I live 25mi outside of Chicago and antennaweb.org says I should get a max of 64 digital channels. I ordered a Lava Electronics HD-2605 UHF/VHF HDTV Antenna with Remote Control and mounted it in my attic. I was only able to get about 3 channels when pointed at the optimal angle with and without the LNA. This seemed just terrible to me even though it was in the attic and not not the roof so i pulled out the old bunny ears and got pretty much the same channels. I immediately returned the HD-2605 and ordered a Televes DAT790 LR Mix UHF/VHF Long Range Antenna (149881) which has half the claimed range of the HD-2605 but more believable specs. I assembled it and hooked it up to the exact same cable and setup in the attic and immediately got 59 channels (without the amplifier). I'll probably add the amp later when I hook up additional TVs but this is a MUCH better antenna. And the build quality was night and day as well. The Lava HD-2605 was cheap fragile plastic and many of the elements did not even touch via metal only plastic; they seem to be for show. The Televes DAT790 (149881) build is mostly metal and will hold up to the elements much better. It is much larger but not as big as the old antennas you see on roofs. All in all these cost the same and I felt ripped off by the HD-2605 even before i realized it only gave me ~3 channels. The DAT790 is better in every way and you can't argue with 20x more channels. Maybe the HD2605 would have been better but was DOA, but if that is the case they need better quantity control, i wasted a lot of time with it before switching to the DAT790.

I had high hopes after doing my research. The fact that the cost of the software to download cost me no more despite the fact that I live in a country where software providers routinely shamelessly gouge.

I love this goofy and fun song. It has medicinal properties I tells ya. Anyways, download it or don't, but do.

I really enjoyed this book. I read sci-fi only occasionally, but the books I choose have to have human characters who I can relate to and this one fits the bill.

A decent read, with some stretches in characters and magic, Stiger tends to be a little stiff in character development, trying to stay on track to his moral guidelines of loyalty and duty. The supporting cast tends to make the story more enjoyable.
