How close to towers do you have to be? I live in the country &amp; about 40 miles from Orlando will indoor antenna pick up that distance?

I am not sure. You can find out by checking out http://www.antennaweb.org/. They map the distance of any signal towers to your zip code with relative strength of signal.

This is a directional antenna. You need to have a window with southern exposure and you need a clear site toward tower with no buildings or huge trees in line with the tower. If you have an eastern or western window and can point the antenna in a southerly direction, it may work. With my application I was able to pick up stations 25-30 miles away but had no obstructions and was able to aim antenna directly at towers.

For sure. I live 40-60 miles from various towers in Detroit, Toledo and Lansing, and am in the woods. Mine is hanging indoors in my attic and I still get reception. I purchased based on feedback of reception strength at a distance.

I have in my attic of my house. I live about 25 miles from Cleveland Ohio. It works great. My sister lives 16 miles farther than me and I know she has excellent reception. I bought a 3 way booster for my other sets from radio shack and its been very good for me and another friend also.

Yes, I live about 20 miles out of Seattle's tower antennas. Works perfectly hidden in my attic.

It doesnt really matter what you live in, what matters most is how far away or what terrain is in between your broadcast stations. I live about 30 miles away from the local stations and I am happy with the antenna. (also a mobile home)

The answer depends on where you live. This Over-The-Air (OTA) antenna does a fantastic job of pulling in signals that other antennas would struggle with. The best way to find out what local stations are in the area is by doing a web search based on your address. (http://www.antennaweb.org/Address.aspx). This will guide you to the local towers and help to determine the best direction for placement.

We get abut 40 channels, but we live in a fairly large city. I would suggest ordering one of those Clear Channel antennas from the internet. They're cheap and they work really well.

I don't know, but can tell you that our broadcast towers are about 25 miles away..tho they are up high on a ridge with nothing in the way. It works fine at this distance.

Hi, you should get those channels, this antenna has more than a 50 mile radius. Give it a shot and put it up high where no interference will block you signal. Hope this helps.

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.

I am in California so I do not know south Florida. You should go on line through ClearStream and check with your address and they will give you the distance from your location to the tower. The range for my antenna is 48 miles. However this antana is for only UHF stations, It will not pick up VHF, check your channels and be-sure they are all UHF. ClearStream makes an antenna that will receive both.

It depends where you mount the antenna. Mine is mounted inside my attic, 2 stories up, and I get all the Detroit area tv stations real good.They range from 2 miles to 40 miles away.

OK, near a window? In the city? Let me suggest this: In the center pin of your coax plug, unbend a paperclip, carefully insert it into that coax in on your tv and connect a long wire or :conductive" material to it (foil). If you rescan with that in and STILL get nothing, unlikely but may happen, it's your location. If it picks up anything, the antenna's a dud. If it works, gauge what you can get from a homebrew antenna and go up from there. This may not be strong enough to hit your local channels. I know of a 50 mile radius antenna at $60; before you throw in the towel, try the paperclip trick. THe HomeWorx is inexpensive; returns are "meh." Good luck!

I live outside Detroit and I"ll get the local channels, approx. 15, but I have to move the antenna for some of them. All the stations are within 10 miles of my house and the TV is on my screened in patio. I expeced more from an amplified antenna. I also have a cabin in Michigans Upper Peninsula and when they switched from analog to digital broadcasting all the the stations that people could get with the rabbit ear antenna were lost and unless you had cable TV you would get nothing. If you wanted reception you had to buy a tower with a costly antenna and amplifier to get reception. Its obvious to me that the digital signal doesn't reach as far as tha old analog.Terry P I live outside Detroit and I"ll get the local channels, approx. 15, but I have to move the antenna for some of them.

It will work better than any other inside the home antenna that you would see at the store. Be sure to have it as high as you can up there, and pointed toward the broadcasting towers. I have mine outside, and pick up stations 60 miles away.

I live about 40 miles from the nearest tower. It didn't work for me being that far away but 13 miles away should work.
