This simply cannot work as claimed. If a transmitting antenna is 300' high, and a receiving antenna is 30' high, range is limited to about 32 miles - line of sight. Or perhaps Sikoimate has figured out a way to bend electromagnetic radiation...

The average TV transmitter height in the US is 400 meters. The ones in my region are 630 meters tall. Line of sight for a 630 meter antenna is 56 miles.

Besides, weather, the ionosphere and the troposphere bend waves all the time.

No such thing as a "digital antenna" ...all are the same (digital or analog).

^ Yes and no. When there is a booster, it could be a digital booster circuit instead of analog, but in the past and probably still now (even from generic Chinese brands) you probably won't get that for $18.

These things are dinky and generally unsatisfactory for most situations.
