The more fantastic the advertising claims, the more suspicious one should be.

I can not think of any circumstance where I would recommend this antenna.

Many decades of experience in communications has confirmed repeatedly, you can not remove noise and interference from a signal with an amplifier.

Many small antennas with built in amplifiers are on the market, each to a degree, suffers from the same basic design flaw;

They use a small, low gain antenna which due to the laws of physics, can not receive as much of the desired signal or reject enough interfering signals. Then, attempting to make up for the first compromise, an amplifier is added to the design, which due to the laws of physics, increases the strength of the desired and undesired signals while adding noise produced inside the active components of the amplifier.

Finally, I think the price is quite high.

If you would like a suggestion that applies to your location, feel free to post a link to your TV Fool report. http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=4
