Well, I assumed he was getting everything available in the area. So are you Chris?

Well, I get CBS, NBC and ABC channels in HD. Thats all I remember testing, really all I care about. But I'll check tonight...

I put this antenna on my non HD tv upstairs, and couldn't recieve station worth anything! Should you be able to use these antennas on non HD content?

Your TV tuner might be set to CATV, in which case you'll have to switch it to AIR to pick up the stations.

well, it did get 2 -3 channels, but only fuzzy...

Based on the information provided in your earlier link, it should pick up VHF also. How well? Don't have a clue. I hang our in multiple forums dealing with HD and I have never seen anyone mention this RCA antenna. I use the RS DBT with decent results. It doesn't work well with my NBC so I am upgrading to a massive antenna in the attic. Others I know have great results with this RS antenna.

I'm using the RS Catalog #: 15-1880 as mentioned in the above post. I get great results on the HDTV stations in my area (about 8 miles from the transmitters) but lousy results on SDTV, both VHF and UHF. I'll probably switch to a rooftop antenna combination sometime in the near future since I can't watch ABC MNF on digital (the local ABC affiliate does not have a digital signal here).
