- Will it pick up channels far from the towers?
- No. It is a passive indoor VHF antenna, so it works best within a short distance of strong local transmitters. The 6000-mile figure is a marketing claim, not a real reception range.
- Does it need power or an amplifier?
- No. It is a passive antenna with no amplifier and no power adapter. You connect it to the TV's coaxial input and rescan for channels.
- Which channels can it receive?
- It is built for VHF broadcasts. Many local stations now broadcast on UHF, so check your local channel lineup before buying if UHF stations matter to you.
- Where should I place it?
- Place it high in the room, ideally near a window facing the broadcast towers. Moving it a few feet can change which channels come in.
- Is it good for a whole house?
- It suits one TV in one room. For multiple TVs or weak signal areas, an amplified or outdoor antenna is a better fit.
- Where is the Ultra HDTV Digital TV Antenna 6000 Miles cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $38.27, as of our latest check.
