Recommended OTA Antenna

[harshness]

I use an 8 bay CM4228 at 6 miles with no problem, you can't overload a tuner with just an unamplified antenna.

Sure you can. Remember that we're talking about a USB dongle.

My admonition about seeing more and more VHF channels should not be casually ignored; especially in a three-market sandwich as is the case here.
