You will see these for sale cheap on the internets.</div><div>It works and Is PC only. I would have to spend around $70 on software to make it work on the Mac, but that's not why I'm not recommending it.</div><div><br></div><div>I can't find specific information on which frequencies this thing will tune. No matter what I do, I cannot tune in our own VHF digital channel 9 of WINK-TV. There are some chipsets that will not tune the VHF band for ATSC. I need to take this into the station and hook it up to the big outdoor antenna. None of improvised creations seem to work.</div><div><br></div><div>What would be the optimum antenna length for VHF Channel 9?</div><br><div><div>On Feb 10, 2010, at 4:46 PM, <a href="mailto:bill.spencer@northstarstudios.tv">bill.spencer@northstarstudios.tv</a> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="PostalCode">
