They don't show gain figures, but the ad copy touts its ability to receive off the back and the front (presumably equally), thereby increasing the number of channels potentially available. The...

While you're waiting for the pros to respond, I'll give you my two cents (just an enthusiast). You've got all UHF, in groups almost at cardinal points - shifted a bit, but three of the four groups...

My neighbor has two or three separate antennas, all fed into separate tuner cards (or maybe they're SiliconDust HDHomeRun units) in his HTPC system, and all available on a single on-screen menu. One...

If all you want is those four stations, they're all available between 256 and 265 magnetic. But I don't think the ANT751r, HBU11, or CM2018 have enough gain for reliable reception, especially with...

Aside from any legal worries, which would be unfounded, you said that the house had a satellite dish before you bought it, and I would assume some of your neighbors have them now. There's no...
