First - no one in the US transmits in 1080p. The FCC allows 1080i and 720p. That said, I have not found a place where this antenna has not worked. Several friends have purchased it in the Chicago area and love it. In New York City you will have multipath issues (reflections off buildings) but this antenna design does a great job of minimizing them. It's easy to adjust - just move it up or down in a window - until you get satisfactory reception!

Hey Ben...not to get too technical..but they seem to increase the signal in proportion to the 2.4 GHz..the operative word here is "proportionately"..I think you will be happy with the results and the price is right...check out the Asus routers..Net gear is nice..but Asus has the edge..and Asus support is second to none...good luck..Jim

The splitter with deliver the signal in the 720p resolution to the 1080p tv. I know this because when I first hooked up the splitter I had it going to a 720p and 1080p tv. The picture on the 1080p tv was terrible since it was outputting the lower resolution signal. I remedied the situation by replacing the 720p tv with a 1080p tv. Now it works great!

I have found that making sure there is adequate wifi signal is important to using this device to stream video. For my home, I found it necessary to add a "range extender" to my wifi system . I have ocasionally experienced dropped signal since installing the extender but it is rare. Buffering has improved considerably.I have found that the recent update for the youtube app corrected a few issues including the full screen problem.I hope this helpsHarold

I'm almost certain you will need the slingbox 500 to get 1080. I decided not to go 500 because if you're really watching it out over a mobile device you can not always be certain you will get enough continuous bandwidth. I have google fiber 1gb/sec and I would find it hard to spot the difference in definition on a small screen.

I just installed one in Minneapolis on Saturday. Comcast does not offer the pick-up service yet - they have to send a tech out. Some things to note: -The tech (who was otherwise very competent) had never seen anything like this before. Do your research and be prepared to have an audience while YOU install everything.-The basic install instructions are crap. Go to the Ceton Diagnostic tool for the local host information (what they use to activate the cable card). -I don't know if it's the InfiniTV or the Comcast signal, but I've had some problems getting all 4 tuners working. I'll try to update this with any resolution I achieve. I just installed one in Minneapolis on Saturday. Comcast does not offer the pick-up service yet - they have to send a tech out.

Yes, definitely you will get great signal. Your speeds will be very similar as if you had your wireless needing device next to the router. Hopes this helps

Quick question to all the video streamers: What resolution videos can you stream? 480, 720, 1080?Can a 802.11 Draft N router be used to stream 720p or 1080p videos? I have a camcorder that records 1080p video and I'd like to stream it wirelessly to my TV from my PC that stores all the videos.Thanks,

From what I saw on another page, from TP Link: Though the speed of the Ethernet port is limited to 100mbps, the data transmission and receiveing between the devices will be approximitaley 500mbps, given the integrity of the circuit. Someone else posted that essentially if you add more than 2 of these in your house, the combined bandwidth could be up to 500mb. In my case, I had a near-wifi dead zone (1 bar, Amazon prime wouldn't stream), and after adding this, and a wifi router I turned into an AP, I can now stream Amazon prime without any issues, via ethernet to my roku, and wifi on my other devices gets MUCH better signal. In short, if you only plan to get 2 of these, you shouldn't need the 500mb ones. If you plan to setup 3+ over your house, and you have a gigabit router already, then go that route. I got these b/c at the time, they were the same price as the 200mb ones. Good luck w/ your purchase!

For the network shows, you're better off if you can get the signal over the air. The cable companies compress the signals so they can jam more channels through the same cable which degrades the picture. That being said, in my area, it just so happens that some of my favorite shows are on a channel that doesn't come in well over the air so I have my cable hooked up directly out of the wall. The picture is still pretty good with this hook up. I've been very happy with how this has worked out so far

Hey, if you have permission than it is not pirated signal smart guy. Anyway his router needs to be located in a position to provide you with optimal WiFi signal and yes you may need an amplifier to achieve good signal. The Hughs dish has nothing to do with your home as if is positioned to get internet from the satellite in the sky.

I easily pick up digital signals from 60 miles out. I live on a hill, which helps, but my Eagle Aspen antenna is mounted in my attic. Several programs are duplicate because they are broadcast from different cities. Like, I might get 3 channels of Home Shopping Network.I live 30 miles north of Pittsburgh.

Outside is always better than inside so I would expect some signal strength will be sacrificed...test it both inside and outside and you can judge. You may realize sufficient strength with your inside option. Check the internet for your specific question...it has a World of information.

Thanks for the feedback, just to update the situation I bought a more expensive HDMI cable made by Belden, same problem no signal when using HDMI. I was going to switch the box as well but I guess this is useless. I guess all you can do is complain until verizon fios comes to my area

This antenna picks up the free digital signals mandated by. Feds for local broadcast. If you want the hbo, shotime, discover, hiStory channel, amc, tcm and other excluive shows vs.local content only you will still need to subscribe to a cable , dish or uverse service. My brother has an antenna only to. Panasonic LED 50" tv. And he is happy with the 43 local stations most are in high def. He also has a wifi source for acquiring netflix movies which helps take the place of the exclusive channels he no longer receives. Hope thia helps.

Hi, I'm in CT as well, 52 miles from the NYC transmitters. I was curious if you ending up using this antenna. If so, what kind of results have you had? I'm thinking of doing an attic mount but may go rooftop if needed. Where did you mount it? Have you noticed any seasonal issues with it (I'm concerned about when the trees are in bloom)? Thanks

Yes. I hooked up a $10 twenty-year old double bow-tie uhf antenna and pulled in about 40 over the air DTV broadcasts. I got all the network (CBS, NBC,ABC, FOX, UPN, WB, PBS) HD signals PERFECTLY. I live in Queens, NY and from my 25th story window I have line-of-sight with Empire State Bldg, so your actual mileage may vary.
