I have one film antenna and the other lead is not connected yet. I get nice reception in San Jose area, about a dozen stations, along with the two or three music-video stations. During the travels around the town, the signal gets blocked sometimes by the high mountains but overall, the quality is ok. While in DC, I was getting about 18 stations, some good and some were not as good. In DC I actually used (don't laugh!) my old cell phone antennas, two of them.
I will look up the part number for the SMB connector and will post the link for you - DigiKey is the place to get them, along with FAKRA connectors if you need them and the whole bunch of other ones...
BTW, that is San Jose in Costa Rica, not in California..
