Holy cow! I bought a MegaWave indoor antenna years ago and it never worked, and today I hooked it up and I get all channels as good or better than my Silver Sensor. So now I have the SS on one antenna input of my RPTV and the MW on the other. So, if I can't get a station on one I can switch to another and get the channel. I am on the first floor of a 4 story building with a metal roof. Most stations are 4 miles away, and the farthest is 8 miles away.

I can only assume my MegaWave is working now because stations have pumped up their output power. I have been waiting for a coupon to get a 6th generation LG chip tuner box as a back-up, but now I may not need it. I will play with it a few days to see how it goes. But to go from zero channels on an antenna to all channels is remarkable. The MegaWave is also less affected by me walking around the room.
