At Antennas Direct, we like to run with winners. Coming off of their Super Bowl win, the New England Patriots (and particularly Tom Brady) are winners this season – beating the Steelers, the Bills and even Roger Goodell.
But the real winners? Those are the Patriots fans at Rainy Day Magazine.
They recently searched high and low for an antenna that would allow them to watch the NFL the way it should be – over-the-air, in high definition and with live chats and discussions. They recently posted an article (in full nerd-porn detail) about their perfect NFL setup, which, of course, includes the ClearStream Eclipse. And, just like winners, they have their priorities straight – the most important thing for watching football? A clean signal.
From the post:
The most important thing we need to have is the ability to grab a clean signal. The best is still the HDTV signal grabbed right out of the air. So, during the pre-season, we played around with a bunch of different HDTV antennas and with various workflows. In the end, we found that the best combination of gear for recording live TV off the air is:
- EyeTV Hybrid: Easy to use HDTV tuner, records in 1080p
- Clearstream Eclipse HDTV antenna: Sticks anywhere antenna, super clear signals
- Mac mini: Small size, easily upgradeable, great workhorse
