Is this a significant improvement over the 19.99 model? I purchased that model and can pick up NBC, ABC, and PBS but cannot get Fox or CBS. Would this antenna be likely to scan those two channels if the 19.99 model did not? null

I'm not sure if it would be any better because I've always had trouble here where I live with getting ABC with a previous rooftop antenna. This antenna still does not pick up ABC. I'm sure this is because there is a hill/mountain between the ABC tower and where I live.

I actually had the same problem. Could not pick up Fox or CBS, but all others were fine. What I found out was Nextstar had put a blanket signal block on any Directv subscriber in order to not receive these stations through their Directv receiver. I then put the antenna on a stand alone TV in another bedroom with no Directv and got both CBS and FOX, which let me watch football the first couple weeks. Since then, Nexstar came to terms with Directv and all channels are restored.

I had to add those channels manually because it wouldn't come up after I scanned it.
