Urban signals are easily captured by small off-air antennas. Check out all the different styles of antennas that can be effective, and the yellow to light green in the antenna color chart. Suburban range can be up to 30-45 miles, and Antennacraft offers many mid-range antennas for this use, one that's designated green to light green in the antenna color chart. Rural reception can mean up to 100 miles away, and a larger antenna with an amplifier may be necessary. An antenna designated red, or with amplification, blue or violet, can work for these long distances.
RV use is one of the HDView360 Mini-State's best applications, but excellent for stationary reception where stations surround your location. The internally rotating, directional antenna gets 360° directional reception while parked or along the way, even going down the road! Rated to light green. Marine viewing is also easy with the Mini-State or Omni-State antenna, both an inexpensive way for recreational TV watching. The 5MS921 Omni-State is rated yellow in the antenna color chart.

What really are the benefits of using an antenna instead of getting high-definition from my cable company?
Most cable or satellite companies rebroadcast on a limited amount of bandwidth. They can only place a certain amount of channels on their system. Most systems are already at their max.
They have two options, spend big bucks to update their system or start compressing the signals. Most are compressing. This results in lower resolution images.
An off-air antenna gives you the highest resolution broadcast available from the broadcast station, and for FREE!
www.antennaweb.org lets you put in your zip code, then informs you about what stations are broadcasting in your area.
While it gives you the Consumer Electronic Association's color coded antenna suggestions, you can use both the color chart on each of our pages, or the mileage ranges to fine tune your antenna choice.
