Has anyone used this in the South Bay Area (San Jose)? I've tried just about every single other Indoor antenna (amplified) with poor results.

I have the Mohu curve in a house near Yosemite. I thought there was no chance I'd get any reception there, but can now get about 20 channels. I would think if it works in a remote area like this, you should have no trouble in San Jose. I think this antenna is great.

It's hard for me to say since I live in a metropolitan area. I will say that it worked no better than my original Mohu Leaf antenna, so I returned it. Check out http://www.antennaweb.org, you type in your zip and it will give you information about what antenna may work best and which stations you should receive.

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

Sure. For me the antenna worked better in my basement then on top of the house. Still it was very sensitive to placement. I think my local station were too close too strong and the antenna's internal amplifier was too much gain. Best advice is just to try it and see if it works for you. If not send it back. Good luck.

Over the past several years I find that the antenna is not the problem, but the repeater or usb adapter that has a poor signal. I am sending signals over 1/2 mile in a mobile home court (we have a lot of signal reflection/bounce) without too many problems. We are using a ASUS rt-n66u and Hawling HW3R1 repeaters or an usb adapter made by Sabrent or alpha. We have a response by the user of 3 - 5 seconds

Buy yourself an indoor leaf antenna. All the channels you mentioned and more are free if you are in range of the broadcast arrays.

I would check out : http://www.tvfool.com/ first,,, If I remember San Jose south od SF primarily up the Bay I would think it would be OK. I am high on a ridge behind 3 others, with tall evergreen trees All OVER. Get very Good reception. But take your time and check tv fool. Amazon will take it back i think within 30 days. Check on that first too.

I cannot answer about how well it will work in your area. I can say that after trying four other antennas, this one works great. Also, I called their customer service (about a minor issue/question) and they were very responsive. They state they will accept a return without question and I would tend to believe that.

Hello,I installed mine over a year ago and it works amazing up here in the mountains even with a steel building. I have 5 bars on my phone through out my 7,000 sq ft structure. As I remember I had to call Wilson and ask which antenna would be best for my system. I purchased whatever they told me to get...and it works awesome. If you are wondering...definitely call Wilson for your particular installation and location.

Hello Brandon, yes that was my idea too. I have attached an 9 dbi antenna that was 5 times the size of the original antenna. And there was totally no difference in range

Have you tried removing the antenna? That is about the only thing I can figure might help with that particular model. I have had a similar issue because it picks up some of my local stations and throws me off but without the antenna it seemed a bit better.

I'm using it as an ATSC (HD digital signal antenna). From what I can see when I do a channel scan, I get no VHF/UHF signals. Then again, that may be because there are no broadcasters in my area that still broadcast VHF/UHF.

This particular untit did not work 100% for me. It worked better than other units I tried but not enough to keep it. It MIGHT work for you. It was one of the better units I tried. My issue is not hills but buildings around me. I also tried to amplify the signal....the channel did come in a little better but still didn't come in clear and unbroken. I did get all other channels really clear, just not the one local channel. However, This was not the only brand that would not get the channel. I tried four different brands, none successfully received the channel. I am still looking for one that will get all the local channels where I live .... I cannot use an outside antenna (I'm in a condo) so I have to find one for inside. This unit was the best of the one's I tried. I would suggest you try it....you can always send it back.

This antenna is not made for VHF-LO so it will brobably be sub-par, where are you?, I think there is no more transmission in that band neither in the US or Canada. Not sur about Mexico though...

I have used my Crane Super USB antenna for a bit over a year; absolutely NO complaints using the single antenna, with dual USB connections on a laptop. As I said, I do connect using the 15-foot extension cable; makes antenna placement much easier. I agree with the comment below regards two antennas, but will readily admit that I'm NOT a techie; just a satisfied user. I put this product in the increasingly rare category of "works-as-advertised". Good luck with it, and post your results!

if the ad range is 60feet of RX power. Replace the stock antenna with a 2-3-4x higher dbi antenna (I believe this one features a RP-SMA antenna port vs the Miccus which is SMA port.) and you'll get a much better range and signal strength. I replaced my Miccus antenna with a 8dbi and i can basicly dance around the whole home in both TX and RX modes. But with the standard antenna i was only able to do half my home. And this is threw walls,etc. So if you get ether such. Highly suggest getting a upgrade antenna.

Apologies. Your question is more technical than I can answer. I just hooked the thing up and it worked (well). I run nothing more on the coax in my house than the antenna signal. I should add add that the signal strength has degraded somewhat (fewer channels) since I installed the amplifier in January, but the decrease in performance could be attributable to something other than the amp. Will investigate before winter.
