True but when you do get the digital signals they are so much better. Almost hard to believe that you can get that quality "over the air". In fact, if I can receive the station over the air, I will watch the over the air broadcast instead of the same broadcast over (non-HD) DirecTV. Doesn't seem logical...
If you are looking for an antenna to use on the boat, consider one of the 12V car antennas that the "pimp my ride" generation are using for the in car TVs. They have a 12V amplifier built in. You can find them on ebay for around $20 if I recall correctly. Mine works great. Sam Al Thomason wrote: > Might be OK.
