It's not accurate at all, it said that an indoor set top antenna is sufficient to receive the stations I want. That's far from the truth because the indoor set top antenna I bought barely worked ,if at all till I sat it outside. It then worked till about March or April when I decided to buy the ANT751. I threw the set top onto the roof in rage thinking it would work better up there but the cable came loose before I got to hook it up.
