Philadelphia- successful installation. 49 channels.

CM-3016 installed and working. Jim Thompson of Advanced Satellite Systems, Berlin, NJ did the installation in 90 minutes.
Said he didn’t need the 40 ft. ladder he brought.

51.1
52.1, .2, .3
57.1
61.1, .2, .3
65.1, .2

49 channels for $260, without a monthly bill.

Don’t know about analog stations. Lead goes into a Magnavox (TB100MW9) digital converter box w/o analog pass through.

Follow up: I was at the Sears web site. They had installation available through Crutchfield. Local antenna, attached to one or two TV’s is $200. The Channel Master CM-3016 antenna was another $60. The next larger antenna (CM-3018) was $20 more. The installation for the CM-3018 is $300.

Crutchfield’s installation partner is Installs, Inc. The first 2 persons they put me in touch with claimed they could not do the job. They didn’t have a 40 foot ladder. The second one rolled out here with 2 trucks, 6 persons at 8:15 AM. Then told me he couldn’t do the job, he had to get that 40 foot ladder. Two weeks later, he still didn’t have the ladder.

I told Installs and Crutchfield that either they get it installed, or I was cancelling the installation and returning the antenna. I followed up with an email to persons listed on the Installs web site.

Installation completed this morning.
