Antenna 125 mile

the tv that i have: TV-GE XS Stereo Commercial Skip Model 27GT620 (year 1997)

the converter box is: Iview 2000 STB
I do not recommend the antenna. A claim of 125 mile range is not believable.

Your TV Fool Report indicates extremely high (strong) signal levels. The antenna you are considering has an amplifier built in which will be overloaded by the strong signals. Please don't waste your hard earned money on an amplified antenna or accessory amplifier of any sort.

Earlier, I recommended the Terk HDTVi: http://forum.tvfool.com/showpost.php...05&postcount=5 That is still my recommendation.
