Oh, I'm sure there are uses for those features, just not for me right now.
My ht's get a ton of use in the summer, around the pool, on the deck, in
the garage if I'm planning on staying clean lol like that happens much, I'm
sure those features have their uses but I don't need them, I am thinking
about putting another outside antenna up for when I'm out there but haven't
done that yet I don't really need it I just like to annoy my family with
more antennas grin.
