Just moved - Now rabbit ears and SuperSonic HD Digital Antenna do not bring in 1 channel. Think this one will?

It depends on where you live. I had a friend look up at a Radio Shach a chart as to where I live and what channels I should be able to get. Also, the chart told me which direction it needs to face, and in my case, it did need to be on the second floor level, I'm near an airport . Hope his helps!

Sounds like you will have conflict of two signals on the same bands. I have seen houses with two dish or antennas, but I suppose there is a switch in thier line or receivers.

Yes. I live in the San Fernando Valley (CA) and my TV picked up 101 digital channels. I was also skeptical at first but this proved me wrong when I tried it this morning. The channels look great like others have said, although I noticed one channel, Fox TV (11.1), was blotchy and my TV eventually gave up looking for signal in about 10-20 seconds. One thing to keep in mind is that when your TV is auto-scanning for channels, make sure you set it to "Antenna" or "Air" (and NOT Cable), otherwise you will probably just see 1 analog channel like I did :).

HD receiver and HD subscription from Directv, does work. The real problem with most systems is the antenna is not able to be connected to a strong signal. Amplifires may help, but is only a poor substitute for a good signal.

No this will not take the place of the digital box. Only bring in channels clear that it can pick up, mostly local channel.

Yes, the digital antenna receives signals that the basic rabbit ear's model does not. I would have to nightly reposition the rabbit ears to get any type of reception. The rabbit ears get interference from our human bodies so much so that I would often have to stand in the corner of the room in order to get any type of reception. Sometimes I would not be able to get any reception from the rabbit ears. I never have had any human interference with the digital antenna. Once I found the right position for the digital antenna I did not ever have to reposition it again. You do NOT need the digital antenna with any amplified signal. In fact, the amplified digital signal got worse reception than without the amplification.

hi, yes, from satellite 101, if you are too far from home probably you will not get local channels. do you have hd receivers? this dish antenna is for only standard definitions channels. it doesnot work model h25 or genies hr34,hr44. thanks

I have had no problem getting OTA digital stations. The box has a connection for a satellite, dont have a dish, but I see no reason it should not work. What the box does is select what input you send to each tv. It doesnt care what the signal is, it just switches it.

Hi,I have used the simple rabbit ear antenna or you can order one of the not so pricey HD antenna`s, either one works really well.

I kind of thought that that was the situation. I just got a new HDTV and am a little worried, that in a few days I will be loosing two of my channels (CBS, NBC). My hope is that what I have heard is true, that they will be boosting the signals when they no longer need to carry the analog channels. I have been waiting to purchase a new antenna untill after the conversion.

I'm guessing you're in a menu that allows you to select a source for your incoming signal. If so, it looks like it may be set to CABLE. You will want to switch or select ANTENNA.

I'm not sure what you are looking for but we got the antenna and it was cheaply made and didn't get 1 channel with it hope that helps you:)

I said in my earlier post that I did everything I could which meant I rescanned and also tried the newly purchased more powerful antenna. I received all the stations clearly but not the digital signals. I am in a metropolis city. This tv evidently does not pick up digital signals. I did get over the air signals from the first day I bought it but the question was if it would pick up digital signals after Feb. 17. Even after recanning the test today proved to me that with or without an antenna the tv does not pick up digital signals in a big metropolis area with many tv stations.

Try moving it around and rescan it every time you move it. That's what I did and I finally got 25 channels. Move it up higher, down lower, across the room a bit, and then to the other side. Keep moving and scanning until you get more channels. I don't know what else to tell you. I hope it works better for you.

the antenna does not have channels... it only gathers signals from available sources for the converter box to work with... it may allow the converter box to lock on to more channels if they are available - maybe better signal strength than rabbit ears... i have found out that mine is directional... pointing one way {say north-south} i get X channels with signals and i can lock on Y of them... point {east-west} get some of the some of the same channels and can lock onto others that were not clear on the [north-south] setting... also changing from flat to verticle makes a difference in signal strength.... i live in indianapolis not far from the transmitting towers and still have the directional issue... hope this helps

Not sure what model you have. The HDTVI is not omni-directional. I can tell you that you won't get as many channels without an amplifier. And I have found that these "omni-directional" antennae still need to be pointed in a certain direction to better pick up a signal.

My TV is analog and I pulled signal with no converter box. But the antenna wasn't great for my area, which could have been a geographical issue, but a cheap $10 pair of rabbit ears worked best for me.
