There are too many models of August antenna, which one is the best? DTA245? DTA250?

I bought the DTA240. It works excellent. In fact, I bought 2 for different t.v.s

I live in Waldorf MD. I am about 35 miles from our towers as well. I tried 3 antennas. Clearstream 2V, DB8e, and the Winegard HD 7694P. The Clearstream 2V worked pretty good, DB8e not as good for me, and the Winegard worked the best by far. Higher is better. I ended up with the 7694 a preamp and distribution amplifier to send throughout the house. I got about 30 channels on the Clearstream but it took a lot of tweaking. The DB8e never dialed in as well. The 7694 worked great the moment I set it down.

Any good scanner antenna designed to cover the frequencies you want to listen to will work great. A discone will cover a large frequency spread and work well. There are a number of good quality commercial multi band scanner antennas which have great performance. Try to get the antenna as high as you can, use good quality coax, the longer the run the better quality you should use to reduce loss in the coax.

High Gain Digital TV Aerial - Portable Indoor/Outdoor Digital Antenna for USB TV Tuner / ATSC Television / DAB Radio - With Magnetic BaseThis one was better just do not stand in front of it or block it and it was under $10And although it may say no signal change the channel or move in direction of any window, worked great!

The price and the quality is different. But do not get me wrong both are great. I just bought the ANT122F because of the price and the great reviews. I spent $60.00 on a antenna from Target and it was terrible. This little antenna was great! I do not have cable, however, I though I had cable after connecting it to my TV. Hope this helps.

Yes, HD1850. Sorry this was not made clear in my review. I made the assumption my review would be attached to the actual product as it was displayed and identified on Amazon's site. Great antenna... Still loving it!

I agree with L. Cheng, Amazon allows returns so I would purchase and return as "defective" if you don't get the channels you expect or if it does not perform as expected. Also, try this website for channels available in your area, but it would of course depend on where you put the antenna.http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/dtvmaps/

I have been using it for over a year and it has worked well. I have one Chicago antenna and one for Milwaukee, no problems.

This antenna will give you excellent reception for whatever broadcast stations are in your area. It does not pick up cable or satellite--just the broadcast stations, so no converter box is required. I suggest that follow the instructions as to locating the best placement for the antenna. It does make a difference where the antenna is located. Ours works quite well. We are not in a major city so we do not receive as many stations as another might. By the way, I found that MOHU has as fine a Customer Service as any that I have found. No delay in responses and very helpful. This was a good buy.

Thanks. This is the same info I received from Mohu.I did purchase one. I am about 35 miles from Philadelphia. I am able to get the VHF channel 6 (ABC) if I rotate the antenna 90 degrees.

They are both very similar in the technology used for the antenna. I have used the Amazon amplified version for over a month now and am very happy with the unit. I did find that I had to manually add some of the channels as my automatic scan did not pick up many of the channels. Once I did the manual add, I get channels that I didn't even have available with cable. I live in an area where I get Detroit and Toledo channels over the air.

Knocks here. I have this antenna on all my barf ends and are the stock antenna for the uv82. They work the others only marginally on the 70cm.440 freqs. But not as good as theThese. I have 6 of them and compare with a diamond rho which is twice as long. Buy it. It is a good buy. Kc4cqs. Extra class license. THE FI IS SUPPLIED WITH THE SAME ANT. AS THE USA SERIES. TRY A UV8. U WOULD LIKE IT

Short answer - I'm not 100% sure, but when I do a search for that model it shows the same antenna as my model, which is the Delphi SkyFi-2. Although the description doesn't list it specifically, I knew from the picture that it was the same one that had currently been on my car - the one Circuit City installed with my XM (shows you how long I've had it-CC hasn't been in business for years). Hope that was helpful :)

The antenna suggested in the Amazon Ad is a dual band VHF/UHF antenna and is not the correct antenna for the 220 band. If you buy this radio look elsewhere for a 220 band antenna, and not the one suggested by Amazon.

If your looking for a great antenna that is optimized for the new digital TV frequencies, check out the HD Stacker antenna at Denny's Antenna Service (http://www.dennysantennaservice.com/hd_stacker_tv_antenna-html.html). This is a much smaller antenna and I found it worked very well for me. Price is $99 (on sale). Good luck!
