It would be more difficult to build such a thing into recording devices that
don't have large surface areas. Active antennas of that type need to be
dedicated to just one appliance and/or one received channel each, but for
indoor antennas that become part of the appliance itself, and only require
tuning into one channel at a time, that sort of design would be very
practical, I think. Although it would be diffficult. say, for a DVR with
multiple tuners.
Anyway, the site Mark Schubin posted does say: "He also added the HD-mini is
suitable for the places where there is high reception rate," so it sounds
like truth in advertizing to me. No claims about antenna gain here. The
Silver Sensor's place should still be assured.
