I would not say the Clear TV DTV antenna is a scam. As I mentioned in a previous post, mine works up to a point; the reason it does not receive two local DTV channels which actually transmit on VHF high-band channels is that the stations in question actually require an amplified outdoor VHF TV antenna to be received at all in my area. I don't know why this should be, unless the Clear TV antenna was never designed to receive high-band VHF channels. (The shape of the antenna element, which is reminiscent of the old UHF bow-tie indoor antennas of the '60s-'70s, should all but scream that the Clear TV system won't work well, or in some areas at all, with high VHF channels, unless said signals are very strong.)

The advertising for this antenna states that it will receive VHF high-band and UHF signals, but from comments in this thread and from my own experience, I must agree that the antenna does not do nearly as well with high-band VHF as with higher-frequency (read UHF) signals. The antenna might work a lot better in a prime signal area; where I live, the TV signals aren't that strong, with most folks having to use outdoor antennas to get much other than the CBS and ABC affiliates in Cleveland--and that was in the old analog NTSC days.

As to the mailing list referred to by another person on this thread, I have not received any correspondence at all to date from the maker of the antenna via e-mail or snail mail. They may have started the mailing list some time after I ordered my antennas (I mistakenly ordered four of these things last year, when I only have one flat-screen DTV set).
