how do I know if it will work at my house and what stations I will get prior to buying it?

I don't know about you, but mine brings in all the weird channels as well as the networks. I live 17 miles in a straight line from the local broadcast towers. When it's windy outside, sometimes a station will not come in. Also during rainstorms. You should go to antennaweb.org, where you input your address and they tell you what kind of antenna should work for you. I've found the flat antenna works a little better than a more 3-dimensional one, but your mileage may vary. Amazon's return policy is pretty liberal though. If it doesn't work for you, they'll take it back. Just be gentle with the packaging. I don't know about you, but mine brings in all the weird channels as well as the networks.

http://www.antennaweb.org/ will show you what kind of antenna will work and how far you are away from the tower.

You can also view the website http://www.tvfool.com> "Check your address for Free TV" and put in your home address. It uses Google Maps technology to scope your location and give you a spectrum map to see in which directions you can pick up most of your channels. The top of the spectrum map is North. Pick which side of your home the sun sets in which is West and you will be able to determine where its best to place the antenna.

Borrow an old antenna from your grandparents and see if you can pick up any channels. It should pick up at least the main VHF channels easily. The newer ones like this model should pick up a few more than the old antennas. PBS channels along with CBS ABC NBC and FOX.

Yes it will work perfectly. You just need to find an open station. Use this site to find a clear channel http://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/vacant

I'm not sure. I know it works very well in the City. The stations are about 28 miles from my house.

Hi, KJC. I purchased this antenna for a home on a lake. I went directly to the Mohu website and entered in my zip code. It gave me a decent idea what stations I could receive. There is also a few websites that can help you get an idea what stations broadcast from your area. Try the following: www.antennaweb.org; www.fcc.gov; www.antennapoint.com; www.tvfool.com or www.antenna.tv. They will help you to understand what stations transmit the closest to your area. I purchased this antenna after some research. I am very happy with the quality of the reception and the number of stations. You might have to play with it a bit but it works great.

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!

I just bought one and will let you know when I test it. I have one AM Stereo station in my area...

It would be a matter of distance between the units since they are a RF device. Different rooms or parts of the house should work. Check the range in the specs

ok,well,as i just stated in my last post, i have already gone to antennaweb.org.and their information must be taken with a grain of salt.the predictions for what you can and cannot get seem to be educated guesses,but do not pan out (at least in my case). but anyway,i already know that knowing the location of a transmitter generally helps.i only want information on different makes of converter boxes.

That is precisely why we bought this. But make sure you have good signal strength there. The converter can't convert any better than the quality of your signal. If your reception is bad, you may also need to get a better antenna.

Should work any where there is an active phone outlet. I've had mine for over a year and not had any problems hooking it up anywhere in the house. The Bluetooth feature works great too with a much better range and reception than most devices. It comes with a base that can be mounted to your kitchen should you ever want it there.

You will more than likely need a antenna, in my experience. You can set it up as basic cable with OTA.

It's now called SiriusXM which is what I have. The radio is available as a car kit or a home kit. Either way, one would need a power supply to supply either 12 volts (car) or if using a home kit in the car, one would need a small 120 volt converter which is what I have. The converter plugs into the cigarette lighter socket and provides the power for the home unit. A 100 watt converter would do the job nicely. The home kit comes with antenna and a fairly long, small diameter cable to mount the antenna outside unless you have a south facing window. I set my antenna on the dash because my car has a very large windshield and the reception is great. The only thing to seriously take into consideration is can the little antenna be put outside your bedroom and have a clear shot at the southern sky. If not, it probably wouldn't work in the house for you. There are outside antennas and mounts and extention cables available to overcome a north facing room. SiriusXM cam be made tp work in almost any location by purchasing the additional antenna hardware. I hope this hasn't been too confusing and answers your inquiry Oh, as far as monthly cost, they have a number of programs available depending on what all your listening preferences are. The music only package is the cheapest at just under $10, and the next package is around $15 per month.

i have satellite radio in mycar...what do i need to pay additional to connect the one in my house ?

Yes it will work fine. IF you have a signal. The problem with digital signals is that it is all or nothing. You get a perfect picture or none at all so you need a good antenna to get enough of a signal to work with.

When you purchase an antenna, make sure it's able to pick up both UHF and VHF. You may also choose to buy two separate antennas but that depends on your distance from the stations in your area. I got an antenna made by Antennas Direct and it works as advertised (and maybe just a little bit better than that). I have the Antennas Direct C2-V-CJM ClearStream 2-V Long Range UHF/VHF Indoor/Outdoor DTV Antenna with 20-Inch Mount. I'm about 35 miles from all of the stations and am very happy with this converter box. It's low priced and works.

Yes, as long you're using an activated receiver on your account it will work. Just mount and install, then align the dish and if its properly aligned it will see your channels.

You might pick up the stronger stations but chances are you need an antenna outside the house on a pole. Look at Denny's antennas dennysantennaservice( dot )com for some help. There should be an antenna selector map for your area.
