I see this is UHF, but are others able to get digital channels 2-13? I'm about 25-30 miles away from the three towers I want and all are VHF range.

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.

Yes, On my antenna I can receive digital channels. I not sure how far my antenna is from main antenna but I believe is about the same. It does help to rotate the antenna to get the best signal.

I haven't had any luck with high VHF channels with this antenna. An amplified leaf antenna did better.

I can't tell you for sure. I am in Anchorage,AK and there is a station that is only 16 miles from me and I have to move the antenna just for that station sometimes. I get the other 2 networks just fine. This was the 4th antenna I tried and it was better than the others.

All major TV channels are digital. Most are in the UHF range, but some are on the high band of the VHF band (channels 6-13). Your reception will vary greatly on how far you are from the transmitters, buildings, hills and mountains, and the like.

This is a VHF HIGH and UHF antenna, so it doesn't receive channels 2 through 7 (VHF LOW). But very few stations actually use VHF LOW these days. For example, in the Indianapolis area, we have Ch 6 that shows as (virtual) 6.1, but their physical channel # is 25. Of around 100 channels within 80 or so miles, not one is VHF LOW anymore. If your TV scanned for channels, and whatever is supposed to be on 3 isn't there, you might have one of the few VHF LOW stations still around. You can check a website like Rabbitears dot info for a very detailed list of your areas stations. Only if your ch. 3 is actually above 7, could the mast height be the problem, but there are a LOT of possibilities. ... Good luck to you. :)

It all depends on the repeater and location, it is also possible to buy a better antenna for the unit (need an adaptor) - I am able to hit a mountain repeaters 20+ miles away so terrain is more important in this instance. UHF and VHF seem to both work reasonably well - a lot of radio for a few $$ - I find I'm using it more than my expensive Kenwood or Yaseu do to low cost and small size - no biggy if I drop it or it gets stolen - be sure and get the programming cable to make life much easier - 73 KC0OH

There's NO SUCH THING as a digital antenna. TV is broadcast by radio waves. It makes NO DIFFERENCE to the antenna if the waves are modulated in digital or old style analog, they're still just radio waves. The digital decoding happens inside the TV, not in the antenna. ANY TV antenna will work. Your reception will depend on how good the antenna is, where it's placed, & how far the TV stations are. Beware those flat or mini antennas are designed for only UHF frequency reception & will not pick up VHF stations well unless they're real strong & you're real close to the station. Except for a large attic or rooftop UHF/VHF antenna, the only other antennas designed to do well with the VHF TV frequencies will be your old fashioned rabbit ears antennas. So look up what frequencies the stations in your area are broadcasting on. In many areas, they're all on the UHF bands but not always, & you can't tell by the channel number. In my area, channel 67, which has 4 great sub-channels actually broadcasts on the old VHF channel 7 frequency. Rabbit ears pick it up, but no small or flat antenna would. Meanwhile channel 7, the ABC affiliate in my area, actually broadcasts on the old UHF channel 38 channel frequency. Don't buy into "digital optimized" or "digital ready antennas" it's meaningless sales jargon. On the air TV still just radio waves. You just need a good antenna that will pick up the frequencies in your area. A big attic or rooftop antenna will get a lot more stations, than an indoor one. But if you live near a city where all the big networks are within a few miles, a cheap simple antenna might be good enough. But get rabbit ears if any of them still broadcast on the VHF TV band. Usually extending them no more than 15"-18" is good enough for VHF. If all your stations are near, & on UHF frequencies, just hang one of those little or flat "digital" antennas on a window or wall.

I believe plasma is still high definition and it should still work just as well. I would suggest going on the Web for antenna pointing directions for your particular area for best results. I'm only 15 miles from broadcasting towers and receive 22 channels which is great concidering where I live (Prescott Valley, Az). The reception is fantastic!

I cannot receive any low band vhf signals. I am fairly close to the broadcasting and get 3 channels.

Possibly. NBC in your region is channel 11.1, but is actually broadcast on 10. A UHF Antenna (like this) will pick up high band VHF channels (which end at 14.) TV Fool (a website used to map coverage) says it has a strong signal to your area, but ti depends if where you live is hilly, or obscured by trees and also the height of the antenna.

It depends upon the signal strength, but, from my experience, I doubt it. I was only able to get the channels from two networks with a third occasionally and I live just a few miles outside the city.

IF VHF is below channel 13, yes. I picked up the channel 6- 3 pbs stations less than 30 miles away and channel 17- 3 uhf stations over 36 miles away. I was not supposed to receive by their chart. The main thing is moving the antenna around until you pick up the stations particularly for the farther stations which were digital (17). The rain did not bother reception, but the snow did.Although I could pick up the stations high on my first floor wall, the reception was better on the second floor.

sorry, i can't answer that. most of my signals are from the closest big city which is 20 miles away, but i get excellent signals from those channels. hope this helps.
1201813
I would check http://dtv.gov/maps for your area. It matters how many miles you are from the towers that send out the signal.

Dimple,I got this antenna for mother-in-law and she is very pleased with the reception of both UHF and VHF channels. She is receiving two channels I am aware of that are 30+ miles away on VHF.Also remember that there are factors that will affect you signal...such as obstructions, trees, mountain ranges, the height you have your antenna set up in the air, etc. Anyway, hope this helps you out.

Not entirely true, for example, CBS is broadcasting in VHF here in Chicago. I had problems with reception till I bought the old fashioned rabbit ears antenna. However, the indoor HDTV Zenith antenna (now sold as Philips), which is supposedly UHF only, still gives me CBS reception too, but I'm located downtown Chicago. In addition, I read somewhere that CBS is going to double their digital TV signal broadcasting power in February, so I expect good results with this antenna (just bought it).

Hummm...I don't know what you mean by analog TV because to the best of my knowledge all non-cable stations are required to broadcast in digital. This means your local stations should be broadcasting in digital. My local stations are 2, 5, 7, 9, and 11 on what I believe is called VHF and 20, 26, 32, 50, 60, and 66 on UHF. They all come in, after you use the scan function, via a digital signal. Most of these channels have duplicates of which one reads "Digital". This suggests that there are two or more signals. Perhaps one is analog. Either way I think you'll be able to get your channels. In fact, I think the A in ATSC is for analog.

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
