No. I haven't tried that yet. However, one day a month or so ago, out of sheer curiosity, I hooked up my ClearCast HDTV antenna to my flat screen and saw, to my surprise (in addition to the Cleveland TV stations I normally receive here, minus 8 and 19 and their subs), TV stations from Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario, Canada, all coming in every bit as good as the locals. I was used to seeing Detroit and Windsor TV here in the summer before digital TV replaced analog, but I was amazed to get these stations' DTV signals with an indoor antenna as well as I did. The only Detroit stations I didn't see were their CBS channel 62 and FOX channel 2.
