Will this ONLY receive an ATSC signal or will it receive LOCAL stations? I live in San Antonio and we have no ATSC signal!

This receives both ATSC and ATSC M/H. ATSC is the transmission standard for Digital Television in the U.S. Analog broadcasts have been discontinued. Your local channels would be ATSC. Here is a link to the coverage ATSC Coverage maps from the F.C.C. for San Antonio - http://transition.fcc.gov/dtv/markets/maps_current/San_Antonio_TX.pdf ATSC M/H is a mobile version which you may find a few channels for in your market. ATSC does not work well when moving, therefore ATSC M/H is meant for Mobile/Handheld, but it's not wildly deployed. If you have a digital television and your receiving TV stations in your area, that is ATSC. Good Luck

TV stations are only ATSC now since 2009. You don't have any M/H stations. This receives ATSC but reception wouldn't be great in a moving vehicle due to Doppler effect. The M/H signal is a copy of the regular signal but much smaller and more immune to noise. It is currently being tested in big cities.

Yes, this unit will allow you to receive local programming. My only complaint (and it may be just my location in Columbus, OH) is that I'm not able to get a signal for any local channels while my car is in motion--- there is actually just one channel that is viewable while in motion and I believe it is transmitted over an ATSC signal. All of the local channels however are viewable when my car is stopped.

I do not receive 97W signals in Trinidad. The 95W feed (I receive) is DirectV LA and requires a circular LNB which this is not

I can't tell you for sure. I am in Anchorage,AK and there is a station that is only 16 miles from me and I have to move the antenna just for that station sometimes. I get the other 2 networks just fine. This was the 4th antenna I tried and it was better than the others.

The answer depends on where you live. This Over-The-Air (OTA) antenna does a fantastic job of pulling in signals that other antennas would struggle with. The best way to find out what local stations are in the area is by doing a web search based on your address. (http://www.antennaweb.org/Address.aspx). This will guide you to the local towers and help to determine the best direction for placement.

My antenna gets signals from a station that is north of us just as well as it receives signals from the south. The station to the north is closer though... As far as re-configuring it, I have no experience with this.

I have no problem receiving VHF or UHF signals. I have the SKY mounted in the attic and do get digitalbreak up, depending on weather conditions. I am about 20 miles from broadcast stations in the Detroit area.

If you are in the USA (or Canada) or anywhere using ATSC this device won't receive TV. I haven't tried it with anything other DMR.

As far as I know there are no analog signals at least in the United States from what I understand, so I do not know if it ell receive analog

As long as the provider does not require it to watch the channels you want then no. Local SD and HD channels over the air should work fine.

I just got it in today,. On the channel scan I am getting both analog and Clear QAM Local Networks on Time Warner.From the manual "US System NTSC-M, ATSC Standard (8VSB) and QAM"

Not much local stations, seems to be radum major stations ABC, CBS,ect. around the U.S. You do get a lot of shows from HBO Showtime, ect. I mean a lot! But make sure befor you buy one that you have a very strong wifi provider, I learned the faster the wifi the better the quality, and will not buffer as much.

NO. This unit ONLY works with ATSC over the air digital channels. It will not work with cable TV signals at all.

Depends on where you are. In a major city (where I am) I receive abc, nbc, cbs, 2 fox channels, ion, an old movie station, pbs, and some random ones like asian gospel and spanish stations. It's plenty for me. I imagine if you're out in the country you would receive less.

I don't know. I only have connected to the local stations in Houston, Texas.

No it did nothing for my situation. I live in a valley about 2 miles from a tower. My signal is always 2 or less & I sent this back as it didn't change the signal at all. I even had a directional antenna.

I also get local channels from Dish. This unit will still get any off air channels within range including the ones on dish
