If you say so. Hundreds of posts here indicate otherwise.

Twenty miles is not very far, I'm closer than that and have problems with
reception.

Up until I first saw the news about the 5th gen receiver's test results I
was
sure a bigger antenna would solve all my reception problems. But maybe not.

As soon as I can get one I will find out if the reports are true, if so it
will
be great. But in either case I will post my results here.

The least expensive is the USDTV at Walmart for $198.

The new model will be one of the first to use 5th gen technology and I hope
it
will cost no more that the current model. This is the one I will try as soon
as
it is for sell.

The current one may work fine for you, try it and return it if you have
reception
problems otherwise keep it. Thats what I'm going to do with the new model.

I beleive the post, but the three people (including me) that I know first
hand
have problems. The other two just gave up and live with the poor to fair
results.
We all have tried multiple antennas, we all started with indoor and moved to
larger
antennas. The other two don't post or read anything from these news groups
but they exist none the less. I was going to get a larger root top antenna
but
decided to wait when I saw the post about the new receiver technogly.
