According to a website I checked, I am about 35 miles from transmitters. They are up high on a mountain above Los Angeles, I believe. I am line of sight, however, as I said the antenna is inside a stucco building, so there are obstructions. If I put an antenna outside, I'd probably be fine, but I strongly resist that. The model number you have is correct. The connections are basic- coax in and out, then some audio plugs I did not use. The remote is also basic. Channel up and down, volume up and down, keypad for channel, then the set up buttons like signal strength. It's fine. The one thing I wish this had was an analog pass-through, so I could play with digital without changing cables.

Further progress: I did manage to pull in all 9 of the main TV stations in my area. The bad part is, I found no antenna configuration that pulled in all 9 at the same time. Maybe a better antenna gets me there. Maybe more playing around.

At any rate, I see the big debacle of this transition. A gradual picture degradation (more snow), one that I lived with, has been replaced by complete signal loss. This could get extremely annoying. I'm sure many people will simply be unable to get some of their stations. This really is going to upset them.
