Does anyone live in NYC and receive channels with the Blade? I live on 4th Floor UWS.

I live in the Bronx in a four unit building and use the blade for one of my computers and it works just fine...

I live outside the Chicago area, probably 30miles line of sight and this product completely failed. Hit and miss... I even added an amp with no resolution. I was very disappointed in this product.

I'm not sure what the range is. I live in Manhattan and though it mostly works ok it's not without need of adjustment. I was hoping to place it in a convenient spot and forget about it but I have to adjust it often. Living in Manhattan I would opt for a more expensive and hopefully more powerful antenna.

Check out this website for your areahttp://antennaweb.org/address.aspxIt is pretty accurate but I am getting more channels than it says I should so your mileage may vary.

No it doesn't work this way, you need to find a service that provides that channels, then you have to pay for the service monthly,My suggestion for you, find a service and they will provide the MAG250 with the subscription for free.

The answer will be highly subjective. I live on a flat plain, at 50mi outside Houston I get one network channel only inside the 2nd floor of three. As I want it for emergencies only it meets my needs.

I easily pick up digital signals from 60 miles out. I live on a hill, which helps, but my Eagle Aspen antenna is mounted in my attic. Several programs are duplicate because they are broadcast from different cities. Like, I might get 3 channels of Home Shopping Network.I live 30 miles north of Pittsburgh.

I live in Massachusetts and I don't have cable, I purchased an indoor antenna from Radio Shack and I get the local ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox plus quite a few more channels and two shopping channels, QVC and HSN. The channels come in great. If you were planning to use an antenna on your roof, I can't comment on that because I'm using a very small indoor antenna. I tried the indoor antenna and it worked for me, but from reading comments about antennas, some people have tried a few before finding one that worked the best. So price wise, I went small, in case, I needed to purchase another one. I love this TV, and I'm amazed at how good it is. Best of Luck.

Thanks. This is the same info I received from Mohu.I did purchase one. I am about 35 miles from Philadelphia. I am able to get the VHF channel 6 (ABC) if I rotate the antenna 90 degrees.

it didn't work for me. Poor reception on a couple channels. Was able to get PBS only. None of the local channels would come in. I probably am in a bad reception location. I haven't had any luck with ANY inside antennas

I live in the downtown Phoenix az area and I can get all channels except for pbs. Sometimes I have to move it around to get other channels live nbc.

Howdy Ron, If the company you deal with already gives you local channels then you can receve them, but only if you stay in you local area for reception. Meaning for example if you live and receive local service in the Philadelphia pa. area and you travel to Virginia, or anywhere outside you local service area, you'll not be able to receive any local service no matter what. I hope i've been of some help. I know this to be fact as I've tried from all over the U.S.. If you leave you home local service you'll not receive the local stations....that's the bottom line! Thanks! Carl

Sarah,If you live down in a valley, your reception will be limited. I know I live 50 miles from Pittsburgh, and I can pick up 26 channels. I even got Ohio and West Virginia channels and they are about 100 miles away.Vic

Wow- that does not sound right. I live about 15 miles out from Los Angeles and am getting at least 81 on this small set. Of course many are different language channels but all networks and their subset channel as well as local independents are coming in. I would guess that most NYC's transmitters are atop skyscrapers? Ours here are in the local mtn range at about 4500> ft elevation. You should be getting more than 5.

It depends on where you live. I had a friend look up at a Radio Shach a chart as to where I live and what channels I should be able to get. Also, the chart told me which direction it needs to face, and in my case, it did need to be on the second floor level, I'm near an airport . Hope his helps!

No, you should be able to get more channels, provided you live in a decent sized city with several stations. I live in the suburbs of a major metro area and I get 15 channels, including PBS.
