http://cgi.ebay.com/_W0QQitemZ250155800238
Frequency : 45 - 860 MHz
Channels : VHF 2-13 UHF 21-69

A quarter-wavelength on channel 2 is roughly 1.5m or about 60". Any
antenna whose largest dimension is 21" is going to be very much a
compromise on VHF.

"Up to 50 miles", kinda suggests that if the VHF station is operating from
a 2,000-foot mountain, you're on a hill too, there are no noisy
computers in your house, and the atmospherics are just right, you might
get a snowy picture. I would suggest that in "real life" 10-15 miles
might be a better estimate, at least for VHF.

I haven't checked in quite a few years, (before I got DirecTV) but I
guess I can still pick up Ameica One tv out of Greenville, Mississippi
on one of my tv sets that isn't hooked up to DirecTV.The picture was
snowy though because Greenville is about seventy miles North Northwest
of me, on the Mississippi River.I think America One tv is broadcast out
of Arlington,Texas and relayed to Greenville.Of course, when the big
HDTV switchover comes if Feburary 2009, I probally won't be able to pick
up America One tv.I don't want HDTV, SCREW the fcc!.
Local Jackson area tv stations I can pick up are, WLBT 3 NBC, WJTV 12
CBS, WAPT 3 ABC, WMPN 29 PBS, WRBJ 34 CW TV Services, WUFX 35 NNT TV
Services, WDBD 40 FOX.There is another tv station that might be
broadcasting in Jackson someday, WWJX, may be independent, owner is
Flinn Broadcasting.
