The problem with the hoards of new compact antennas on the market today is, yes there small, but they don't provide the performance needed for consistent quality digital/HD reception without pixellation. See HDTV Antenna Digital TV Antenna. 

The UP-7 antenna addresses this issue with high performance fringe area reception capabilities in a minimal sized antenna.

How does the UP-7 do this without defying the laws of physics? 

The largest portion of a traditional antenna is the section of the antenna designed to receive low band VHF, channels 2 - 6. To receive these channels at maximum performance the antenna has to be 110" wide and very long, 10 to 12 feet. The UP 7 antenna is designed for maximum performance on channels 7 - 69, eliminating the need for this large section design for low band VHF. 

The UP-7 fits into attic spaces and other areas where traditional antennas just won't fit.

Is the UP-7 antenna the right choice for you?

Performance of the UP-7 on channels 7 and up is equal to or better then antennas as much as 4 times its size.

Most digital stations in the United States are and will broadcast their digital/HD signals on channels 7 and up, with a few exceptions.

Follow the steps below to determine if the UP-7 is the right choice for you.

Step 1. Go to http://www.antennaweb.org click on choose an antenna and follow the instructions. You only need provide your street name and number and zip code.

The UP - 7 will receive all channels broadcasting on channel 7 and up through the Violet color and then some. It will receive channels 2 - 6 through the Red color. For digital/HD reception click on show digital channels only at the top of the page. The column on the right of the page shows the actual channel that particular station is using to broadcast their digital/HD signal on. Are they all on channels 7 and up? If not, are the channels below channel 7 in the Yellow, Green or Red? If so, this antenna is a good choice so far.

Take note of the city location of the channels you would like to receive.

Step 2. Go to http://hraunfoss.FCC.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-06-1082A2.pdf Here you will find the FCC's tentative final channel destination for all channels in the United States. Scroll to the State and City that the TV stations listed in antennaweb were located in. In the first column is the current channel number that particular station is broadcasting their digital signal on, the second column is the channel they are broadcasting their analog signal on, and in the third column is the tentative final channel destination for their digital signal.

Are all final channel destinations for the channels you want to receive on channel 7 and up?

If there are channels below channel 7, do they appear in the color Yellow, Green, or Red on antennaweb?

If you answered yes to both of the above questions, then the UP-7 antenna is a perfect choice for you.

Hi Denny...

Stuck the UP-7 TV antenna in the attic and hooked it up just to see if it would work there. Works great on all channels listed on http://www.antennaweb.org/  (even the one in lavender) and then some with a 50 ft cable attached.
