What generation tuner does it have. Generation 6 is
going into the current manufacture of sets and set top
boxes that get the top rating. Each generation gets a
big step forward. On the big TV I only watch the HDTV
and I get fair reception with the UHF antenna on the
inside. When I get it up about 10 or more feet above
roof top level I expect that I will get everything I
need. 

On a coastal band opening I have gotten CBS  WTOC-DT
in Savannah GA  at around 200 miles.
