Interesting. Havent' heard of either of them, but worth looking at everything.

I'm assuming that you used antennaweb.org to figure out where to point your antenna? (I know. I don't think you're an idiot. I just had to check.)



Philo and AT&T WatchTV both have the 3-4 channels we care about.  I tried both a leaf-style antenna and a smaller plate + rabbit ears.  The Leaf knockoff didn't pick up VHF at all and the hybrid just barely picked up ABC and CBS.  Oddly neither of them picked up NBC which according to online tools is about the same signal type, distance, and direction from us as Fox (which came in fine).  Both antennae were mounted as close to the ceiling as possible, but interior of the house - our arrangement isn't near a window and we have no interest in re-arranging.  Putting the antennae near a window and running coax would be tedious and unsightly.  Basically we want this easy or not at all :lol:
