Install in a snap<\/strong><\/p>\n

Installation couldn\u2019t be simpler.\u00a0 Merely unscrew the coax from your cable box or from your dish and screw in the coax cable supplied by HD Frequency.\u00a0 It a good quality cable and that enhances your signal strength.<\/p>\n

Screw the other end into the antenna and place the antenna in a window facing your TV stations or mount in on your roof.<\/p>\n

Run a station scan on your TV and start counting.\u00a0 Each over-the-air station found will be added to your list.<\/p>\n

Confirming my results<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a video done by someone on YouTube, comparing the HD Frequency brand to a number of others.\u00a0 While I have not tried the units he did, I have tried the RCA antenna that\u2019s very similar to the Mohu Leaf shown in the video, a Channel Master antenna, as well as a tall, slender Radio Shack brand.\u00a0 Like this author, I found reception to be stronger on HD Frequency\u2019s antenna than on any other I\u2019ve tried.<\/p>\n

We live in a fringe area outside Cleveland and the HD Frequency found 24 stations.\u00a0 My Radio Shack, the Channel Master and my RCA antenna each found 18.<\/p>\n
