Is anyone using this antenna in the Westchase area? I returned my silver sensor and got the stealth based on the understanding that it would improve my reception of certain channels.

Amazingly, with the stealth I get 1 station with it sitting on top of my entertainment center where with the ss in the same place I got all but 1 or 2 AND I got CBS.

It could also be that I switched form the SirT151 to the 351 but how could that make a difference?

I have assembled the antenna correctly, is there something I'm missing?

I might be wrong, but I suspect the silver sensor is somewhat bi-directional. I do know that in my neighborhood channel 10 is somewhat the opposite direction from Riverview so that it is possible to get a relatively useable signal from the back of the antenna. I do have the stealthtenna and I do know it is quite directional. Small turns have a pretty dramatic effect on signal level. It does seem to do a good job, better than a full size antenna crammed into my attic, and better than a "bay area special" I was talked into getting by my E* installer.

Do you have an amplifier on yours?
