Nice performing ATSC/DTV antenna

So, I was searching reviews of various amplified DTV antenna's a few weeks back and found that this Winegard FL-5500 had received some good praise. I bought a factory re-furb off eBay and tested it out and I must say it works quite well. I also really like that it takes power off the USB port on the TV (or the supplied wall wart). It actually pulled in more watchable stations than my other rotating yagi-type rotating amp'd antenna, so the amp part being extremely low noise must be part of the reception "key". So for $30 delivered, I consider it a very good deal and performer. The refurb'd product number is FL-55YR. Stated range is ~~ 50 miles, but it picked up a Vermont PBS station which is 75+ miles which I could never receive before.

Cheers,

Tom (PK)
