No monthly fees, no contract, no installation fees, no credit checks, and no cancellation fees: you can save an average of $1,000 per year by switching to FlatWave.

Cons: Direction sensitive
Overall Review: I'm in downtown Toronto, with CN Tower awfully close to the North and Lake Ontario and Buffalo to the south. Rabbit ears got me only channels from CN tower, about 5-6 of them. With this Winegard, I get 23 channels in one direction and 25 in the other, most with good reception. It picks up quite a few channels from Hamilton and Buffalo. The entire list - NBC - 2.1 - WGRZ-HD - Good - US Weathernation - 2.2 - WGRZ-WN - Good - US Antenna TV - 2.3 - WGRZ-AT - Good - US CBS - 4.1 - WIVB-HD - Good - US CBC - 5.1 - CBLT-DT - Good - Canada ABC - 7.1 - WKBW-HD - Good - US CTV - 9.1 - CFTO-DT - Good - Canada CHCH - 11.1 - CHCH-DT - Good - US PBS - 17.1 - WNED-HD - Bad - US Think - 17.2 - Think - Bad - US TVO - 19.1 - TVO - Good - Canada The CW - 23.1 - WNLO-HD - Good - US Bounce - 23.2 - Bounce - Good - US CBC-French - 25.1 - CBLFTDT - Good - Canada FOX - 29.1 - WUTV-HD - Bad - US TCN - 29.2 - TCN - Bad - US CTV Two - 35.1 - CHCJ-HD - Good - Canada Crossroads - 36.1 - CITS-DT - Good - Canada OMNI - 40.1 - CJMT-DT - Good - Canada Global - 41.1 - CIII-HD - Good - Canada Global SD - 41.2 - CIII-SD - Good - Canada OMNI.1 - 47.1 - CFMT - Good - Canada CITYTV - 57.1 - CITYTV - Good - Canada My antenna points south but with a 15 degrees change, it picks up 2 more channels: My TV - 49.1 - WNYO-HD - Good - US GetTV - 49.2 - WNYO - Good - US but loses quality on NBC, ABC and CBS. If I get even the tiniest sustained stuttering, it's listed as "Bad". "Good" means no video or audio stuttering at all. In contrast to comments on blogs/forums about amplified antennas doing poorer than unamplified ones in the city (putatively due to high strength CN Tower signals saturating the amplifier) , I got only 8 without power and over 20 with power. Play around with direction - it matters a lot. I used tape to stick it on 2 windows and 2 walls in slightly differing directions and got 23, 25, 9 and 16 channels respectively. Windows are better than walls, and much better than beams. This is much better, aesthetically and functionally, than rabbit ears. Recommended.
