An analogue antenna laundered through a marketing department.
Not in NYC..but NYC metro extends into Pennsylvania.. LA is huge too..I mean NYC viewing area not NYC
I'm using a 44 year old antenna to receive digital signals. The antenna doesn't know the difference.Radio waves are radio waves. There is no such thing as a digital antenna. That is all just marketing.
I love going to the store and seeing antennas marked that they are HD compatible.
BS. A $30 indoor antenna is all that is needed in most metro and suburban areas..anywhere within 30 miles of a transmission tower. Is it as "maintenance free" as a cable/satellite hook up? Maybe not. One may have to adjust the antenna to receive one channel or another. But if I can receive channels from two markets (Over two dozen channel with sub-channels) with a $30 powered indoor antenna without even aiming it at anything in a tree-filled, hilly area with low HAAT antenna placement, I know it is not difficult to receive digital TV signals.
What many fail to recognize, or even deny, is that what used to translate to ghost images on analog channels (multi-path) will kill the picture and sound on the digital signal. Actually LOWERING the antenna rabbit ears, or turning the UHF loop away from the station will improve reception because it cuts down on multipath issues.
See, you bought a "digital ready" antenna!I'm using a 44 year old antenna to receive digital signals. The antenna doesn't know the difference.
Let me put it thus way..back in the day a large portion of NYC viewing area could receive distants because they cannot easily receive a TV signal..once charlie lost his lawsuit we can only receive NYC stations..most cable companies switched to fiber feeds after 911 because they can no longer receive a reliable ota signal from the empire state building..at least where I live..in smaller metro areas I am sure a 30 dollar indoor antenna works just dandy but unless you actually live in NYC it is pretty useless most of the NYC dmaSomeone needs to look up the definition of "Most people", "Metro and Suburban areas" versus everyone, and Designated Marketing Area (DMA).
Now I need to go to the store to buy those HD sunglasses I keep hearing about on TV

I agree but let him try and pickup a vhf channel..the big tall skyscrapers played havoc with the old vhf analog signals to the point that most stations built UHF repeaters which disappeared after cable became popularI will tell that to my cousin who lives in manhattan on a low floor and uses a PAPER CLIP stuck into the RF antenna jack (no joke) to receive local channels OTA that he's not able to receive locals in NYC reliably.
Just check Showtime on DA, and that still looks good. They just released they extended for a week I thought.
No sports on CBS all access..just get hulu +Is CBS All Access available on Roku? If so, Dish could send out refurb Rokus with a monthly credit again, like they did with AMC. (If the extensions end without an agreement.)
Damn, whoever made that antenna practically knew the future of TV signals!See, you bought a "digital ready" antenna!
No sports on CBS all access..just get hulu +
Ohh well1. CBS All Access not on Roku YET.
