Has anyone bought or tried the New "TV SCOUT" Super TV Antenna which is heavily advertised on the net. It sounds too good to be true. i.e. plug this antenna aerial into your TV and get all the channels for free. Here is an advert ----

It's looks very much like a common antenna? Which however well it works, locally would be better outside, which is why people have external antennas, high up, pointing directionally towards the nearest transmitter - signal weak. This would allow you to get Spanish local TV. Not I suspect something to get too excited about.

Military tech....American marketing hype / claptrap.

Developed by a NASA scientist using military technology to capture full 1080 HD signals
lies. As you do not develop an antenna for HD signal, so the statement itself is cobblers - as for NASA, surely they have better things to do. Maybe they developed this 40 years ago....

Up to 60 mile/96 KM range, operational anywhere in the World (even in the country side!)
Optimistic enough to be called a lie.

Receive up to 100+ premium channels in HD
Well that would depend what country you are in, and as far as I am aware there is no free service with 100+ HD premium channels. So that's a crock too.

UP TO 100 PREMIUM CHANNELS, UP TO 96 KM range.

In summary, its an antenna, if you bought it here, connected it to your TV, you'll probably get 1/2 or 1/3rd of the available channels, you would with a fairly average internal antenna. Signal gets weaker when passes through walls, NASA does not have an answer for that.

The actual adverts say it is for picking up "premium channels" as the USA cable suppliers are obliged to transmit these channels at a weaker and lower frequency. However, reviews actually call the claims "lying" and "claptrap".
Hardly think, even if true, it would apply to Spain.

Bit confused, but after reviewing the product, I do believe the marketing anyway, to be claptrap. It's an indoor antenna. Would appear very much over sold. Maybe i'm missing something.

Thank you for the info, you confirm what I was thinking. It looks like PR hype.
