Don't fall for this digital TV antenna myth
Don't fall for this digital TV antenna myth. No, you can't get an antenna with a 6,000 mile range. You'll need a digital antenna if you want to watch free local TV channels at home. One might claim to give you 150 miles of range, another 600, another 5,000, all from a plastic base inside your home. The Earth is curved, so distant transmitters will eventually disappear below the horizon.
Why it matters. Why it matters: Don't fall for this digital TV antenna myth.
