Ranges published by manufacturers and/or sellers of TV antennas are mostly speculation and sales pitch. The beam width is inversely proportional to the antennas range, the longer the range, the narrower the beam width. This site (HDTVPrimer.com) is old (circa 2003) but it gives a good primer...

Yesterday I noticed the Guide on my Wireless Joey 4 looked different. Today the Mrs mentioned it too. Here is my H3 Guide. And here is the Guide on my wireless Joey 4. Previously my memory seems to think they were the same. We prefer the Hopper 3 Guide but there is nothing I can find on the...
