tvfool(dot)com will help you know what to expect based on where your antenna is, what direction it points, how high it is, etc... http://www.tvfool.com

I can't get ABC. It's listed as a Hi-V channel on the government website, so that must mean something.

I agree with L. Cheng, Amazon allows returns so I would purchase and return as "defective" if you don't get the channels you expect or if it does not perform as expected. Also, try this website for channels available in your area, but it would of course depend on where you put the antenna.http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/dtvmaps/

This is unfortunately a highly varying answer. Your best bet short of purchasing is to check out http://dtv.gov/maps, enter in your address, and get a sense for what you can receive. In my experience, we received everything we needed except for ABC and the main PBS station in our area. In NYC, you may have additional problems with line of sight given tall buildings. I'd actually recommend purchasing the product though, trying it out (it's very simple to put up and connect to the TV, experiment with a few different placements using the dtv.gov compass directions as a starting point), and then returning it if you don't get the channels you need. Personally, I was surprised at how much we got, and while we occasionally get static/artifacts on a few channels, I'm still impressed.

It sure will, browse to C, and you will have subset channels 1-8. Starting at 5705 channel 1 to 5945 channel 8.

Any channels picked up by an over the air antenna are going to be your local stations..........CBS, ABC, NBC, maybe FOX, etc. It will NOT pick up anything like ESPN, CNN, etc. as these are cable or satellite channels. It will also pick up your local PBS channels. I live in a fringe area and get 14 local channels with a different version of the same antenna. If you want more than just your locals, you probably need to get something like a Roku and use your internet. But for basic, local channels......this cannot be beat. Hope this helps.

yes. if you have a 'tube' tv you will need a convertor, but if you have a new digital t.v. your tv has a convertor built in to the set. with this, you will receive all local channels. with mine, i receive 53 channels, but that will depend on where you live

Yes, there are 3 different channels. We have 3, and can race them all. We've had it for a few years and its held up amazingly. This is a great toy.

Atleast a dozen or so. I am near the Canadian US border and I get a mix of Canadian and American stations.

It does an excellent job of recieving digital channels. All you need is an antenna. I get about 50 channels perfectly in the New York City metro area.

Yes but you will not be able to pick up a lot of channels. I know that I can only get about 5 channels.

Yes. The radio channels are a standard. Some of the "sub" channels may be unique, but there will be a way to find a common channel with other 42 or 22 channel radios.

I know I get 2 thru 12 and 13 thru the high 50's but not sure about 69. I use my Tivo and it scans for channels and I don't think we have any channels that high in my area, but I assume you will pickup whatever is being broadcast in your area.

Hi , actually it had around 400 channels , most of it arabic , i saw MBC Egypt, Rotana Egypt , ALJAZERA Egypt , i am not sure about alnile ?? may be it there ??

No, not for channels that require subscription service (CNN, Showtime, etc.). For local programming (and the increasing number of HD channels) and for PBS, the reception is crystal clear. Those are what I watch now and I no longer pay for cable or satellite.

I couldn't get more than 2 channels living in a city, I got a different one that picked up well over 40 channels.

I'm not sure what the range is. I live in Manhattan and though it mostly works ok it's not without need of adjustment. I was hoping to place it in a convenient spot and forget about it but I have to adjust it often. Living in Manhattan I would opt for a more expensive and hopefully more powerful antenna.

It's supposed to be as many as you want as long as the code is set the same between all units. I have had issues with the 2nd one I attached changing channels but I think that is a remote issue....signal still works fine.
