I live in the heart of the bay area and after seeing 482 reviews here, I want to give a try. I am sorry to let you know that this antenna was receiving terrible signals - just 3 channels that too I haven't heard the name of these channels. I don't want this. I initially set it up in the living area closer to the patio door - awful reception. Then tried out in the patio, reception was good for just 3 channels I just mentioned. In the package, it says "before you choose to return give a call to our CS experts". I dialed the 1800 number and the person was so cool. He told, "Sorry for the trouble Sir, Infact you need HDTVo antenna and not this one. Haha what a joke. All the positive reviews are just fake? Anyways, returned back. I don't think I will ever try another Terk antenna - go for comcast, as they have good offers or probably direct TV which gives upto 7000 thankyou points.
