Appearance
Not that Good
After reviewing this product on your website and reading other reviews. I thought i was purchasing a great product. But to my surprise..it's not that great at all. And on top of that, I brought (2) and one of the antennas had a broken connector..(beat that). So to anyone interested in purchasing this item..please reconsider.
Not the best reception.
With Philips antenna we were able to receive 13 channels in the area where Terk HDTVa Indoor Amplified High-Definition Antenna was picking up 17.It is possible that Philips antenna is just not for hilly Pittsburgh, PA.We were hoping to use it for the FM radio reception, but that would require and additional switch to redirect the output.
Fantastic - Nothing Else Compares!
This is an excellent HD antenna. It has always been hard to get TV reception in North Phoenix and this antenna got most the main stations right out of the box.With a little configuration, such as pointing the HD antenna in the correction direction and calibrating the correct signal amplification, you should be able to dial in almost every channel. To get the best possible reception with this antenna, try and position it someplace high inside, free from obstruction.Since you will probably end up testing a couple different of products before giving up, make sure to give this one a whirl first to avoid as much frustration as possible.
Not even as good as 15 year old rabbit ears
I was hoping for some improvement for one TV where there is no cable outlet on which I receive several channels reasonably well with some old rabbit ears. I hooked this up and received only one channel with picture quality so poor it is unwatchable. I unplugged it, reboxed it and sent it back.
This Item Stinks
I live on the north shore of Long Island. The reception stinks. I kept reading about how pure and uncompressed HDTV reception was via antenna... so i decided to take a gamble in the interests of technololgy.Well. I lost that gamble. The thing stinks. The antenna cannot catch on to a single broadcast flawlessly. There is No HD reception at all. There is Snow and wavy lines all over the picture. The worst part is.... my best channel.. reception-wise is Channel 8 news in Connecticut with Dan Petriw. If you know anything about news, you'd much rather watch Deb Petroske on WABC-NY 7 anyday.
Best of the bunch !
First off I tried a GE, it was a nice small design, it picked up 6 stations in my mountain location - but died after 24 hours, it's replacement died after 10 minutes.So I tried two RCA's and then this beauty, all sell for approximately the same price. The RCA's were very disappointing, but this baby pulled in 11 HD stations and so far is alive and well and living in Park City !!My only complaint is it's footprint. I also wish as HD channels are on UHF, I really don't need the VHF rabbit ears that come with this, it's a shame they are not removable for someone who simply wants this for HD.All in all, this is the best of 6 Indoor HD antennas that I have tried.If you have an HD signal, this has proved to be the best of the bunch at pulling it in.
