I'm having really good results with this from Radioshack.

I'm about 45-50 miles from the sources and pulling in 90-100% signal strength on all but a few...

Forgot to mention that I have this mounted in my attic...

I've borrowed this from a friend of mine, but I'm getting mixed results. That said - I haven't gone into the attic yet, it's just been sitting on the floor leaning against the bedroom wall in the direction of the broadcast antennas.

I will say it is a decent size. And if I could get it to pick up one more channel I would be happy (planning on crawling into the attic this weekend).

It seems a lot of people like this unit, RS Model: 15-2187, is there any one that has pictures of the inside of the unit?
