaweb, but is still stuck in the indoor-attic-rooftop consumer options dictated by the CEA standards.
At least, I am no longer confused by the term "CEA-Certified". I thank you for that.
