I live in an apartment building between San Diego and LA. I tried indoor GE antennas. The first, at a price $35 did not pick up a single channel. I returned it to Home Depot. The second GE model, Futura, at a price $50, picked up a couple channels from San Diego, and nothing from LA.

Then I did some research, and learned that TV antennas can not be made small and cute. Just read dennysantennaservice.com.

So I selected the biggest antenna available. It's really huge. I put it on a Skywalker Signature Series 5ft Dish Tripod, on a short mast pipe, and the tripod is not attached anywhere. It is sitting on my balcony, because the apartment manager would not let me to install it on the roof or attach anywhere to the property.

But it is not necessary to put it on the roof.
There are dozens of channels from both San Diego and LA, perfect digital picture, better then it was on cable.
I have a single TV, so I'm not using either amplifier or preamplifier.
Investment in this antenna and the tripod at 24 bucks, - this investment will pay off in about 3 months, compared with the basic cable service which I disconnected.
Just one word of caution. If you live in a hurricane zone like Florida, do not blame the antenna.

This antenna is amazing and amusing, - especially for my wallet. I will save more than 500 bucks every year.
Go for a big antenna, pick up the free signal off the air and save some green !

Channelmaster Crossfire 3671 and 7777 Pre-Amp


If your like us and live on the fringe of mainland society, or in any case WELL AWAY from your signal sources, you'll need a solid `deep fringe' antenna to dial them in. With the switch to digital, many fringe areas that received analog signal in good order, lost out. Before Digital, or BD, we got our favorite channels on a clarity scale anywhere from well to acceptable. And while AD gave us ONE channel only with our old antenna, with our Crossfire 3671 and CM7777 pre-amp feeding a Vizio VW26 we not only get 20 some odd channels including all our favorites (except the weak powered Channel 9), but we get them in high definition and for free!

We do have to tweak the antenna from time to time and we do lose our signal on occasion. I have to attribute this to atmospheric vagaries. Frankly, we brought in several of the leading deep fringe antennas for comparison purposes and NOTHING beat the Crossfire. At our distance from signal, I don't expect to get reception on a par with sat or cable. Oddly, I can secure transmission more often than not by playing with the leads going into the tele. Must be electromagnetic fields. I thought these cables were shielded. Guess not.

On our remote island off the coast of Washington State, Seattle is the location of most channels we're looking to get and it is roughly 70 miles distant. We have a good southern facing toward the signal emission point at 139 degrees, SSE. There are tall trees in the vicinity of the house but the antenna points through a single branch and just clear of the horizon. We have it mounted in a low tech wooden cradle on the roof of an outbuilding (roughly 20 feet up).

If you've got problems bringing in reception due primarily to distance from source, you might just want to reach to the top shelf and pick up a Crossfire and save yourself some time and money working up to it eventually.

Highly recommended!
