I got home with the ANT751R last night and, being non-committal with it, clamped it to my patio table outside, 4 feet off the ground, pointed it in the general direction I thought the transmitters were, and ran a 100' cable in through the door. I thought "well, we might get a couple more channels, and then I'll have to try a shorter cable for the losses, clamp it to the eaves (at least get above the block wall), get out my compass, etc."
Holy cow, those little indoor jobs must be just about worthless. Switching to the jury rigged outdoor, I got every channel I could think of without even trying to set it up right. Whew! Now I can do a proper installation and have awesome free TV with no reception issues!
Thank you guys!
