[NLRS] OT DTV question

[Jeff Pahl / K0JSP]

The first one I bought I got at Target.  It was designed by an idiot
that had no concept that someone might use it on an antenna that
turns.  The only way to set up the channels was to use the auto search
function, and then when you turned the antenna you had to start over.
That one is now sitting in the bottom of a box of stuff in my closet
for "in case the cable goes out".

The second one I got at Radio Shack.  It allows the adding of channels
after it does the first search scan.

I highly recommend not buying the ones they sell at Target unless you
live close enough to all the transmitters you want to watch to be able
to use rabbit ears without having to move them.

73, Jeff
