just an update... i got the silver sensor from buy.com. i got the same channels as i did with the samsung, but i now have NBC! i get KNTV (48.2) the antenna is mounted on a TV holder thing from IKEA, so its as high as possible.

im trying to decide between the silver sensor, which is around $30 on the internet, and the square shooter which is around $100. ill be using the antenna indoors, and i know the square shooter can get VHF. should i get the square shooter, or would i be fine saving my $$$ and getting the silver...

thanks, but i did that. im still waiting for their reply

hmm...well i just tried again for a 3rd time with D* HD eligibility rep, and he said KCRA is my affiliate because of my zip code. thats really strange because i only get kntv and kntv is san jose-san francisc-oakland. i dont know...i guess ill have to wait a few months for the NBC HD...

actually no i live in san francisco. should i be receiving the west coast NBC HD feed?
