UPDATE: Installed in the attic finally! I’m getting 90-100% reception on most of the local channels where with a cheap inside antenna I was getting 50-60%. I’m setting up my Plex DVR system now in addition to that. For those that don’t use Plex, you are definitely missing out. What a great program.

I currently have it pointed to our local new stations in Youngstown, but if I point it towards Cleveland (50+ miles), I can get some channels up there also.

Had 1 of those, works real well but could not pull in towers located 68 miles away thru the trees. Gave it to my MIL.

Also add a TABLO to your tv antenna and you have an awesome guide EPG and a way to record anything.
