Works great and that is a good price. Just be sure to push hard to get the detachable part to the base.]]>Jul 23rd 2008 12:54PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/23/ask-engadget-hd-whats-the-best-short-to-mid-range-ota-antenna/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/23/ask-engadget-hd-whats-the-best-short-to-mid-range-ota-antenna/
I begrudgingly got my Charter cable hooked back up and returned the antenna....but, makes you think, shit, if this little crappy antenna can pick up that many stations, I could pull in a TON more with a roof antenna.

PS....I tried both passive and amplified antenna's......I always had better luck with the amplified antenna. ]]>Jul 23rd 2008 2:12PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/23/ask-engadget-hd-whats-the-best-short-to-mid-range-ota-antenna/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/23/ask-engadget-hd-whats-the-best-short-to-mid-range-ota-antenna/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/19/antennas-direct-cuts-its-clearstream2-antenna-in-half-calls-it/#comments

The Radio Shack RS 1892 (UFO) delivers much more impressive results. The AVS indoor antenna thread rates the RS 1892 as the best non-discontinued indoor antenna.

Bought it over five years ago and it still works great, although it's only being used in the upstairs bedroom on a spare 720p LCD. Picks up about 10 or 11 local (north Seattle) channels.

Not the best-looking HD antenna by a longshot, but I just stand it upright in the window and close the blinds.]]>Jul 24th 2008 10:45AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/23/ask-engadget-hd-whats-the-best-short-to-mid-range-ota-antenna/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/23/ask-engadget-hd-whats-the-best-short-to-mid-range-ota-antenna/Aug 21st 2008 5:27PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/23/ask-engadget-hd-whats-the-best-short-to-mid-range-ota-antenna/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/23/ask-engadget-hd-whats-the-best-short-to-mid-range-ota-antenna/Aug 29th 2008 9:33PM
