I live @ SW 50 miles away from DC. Will it work for me?

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.

every area has different characteristics, and RF interference, my signals are making it over 50 miles and sharp, if the broadcast towers are unobstructed between you and them, i.e. on top of tall buildings it shouldn't be a problem, there are online resources to give you estimated channel reception, take what it says and the Mohu should out perform that substantially

I don't believe the wall will be any problem at all. Mine works fine at 50 feet but I have not tried any greater distance. They claim longer. I would guess that claim is right.

Yes, as long as you are no more than 50 miles from the tower. You may need an electrical amplifier for the signal, but I have five amplified antennas in my attic, alligned with the Terk map online to match the compass setting for each station, and my HDTV off air is better than my FIOS, which I have also to get faster internet than I could with a DSL connection.

It probably will. Best would be to inquire at Trendnet Tech Support, which will also be able to adjust the settings in your computer to make it more compatible.It's not a bad unit- does reach 100' from one building to another, though it ceases to load pages efficiently after 50 ft. Inside the first building it's superb. Am using an Actiontec wireless modem.

Also out from mainstream cities ,this booster worked very well for us. We are forty plus miles from a major city and get Good reception from a large city 60 miles away.

I can say it will do it, but you could hook up an external antenna to the back, which would definitely help. I bought one for my Mom, who lives about 75 miles from New York City, and it worked o.k. for her, but on a powerful station, WCBS. You could also look into getting an antenna booster system. C. Crane sells a "Twin Ferrite AM Antenna system. The way it works is that you mount a Ferrite antenna outdoors, somewhere where you can get a good signal, like up high, not near any obstructions, etc. A coaxial wire brings that signal into the house [you need to make a small hole], and then there is a receiver sections that you can tune to the one station that you want to receive, and the receiver has an antenna that rebroadcasts the signal from that station amplified. I looked into hooking that system up to get some weak AM stations, but haven't gotten around to it yet. The reviews for it are very encouraging. Living in the mountains might make getting your stations difficult, and also it depends on whether you listen day or night. Usually the signals travel longer at night, but the stations also cut back on their power in order not to interfere with each other. I am sorry that I can't give you a definite answer. One thought is, if there is a Ham Radio club in the area, try connecting with them. They usually have a good idea. Last thought is internet radio or Satellite radio like Serius. That is what my kids finally did when they couldn't get the AM and FM stations they wanted, even though it costs them.

I don't think that will be a problem for you at all. We have a smaller house but live on several acres and I have been probably 20-30 yards away and still had reception. Just watch the battery. Keep it plugged in unless you need to walk off

It depends on the strength of the signal. Many signals are only designed to carry a certain distance. I would think that 45 miles is stretching it, but it's possible. Let the community know how you made out.

The range is about 40 miles; I live in a rural community and only receive 2 channels. It was worth it to have at least that so I have access to news & weather.

Derickson1472, I am not sure. I live in Washington, DC and so far, we have not had a problem with it.

I don't know how big the range is. It worked ok for me but the local stations are very close by. It probably average. It is going to depend where you live and the geography between you and the broadcast towers.

Wherever there is a WiFi access point and a good signal, then it will most likely work...I say give it a try.

I really doubt that it would take in that range. But, I really can't help. For I'm only about 35 miles away and it's working fine.

This is exactly what I just did :) As long as there is a connection without a password 1-2 miles around you, your good :) Best investment ever.

Unfortunately, it won't work 12 blocks away...I tried to use it in my Garage and it worked, but the minute I went beyond my garage....It no longer worked! I hear it depends on the area you live in too...Rural or City! In the city it only works around my house!

Howdy Ron, If the company you deal with already gives you local channels then you can receve them, but only if you stay in you local area for reception. Meaning for example if you live and receive local service in the Philadelphia pa. area and you travel to Virginia, or anywhere outside you local service area, you'll not be able to receive any local service no matter what. I hope i've been of some help. I know this to be fact as I've tried from all over the U.S.. If you leave you home local service you'll not receive the local stations....that's the bottom line! Thanks! Carl

I haven't tried it from that distance. My receiver is in my shop, but that's 45-50 feet from my den.
