SS-3000 vs. FV-HD30

[darrendmiller]

I recently ordered the FV-HD30 through Amazon, but it's not in stock, so I'm waiting until it is. Meanwhile I've done some more research and come across the SS-3000. Now I'm wondering if I should cancel my order and order that one instead. I have yellow UHF and VHF channels in my area. The lowest VHF channel's frequency is 7.1 - but it's ABC, so I want to make sure I will get a clear picture on it. The only difference I can see between these two models (besides the FV-HD30 also working outdoors, which I don't need) is that the SS-3000 picks up low frequency VHF, and the FreeVision doesn't. However, 7.1 is technically on the low end of "high frequency VHF." So...

1. Am I correct in what I've found to be the differences between these two models? Does one pick up HD signals better than the other on a general level?

2. Would the fact that the SS-3000 picks up low frequency VHF signals give me better reception for channels on the low end of the "high frequency" scale?

Which should I get?

I am very excited either way, I have heard nothing but great things about Winegard products!

I would suggest the FV-HD30 FreeVision over the SS-3000 if you have no channels 2-6. It is not that the FV-HD30 receives no signal on those lower channel, but it's bell curve is peaked for the channels you are trying to receive.

If that item does not come in stock soon check out the following: http://www.amazon.com/Winegard-FreeVisi ... 822&sr=8-2

That is the same antenna in a brown box.
