Customer Reviews


Alright, but better alternatives exist...
I tested this Phillips antenna in a couple different areas in and around the house. It brings in some channels fantastically, but misses others completely.

Make sure to try this indoor antenna first: Philips High Performance Amplified Indoor Uhf/Vhf/Fm/HDTV Antenna. Nothing else even compares so far and it is much easier to setup.


Worthless
I bought this antenna, believing my troubles were over, based on the majority of the reviews. Boy was I in for a suprise! It brings in ONE station just a little better than before, another station, the sound is better. Overall, I get 8 stations, the same as with my broken rabbit ears. Plus the fact that you must have the antenna lined up perfectly for any clarity.


Buy this if you're happy with only having 1-2 channels
After reading the reviewings on Amazon, I decided to buy this to get some HDTV channels. I checked antennaweb to determine the location of the transmission towers and installed the antenna outdoor toward my favorite channels. Those channels are only 26-32 miles from my location so I was expecting to get a good reception...but was I wrong! Before installing this antenna, I used an indoor RCA HDTV antenna I got from Walmart. I was getting 11 HDTV channels with the RCA antenna. After installing this, I got 1 HD channel and 1 other channel off and on and nothing else. I tried moving the antenna in all directions and got nothing...nada. So, that antenna is either defective or simply useless. I ended up returning it to Amazon and continue using the RCA antenna. Don't buy this if you want to get good signals!


Good product for a fare price.
I really enjoy this antenna, it is much less expensive than the super strong models, but works quite well. I am able to use it for reception on 2 tv's and I get recption for nbc, abc, cbs, fox, cw, pbs, rtn, and ion really well.


Tried the rest and this is the best!
I tried 6 different indoor antennas for digitial HD reception. A Phillips rabbit ear model worked pretty well out of all of them but I had to constantly adjust the ears for each channel to obtain optimal reception. I finally decided to get an exterior antenna but the homeowners association prohibits them mounted on the roof. All the satellite dishes are mounted on a post in the ground so I bought a post, mounted the antenna, pointed it, and voila! I now have 17 digital channels when I previously had only 5! I even picked up a couple analog channels from over 75 miles away. It is supposed to be multidirectional but aiming it helps. I used a nifty feature on the www.antennaweb.org website to determine the best direction. The antenna is mounted only five feet above the ground and dosen't look half bad although I have had a couple curious comments. The reception is better than a friends digital cable on the very same TV. Perhaps the other antennas would have worked good outside as well, but the rabbit ears would have continued to be a pain. From the research I have done, exterior mounting is the best way to go. BONUS! For kicks I hooked up my FM radio receiver to the same antenna and now I get more quality stereo stations than I need. Then I decided to add another spliter and hooked up a basement TV that I had relegated to DVD use only due to poor reception. The antenna powers all three devices with no noticable reduction in picture quality on the big screen. For less than this is a must buy for a low profile outdoor antenna. Three friends have purchased it on my advice and have thanked me profusely for the suggestion.
