You're close enough to Phoenix that pretty much any large indoor antenna will work well for the UHF channels. Protip: "amplified" antennas, at least at consumer price-points, are worthless. They just amplify the noise.
I thought the point of an amplifier was to deliver a usable signal down a longer run of coax? I have a rooftop mounted antenna which works very well, but I had one channel that I couldn't get a consistent signal on -- it would frequently pixelate, freeze, and drop completely. I used of these
and it boosted the delivered signal to the TV (well, computer actually) enough that it is completely stable. Obviously, if you've got a noisy signal to begin with, it's not going to help much, but it worked perfectly for my purpose.
I've read the early reviews. And like I said, it looks great on paper, and I'm curious to see how it performs in the real world. Maybe AMD will be able to enjoy a few months of relative supremacy in the high-end desktop / workstation market.
...Customarily, yes. At the moment, Intel is having pretty poor yield with the new 10nm process which is expected to be used on Cannonlake, so the next six months or so will be very interesting to watch in that part of the world.

I'm not impressed just yet. Waiting to see what OC they will handle in the next few weeks.
I've used AMD forever, ready to jump ship to Intel. Unless this new cpu is actually a game changer.

i don't understand this logic. Why would you just now jump ship and not 10 years ago? They have already proven that retail versions of the chip are better than the x99 platform. Even if it is exactly the same you will be saving almost half the cost of a competitive Intel unit.
There were press conferences where they displayed gaming and streaming performance. There have also been independent reviews done already but they all have been removed from YouTube. I believe early next week you will see the independent reviews start coming out. Maybe not with retail boards, though.

I have a rooftop mounted antenna which works very well, but I had one channel that I couldn't get a consistent signal on -- it would frequently pixelate, freeze, and drop completely. I used of these RCA preamps and it boosted the delivered signal to the TV (well, computer actually) enough that it is completely stable. Obviously, if you've got a noisy signal to begin with, it's not going to help much, but it worked perfectly for my purpose.
My understanding is that the home amplification can help with line loss after the antenna. If you have a short run and no splitters, it will make it worse. If you have splitters and long lines an amp could help.
I suck at embedding... gifv guidance anyone? 4hPZWeD.gifv
Meh. I've been probably 95% Intel and Nvidia for nearly a decade now and have no regrats. I mean yeah, there is some fun in trying to figure out an overclock, BTDT, but I'm at a point where if I need a faster CPU, I buy a faster CPU. Absolutely nothing I do needs to be so bleeding edge that I need to overclock anything, and the E-***** POINTS™ don't matter to me. I've tried to help people with AMD/ATI based systems, both laptops and desktops, and drivers have always been a nightmare. I understand that's gotten better (citation needed) in recent years, but I'd rather have something that I don't have to struggle with to get working correctly with Windows.
Some time in the last couple years I upgraded from an i7 930 to an i7 4790K. Why own a K and and stick it in a H97 board with no overclock? Because **** you, that's why.

I've been living happily on AMD / Nvidia since, well forever. I've never used an Intel processor in my personal computer. Believe it or not, there was a time when you could get an Nvidia northbridge on an AMD board.
This 4c/4t 965 has been happily overclocked on 4ghz for the better part of 6 years. I don't live on the bleeding edge of technology. I generally skip a generation of GPUs as well. I'm hopping to skip 3 maybe 4 with this 980 on my Ryzen build.
I'm not rebuilding with Ryzen out of necessity. I've been doing just fine on all the latest titles with max settings, even broadcasting and video capture. This build should last me another 8 years minus a GPU or two. I've been anticipating and waiting for the release of this CPU for a long time now.
You can call me a fanboy, because i am.
My first non consumer(off the shelf) AMD build. Before this i was just cramming GPUs in store bought PCs.
Oh, I have no problem with Fanboyism, isnt that why were are all on this board in the first place? No choice is really wrong, if it works for you it works for you, who are we to look down on you?
Unless its a B6, M45 A2W intake cooler or a powercard, because then you can die in a fire...
Now that I think about it, a lot of things which I build could be mistaken for terrorist weapons...
Nothing so exciting, though. All it does is this:
More powerful than all of the computers owned by NASA, combined, at the moment man first landed on the moon, including the ones not located on earth. And all it does is produce that graph.
