so you can recieve both uhf and vhf with this antenn?.. what about one of those terk tv44 clip on antennas that you put on your satelite dish is this a good type?

i basicaly for some reason am sold on one of those indoor/outdoor stick antennas i dont know why. Everyone seems to make them sound so great and i keep getting told that the indoor tv top antennas are no good.. to get an indoor outdoor antenna like teh terk tv55, or the rca ant706, or teh clip on type antenna for your sattelite dish.. im sorry if im being annoying im just very catious about what i get..

Terk antennas are not very highly regarded - most people end up replacing them with Silver Sensors, Winegard or Channel Master.

Try the Silver Sensor first - it's a lot easier than putting something outside.

If you want to try something outside a Square Shooter might work.

ok thank you very much

ok i have checked out all that info.. and have found quite a few decent antennas.. my main question it seems that the silver sensor would be a great choice , how ever is there one similar to teh silver sensor that picks up uhv/vhf?

I would suggest a Silver Sensor plus Rabbit Ears plus a VHF-UHF combiner. You can read up on TV antennas at http://www.hdtvprimer.com/ISSUES/erecting_antenna.html . -Ken

I live between Battle Creek and Kalamazoo MIchigan. Galesburg to be exact. I have a 8 bay channel master antenna with a channel master 9537 amplifier. Wow it is awesome. I pick up all the Lansing Michigan signals and can get south bend Indiana when I point the rotor in that direction. Lansing channels are 45 to 62 miles away and this antenna even though it is a uhf antenna picks up channel 6 and 8 perfectly.. Go for the best antenna amplfier you can get. A few extra bucks now will be well worth it> John
