- Don't do it
I bought a couple of cheap rabbit ears type antennas for TVs in each of the guest rooms and bought the TV-55 as an over the air antenna for a new LCD in the master bedroom.After trying all combination of TVs and antennas, this is by far the worst performer.I am in Fairfax County outside of Washington DC and only 15 or so miles from the broadcast towers, but this antenna has trouble picking up more than 1 of the 3 network broadcasts in the area.Save your money and look for something else.

- save your money
We live about 17 mile from the TV towers. When we decided to drop cable I stuck a coat hanger in the end of the cable and was able to get pretty good reception with a digital convert box hooked to my old TV. I figured a real antenna would give me better reception and possibly more channles. This antenna doesn't work any better than the coat hanger. I should have saved my money and stuck with the coat hanger.

Getting good HD reception. Analog is not as good. Have it mounted high with direct line of sight to TV transmitters. Very small footprint and multiple mounting options. Not unsightly like many traditional antennas. Doesn't require a rotator either. Don't know if it would work inside -- Only using it outside. Definitely recommend it though.
Rating: - Will probably work for most applications
I live in an urban environment probably about 20 miles from most of the local TV towers.When you are looking to get over the air digital TV with my proximity to the local TV towers (probably up to 50 miles), this is a cheap way to go without having cable or satellite.I just lay it behind my couch with no set up and it works for the most part.Sometimes I have to stand it up, twirl it around, lean it this way or that way or whatever to get a certain channel to come in.So make sure you give ...
