Buy TWO of them, and wire them in series, you'll get 360 miles then! lol

Says it only gets 1080p. What happens if your TV station 180 miles away broadcasts in 720P? Maybe there is a mod for that?

Interesting that it's 1080p, since no broadcast TV stations broadcast 1080p.

Well, I bet you can get 180 miles. Put it on top of a mountain, say Pikes Peak and point it at Cheyenne. Probably not a good example, as the Denver stations are almost in a direct line. But when I lived in Fort Collins, I used to get pretty reliable reception with a modest antenna from the Lookout Mountain stations in Golden. Many could be received with rabbit ears.

All a matter of height/line of sight and sufficient xmitter power.
