If an over-the-air antenna, you better hope you are in a metropolitan area. In the hinterlands (more than about 40 miles from the station antenna) you will get nothing. Also, marinas are at sea level, of course, and, if surrunded by hills or trees blocking the line-of-sight signal, again, nothing. When it works, it works, but often it doesn't and ut has nothing to do with whatever antenna is being used. If you want reliable, always available televsion, Direct TV is the better choice. If you want free TV, available sometimes, rely on an OTA antenna. I've been down this road. I threw my Glomex away.I'm canceling my Direct TV and going to Glomex & am wondering what the membership suggests.
Lousy reviews for Dish? Well here's a different view. We are wholly satisfied with Dish TV. We have an RV account. As we travel to a new market for local stations, it ia a simple process through an app to change to the locals in the new location.I have a Glomex, have no clue how it works and no info on it. POS.
I'm going to an antenna for local TV and if I'm not in a good area, I'll just watch recorded stuff or Netflix, etc.
Just not set up yet.... not a big priority.
There's no way I'd commit to a satellite service contract like Dish, even though I have the antenna..... most of the reviews on Dish are horrible.
