Dorian smile

Do the physical laws of physics apply to tv antenas. If so how do the people who have designed them for years missed the basics that a NASSA engineer just happened to stumble across ?? (half way to mars perhaps?)no

Of course it is a dodgey deal(scam) and it pops up everwhere now !! A fool and his money are easily parted even today. Those reviews are cheap to get.hmm 

BuY one and tell us if it is magic biggrin

PS Under the NEW RULE IN 2019 I have been getting HD TV for years and years on free to air TV. I must be magic too !! Chase up those battery recondition adds too and save more money !!confuse

Next question: Is TV a scam in and of itself? I got rid of FTA TV back in the 90s since it was far too costly.

The first thing that struck me was the claim that Australian law had changed in 2019 to prevent content providers from scrambling their transmissions. I confess that, in the light of the government's recent stupid, draconian encryption legislation, I wondered whether they had done something equally as baffling to digital transmissions. As expected, my searches turned up nothing. Still, it's not a referral one would expect to get from a top rating tech web site. BTW, one of the abovementioned URLs links the buyer to the TV Shopping Network (an expired URL).

From reading the Snopes report it appears it may or may not work as well or better than any other aerial for normal tv stations (includng hd) but you won't get any pay tv for nothing
