I just ordered a Clear TV digital antenna for the heck of it. Since the website (
www.buycleartv.com) states this antenna will receive high VHF as well as UHF DTV signals, and the price was right ($19.95, excluding shipping and handling), I decided to give it a try in my area. As I have mentioned in other posts, my Clear Cast DTV indoor antenna flopped miserably here due to the fact that it does not receive high-VHF stations; there are two such DTV stations in Cleveland, on channels 8.1/8.2 (VHF 8) and 19.1/19.2 (VHF 10). The rest are on UHF and are receivable perfectly well with the indoor Clear-Cast. I realize I am taking a gamble on the Clear TV antenna receiving the high-VHF stations, but I think it will be worth it to experiment with the antenna to see just how well it works here.
My next post to this thread will be the results of my experiments with the Clear TV indoor DTV antenna, but don't expect it until the antenna arrives here -- probably within a week or so (I placed the order at 11:30 p.m., February 25, 2013). As with the Clear Cast, I'm not expecting miracles, but if it brings in all the DTV stations in this area (including channel 55.3, which is the THIS TV subchannel of Cleveland CW network affiliate WBNX; Time Warner Cable doesn't carry it at this time), I will be happy. If it doesn't work as well as I'm hoping it will, I can probably list it on eBay or Craigslist and get my investment back, so I have little or nothing to lose either way.
