I just know that having sold thousands of sets of G2 that the antennas do break, and that the less expensive Sony receiver with moveable antennas does in fact have a greater range than the G2. I'll put up a comparison when the G3 beta unit arrives.

I didn't say they don't break - but the breakages are extremely tiny. A tiny fraction of the G1 antennas and can be counted on the fingers of one hand (I checked with the UK Service Supervisor).

Orientation does affect reception - especially if one is horizontal and the other vertical.

But it doesn't seem to cause too much trouble in practice - just now and again. But G3 should make this easier and safer as it uses the output cable as a second antenna and this would be orientated differently from the main antenna.
