And JoeAZ and Nascarken both recommended the GE unit as well. Is the Winegard really better than the GE? Because as a layman, the GE is looking better!
Don't pay much attention to the mileage figures, they are just a marketing tool. What counts is the signal strength at your location. The Winegard has more gain, so it would be better in an attic than the GE antenna. Outside, the GE should have enough gain, but I can't give you a guarantee.
