The antenna does look very nice but using it in a high-rise apartment is a bit of a challenge. I do live high enough on the 24th floor. And I do have 1 side of the building facing a local transmission tower about 25km away.Unlike putting it in a house you don't have a lot of choices where you mount your antenna. Fortunately we do have 1 side that face the tower and we have a balcony facing the same direction where we can mount the antenna outside and run the cable back in.The only issue is the TV in the room that is not facing the tower, the signal dropped to the point where I'm not pulling in a single station (the walls are thicker and made of concrete). Solution?I had to buy a separate 5.8 Ghz Wireless Av Sender / Receiver from RF-Link. The sender end plugged into the antenna and the receiver end to the TV. Otherwise I would have to run 50 feet of cable from 1 room to the next.Some homes you get more stations 1 side of the house and fewer stations the other side. But in an apartment you get all the stations 1 side of the unit and none the opposite side. Bought 1 locally in Canada from Radio World.
