I'm playing around with Pinnacle's PCTV HD Stick (USB2 stick that
tunes digital/analog TV channels).
Seems to work as advertised but, of course, the pic isn't all
that wonderful with the little telescoping antenna they supply
mounted downstairs in my rec room. Tried putting about 75 feet
of coax on it and moving it to the crotch of a tree outside as
high as I could reach, but the coax seemed to degrade the signal
so much that it was worse with than without - in either location.
I'm looking at www.antennaweb.org and guessing that "Large
Multidirectional With PreAmp" trumps all the others if one is
going to buy a single antenna.
Question: How much better can I expect reception to be with a
specialized antenna - over the little thing that Pinnacle
supplies?
