I believe the vent was metal - the antenna is not right up against it - maybe 2-3 feet away with the center of the antenna lined up with the center of the vent. I'll have to find time moving it around to see what diff it makes.
I looked at the exposed insulation board around the vent and chipped off a tiny piece an I don't think there's a foil covering on the outside (50 yr old house)
I watched ABC last night w/o a single blip, though times when I switched to NBC/CBS I saw an occasional dropout/pixilation.
After the holiday I'm leaning toward returning it an finding a better antenna since it looks like it'll work having one in there. Is there a difference between 'antenna gain' and an amplified antenna?
thanks for the link about CR article - I've been thinking about cutting cable & upgrading my internet connection. My curr connection doesn't cut it (my TV has wireless)
