HD Only
 

Hello
I am looking for advice on an outdoor HD only TV antenna for my mothers house in Canada. She wants US channels. I found this antenna but I wonder if it as they are saying?
At antennadeals.com
They have a new item HD8008 Omni directional Amplified
HDTV Antenna with 35% more gain.
Powerful, long range outdoor antenna.
Receives all directions at the same time. No
pointing or tuning required. Quickly becoming
our most popular home antenna!
I am also looking for the best cable to use.
RG59 or RG6?
Thanks

Please see the two stickied threads that explain what is needed to make recommendations.

Antenna gain occurs when the antenna becomes directional. Therefore the advertising claim of 35% more gain and omnidirectional cannot be true.

I will re phrase my question
 

I may have broken a rule or two so I will rephrase my question.
I didn't see an antenna for HD TV anywhere on your site that refers to
these type of antennas :Omni directional Amplified HDTV Antenna.
Is this possible?Receives all directions at the same time? No
pointing or tuning required???
Thanks

Omni antennas generally receive poorly from all directions. Slapping a cheap, high gain amp on one does not turn it into a good, long range antenna.

If you'd like a recommendation for your mother's situation, please complete the steps outlined and we will be happy to assist you.
