Is this antenna worth the money

I've purchased one, also from Wal-Mart, that looks like bat wings, so thin it is floppy, and it does a pretty good job out on our deck. I bought it a couple years ago to watch Royals games, and then they moved them to FoxSportsKC, which is strictly cable. But it is still a good antenna. That one should do just fine as well, I'd think.

 

Before buying almost anything these days I always check Amazon reviews and Walmart reviews.

Based on the reviews it looks like this would work for you. And it's $10 less at Amazon (assuming it's the same model.)

 

http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/dtvmaps/ might give you some information. Antennas are very iffy. It might/might not work for you, depends on trees, buildings, how your home is constructed etc.

You can always return it.

I rather doubt it would do much for you but you never know.

We are 45 miles from all the towers and I've tried 5 different units and none do what I feel they should do. The one we have is okay most of the year but for a couple weeks in spring and fall it is worthless on a channel or two.

It also depends on what frequency your channels are on.

The website can give an idea of what might be needed. There is a color code that helps but not all manufacturers use it.

 

Great.

Years ago in Hawaii the signal bounced through the mountains. We would put the antenna on a pole and walk around the roof while rotating the antenna. If nothing good we'd try the backyard etc.

Where we found the signal is where it was installed.
