Best Uses
"We bought this VU-90 35 years ago, before cable, before satellite, probably before you were even born. Once cable TV came into the neighborhood, about 22 years ago, we subscribed and left this antenna up there on a mast strapped to our chimney not doing anything. It has been hit by lightning and elements bent by Hurricane Hugo.
Last year we purchased a very nice Samsung HDTV. After replacing the 300 ohm – 75 ohm converter on the antenna (it was a mess) , moving the antenna to a location closer to the TV, we have the most incredible picture on local Hi Def signals. We still enjoy cable and all it has to offer but when the Race or the Game is on local ABC, CBS, FOX or PBS in High Definition we hit the “antenna” button on the remote.
Bottom line this is an excellent antenna, bulletproof, and will last beyond your grey years.
Any “old antenna”, not just the VU-90, needs to be pointed at the transmitting tower for the best High Definition signal strength. Good Luck.. eddie"
