I purchased a 46" Samsung LCD a few months back and need an amplified antenna to get local HD channels. This unit has a built in HD tuner so I'm not looking for a HD tuner. Anyone has any suggestion What kind and where I can get a nice amplified antenna? Price is no issue, just need something that works good. |

I installed 3, 2 are within 20 miles (as a crow flies) from the city that broadcasts the channels that are regular ant's. 1 is around 30 miles and i went with a 30 dollar powered ant. all work great. walmart for all 3 |

Sometimes I get a good signal for some channels but then again I have to play with it to catch others. Its just been a hassle messing with the one i have right now. It worked fine for my 32" Sony, but for some reason its not working that great for the my new LCD. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=&Category=&_trksid=p3907.m29 I'm looking at this one on Ebay, i just dont want to drop $76 on something that doesnt work the way its suppose to, u know.. |
