I setup this antenna in my parent house,and picked up more then 40+ local channels. but When I tried in my apartment in Costa Mesa,CA,only picked up 3 channels

If a person has any type of metal siding on the house and/or roof, an indoor antenna can make it difficult or impossible to get a signal. My mobile home has a steel roof & the siding is aluminum, and barely got an analog signal with rabbit ears. I get no digital signal with rabbit ears. So I have no choice, but to use an outdoor antenna to get TV reception.

If you're not far from the transmitter and get the digital signal, you will be amazed at the clarity of the picture. Totally blows away analogue signal!

I like the fact he points out the factors affecting reception such as distance from transmitter, terrain, behind a wall, window, etc. So, no matter how good an antenna is, if it's not well positioned, you'll still get crappy reception.

Do I hook this up to a FTA unit and would I get good signal if I put this in the basement

You'll have to experiment.

Keep in mind that even length and quality of coax cable will also affect the quality of the signal. Other electrical interferences, even a truck driving by, can also affect your reception.

Overall, though, if this antenna captures a good strong digital on-air signal, he's not kidding and I've seen it, the quality is just amazing. I've seen this antenna receive 1080i signals clearer than cable.

Thanks for the video. I was researching this on Newegg and the ratings for it are very good. I think many people, due the economy, are really thinking about dumping cable server like Comcast, who continually keep raising their rates and yet, remove channels from their selection. I should also note that YOUR price is actually MUCH BETTER than Newegg's.

Your price: $33.99, Newegg's: $39.99
