I have the dongle connected to a small, outdoor antenna, about 12' in the air. It picks up ALL of the Dayton OTA stations and some from Cincinnati. The TV in our bedroom, on the 2nd floor, south end of the house, has a simple, $10 indoor antenna connected to it and it receives MORE stations. I know the height helps, but it's indoors and a barebones, indoor antenna.... Does that mean the OTA tuner in that TV is better ? In all honesty, I don't care.... I get my 'locals' and the Cincinnati stations are simply a bonus.
