The digital signal do not have the range that the old analogs did. I was told 50-55 miles is about as far as they will reach. When we stay at Treasure Lake in Branson, we cannot get but 1 or 2 Springfield stations and it is only 40 miles from Branson. When it was analog, we could get all the stations from Springfield. We live 75 miles from Joplin and have an outdoor antenna with a booster and a motor to turn it. We use to get all the Joplin stations, now we can only get 1 of them. We use to get all the networks from Tulsa (75 or 80 miles) and now only get NBC. I forgot to mention, we live on a hill in the country with a very good line of sight. I do not like the new digital age.

I'm sure it's coverage will be just as lousy as any other Omni. But they sell em' to suckers that don't know any better and believe the hype until they park next to a real antenna.
