I Just did a OTA for a customer using the DTV2BUHF and it brought in channel 4 at 90%
It was 12 miles from the WHBF tower...Eldridge to be exact.

I am too, And thats why I mentioned it....The first time I installed one of these I was like ..."Yea right, This aint gonna get any channels unless I mount it right on the stations tower"...but, as I found out, It is a little gem.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that this antenna is perfect but if you are located in the right place, it will work fine. I would say 8 out of 10 of the ones I installed work perfect....
Has anybody heard any more on whether QC locals will get to stay on 129W?Rumor:
Heard a rumor that 1000.2 129W will have QC HD locals..... I would not go out and buy or have someone install a 1000.4 just yet.....
I still say and I will say it again, A good digital outdoor antenna (if your close or in QC area) is much better than getting locals on dish. And it will be there if you ever loose your sat signal for what ever reason.
I only install the DTV2BUHF Antenna as these in my opinion are the best..
Good for up to 50 miles.

yeah, the area i live in is in the yellow ring on the right, but not in the green.. i am not sure what that entails - but i would assume being in the green is better.. :V) the conus 129 feeds work fine here though..
I have a funny fealing that the HD locals will be on the 129 bird Someday.
Did two more off air antennas today for customers. Got the channel 4 WHBF at 80 plus percent both times. One in Bettendorf and one in Davenport.

in the QC's yes, but further out then muscatine, and i doubt that antenna would work
i am a hour PAST muscatine, and i can tell you - for sure - it wont work here

no, evansville is in indiana, qc is iowa/illinois border (davenport,rock island, betendorf and moline)
Yup. The slides they posted in the Retailer chat a while back had Evansville in wrong spot. Evansville is in SW Indiana across the river from KY.
I hope Davenport Iowa never gets their locals in HD.....I'm making a good living putting up antennas here...
lol, Just joking everyone!

129 SB 30 has transponder 17 open and not used.

it should easily cover evansville, but definitely not davenport - i followed your line of thought, but thought i should clarify for others..
